Any easy SSH help available?

Hi Folks, I need to set-up an UVNC link to several business-clients systems, most of which are using UVNC. I'd like to implement SSH to secure the link between us (software updates and support will be delivered in this way - so protection of passwords is essential).

Q. Whats the easiest way to set-up SSH?

Q. What SSH elements do I need to install on the Client (Local) and, whats to go on the Server / Proxy at the clients office?

Q. If a client is using another flavour of VNC in his office, can UVNC still connect to it? (tight VNC / RealVNC etc).

This SSH is probably the most confusing set-up I have come accross to date!

Help appreciated.

If you are looking for a secure way to set up connections via you and a host, and use the easiest paths available I would do the following -

Use the Security DSM. On one of the locations create a key file. Then place this key file on the server computer. From here you can ensure that the stream is actually encrypted.

Since you are connecting to clients - varying on the firewall / router they have at their internet egress you may also be able to customize a specific IP being able to connect to a port on your network.

If they dont have a robust enough router / firewall then I would just merely suggest using the DSM.

I dont know how to do the ssh, I know if you search the forum there are posts on it.. but it seems fairly interesting to set up. One of these days I will but the security plugin works for me, I change this on a weekly basis, due to those out on the net that have nothing better to do.

Hi,

I'm using a ssh tunnel with putty. But you should have a ssh server which is able to do tunneling (not a ciso one

)

just have to configure a user on the server and putty with :

SSH

Don't start a shell or command at all
Enable compression

--Tunnels

Source port 5900
Destination hostname:5900
Local

and then click add.

You should have a line : L5900 hostname:5900

Then just connect to the ssh server, thu putty windows stay here after authentication.
and run your vncviewer with localhost as target.

For me it works fine.
