Things look quiet here. But I've been doing a lot of blogging at
dan.langille.org because I prefer WordPress now.
Not all my posts there are FreeBSD related.
I am in the midst of migrating The FreeBSD Diary over to WordPress
(and you can read about that here).
Once the migration is completed, I'll move the FreeBSD posts into the
new FreeBSD Diary website.
mindterm - ssh connections via web browsers14 November 2000
Yesterday, I was writing about a webmail
application. The main reason I was installing that was to access my mail via a
web broswer. I spend time at sites without ssh access.
Today I was
told about an ssh connection which can be acheived via a web broswer: mindterm. For a list of features, see http://www.mindbright.se/mindterm/. In
short, mindterm is a java applet which acts as a terminal. It is also ssh
capable.
To run the applet, browse to the file mindterm-ssh.html and the ssh
connection will begin.
Problems
None that I know of. But have a look at this screen (about 36KB) which shows what to expect when
you login.
I'm having someone look into the random number generation which mindterm
uses. As with anything, you should be cautious when it comes to security. I want to
know more. Watch this space.
I've heard reports of mindterm not working with IE5.01. I used Netscape 4.74 with
success. I've been told Netscape 4.08 works.
