Hi Gerard > Wath services support SSH , like telnet and ftp ?? SSH is a service itself, you must a server and client programs in order to use SSH. SSH is a Secure Shell commonly used in Unix like sistems. > and if it supports telnet , does I need a specific client program on the pc > that is going to connect or I just keep using the program I use normally ? Optionaly SSH offers SCP (Secure Copy) that copy files between server and client. In Windows you can use WinSCP in GNU/Linux you can use "scp" command or gFTP too if your server support sFTP. sFTP is a server side program that emulate FTP when SSH shell is invoked.
You can redirect TCP ports with SSH but this is another story. Regards Juan M Mouriz
