For sure cygwin runs command line apps like bash I've done that, I didn't try running firefox on it though so don't know about g.u.i. apps for cygwin. On Wed, 30 Mar 2016, Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona wrote: Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2016 01:10:07 From: "Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona" R

How can an ssh client run in a browser? Maybe the ssh client can be launched by the browser. But it has to establish a connection and talk to the server via the ssh protocol on port 22. Ultimately, it's no different than putty or secureCRT. On 03/31/2016 03:11 AM, Henry Yen wrote: On Wed,

John is correct except that SSH can be configured to run on any port, including port 80, if you like. It's not restricted to port 22. Many people I know have begun configuring their SSH to listen on nonstandard ports as an additional measure of security. I was in an ISO meeting at the British Stan

Right but my point is that all that is is chrome acting as a ssh client. It's an ssh client with the chrome user interface. Maybe pointing out that it's not a meaningful distinction is not a meaningful point. I guess if it looks like a web-based client, that's all that matters, right? But the

I would observe my entire experience of SSH is as a terminal interface. I am only academically aware there's also the 'ssh -x' command--academically, because the -x doesn't provide an accessible gui. If the browser's, web-based ssh accessed something that was actually accessible, that would be ver

My bad when writing the below. I guess I hadn't had enough coffee yet! My apologies. Clearly, if the issue is running accessible gui apps under cygwin, you'd need to provide the entire infrastructure that Orca requires. I don't believe cygwin does that. And, I don't see the point of trying to add

Hi, Chris: The best path to interoperable applications, imo, is to use W3C standards such as html5 and ARIA. The application that delivers its UI using HTML and ARIA will be very accessible across all modern environments, especially when the issues with mobile browser accessibility are finally res

The -x flag means that after you log into the remote server, you can run X11 apps on the remote machine and have the display appear on your local machine. X11 works by sending instructions to the X11 server on your local machine. So when you run an X11 program locally, it's talking to a server
