There are free solutions available for web-based SSH; cf. here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web-based_SSH
The way you might want to set this up is so that you might install your own chosen web-based SSH software on the same OpenBSD box that also is the one you want to access via web-based SSH. (So the actual SSH traffic then becomes traffic to localhost.) Be aware that whatever box the web-based SSH software runs on can potentially see and intercept the SSH traffic in clear text, so you want to be in control of that box. Also, be VERY aware that this -*at best*- reduces the security offered by SSH to that offered by HTTPS. (Wasn't there some news some time back that HTTPS had been defeated in some context? Does anyone remember?) Whether you are prepared to sacrifice this much security for convenience obviously is for you to decide. That said, if you do implement something like this, I'd be interested in reading your notes about exactly how and you did things. Yeah, I'm a curious feller. --regards, ropers 2011/6/15 Jean-Frangois SIMON <jfsimon1...@gmail.com>: > Hi, > > I have a remote controlled machine which I manage by ssh and yet I'm in the > process of making up a small web page through which basic commands can be > passed. > > I have no clear idea regarding how to design this, in the first place I > thought about a cgi script written in C which I did manage to have it say > "hello world" at the present time, but not yet much more. > > There's not yet clear clues regarding how to make this peace of web > interface talk to the system and I would like to make it clean by means of > elegant way to deal with web page <-> system communication. > > Any clue regarding the way it could be ? > > Thanks, > > Jean-Frangois
