There's a nice point-and-click OpenSSH server installer at http://sshwindows.sourceforge.net/
However, I agree with others that initial configuration (even using the very good 'quick start guide') can still be a bit tricky (where you create the passwd and group files) - it stumped me for a couple of days until I realised my silly mistake. If you have the time and are so inclined, have a play with sshwindows package I mention above. However, if you don't find this sort of thing 'fun' or have no time, then VNC Enterprise sounds like a very good solution. An apparently easier solution to SSH is Zebedee, but I've never tried it http://www.winton.org.uk/zebedee/.

H." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, [EMAIL PROTECTED] First a quick comment, if you want security on VNC then the best/easiest method might be to purchase VNC enterprise which has built in encryption. If you really want to try ssh, be warned, its not always easy. SSH does not work like VPN. SSH can establish "tunnels" the documentation for this can be located where you got your client from. (Local Port Tunnel) SSH Client --------------------------------> SSH Server 5901-------------------------------------5900 so in the viewer on the client I type localhost:5901 and this connects via tunnel to the ssh server's port 5900. There are other fancier thing you can do with SSH too like SSH Client ------------------------------> SSH Server -------------------------------> other computer 5901 -----------------encrypted-----------//////-----------------Clear------- ----------->5900 Let me know which SSH client you are using if you need help. --Angelo On Mon, 1 Nov 2004 17:54:05 -0500, John Aldrich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Err... probably not.
