Yes, but most of them talked about the internals of SSH itself. It didn't seem terribly relevant to what I was looking to do. > You need an SSH server. PuTTY is just an SSH client. Ah ha, I think this is the key. After you said this, I went looking for a WinSSH server. I found one, OpenSSH for Windows, but it seems that this project stopped back on Nov 20. > There are also other encrypted tunneling options available (Zebedee > comes to mind, along with full blown VPN). I did a google search on Zebedee, and found the main site for it. But I couldn't *really* tell what was involved in setting this up. = = = Maybe I should start at the beginning. Basically, this friend has 2 computers, 1 running WinXP, the other Win2000 Pro. WinXP has something called "Remote Desktop Connection" - basically Terminal Services. But to get this for the Win2k box, he'd have to be running server. So rather than try to find a Terminal Services/RDC server for Win2k Pro, I suggested using WinVNC (which I already use to maintain my mother's computer remotely). But he's behind a firewall, meaning getting to the WinVNC server is not possible without using some sort of tunneling. My question: a) is WinVNC using tunneling the best approach for what we're trying to do? b) if (a) is YES, then what's the best way to go about it - keeping in mind that we're talking about Win-Win? Some step-by-step getting started advice would be helpful here... + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Chris Barnes AOL IM: CNBarnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo IM: chrisnbarnes Computer Systems Manager ph: 979-845-7801 Department of Physics fax: 979-845-2590 Texas A&M University _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
