ssh app

[kserg]

I do not know if this been talked over before, couldent find it in search, sorry. But one thing that would be useful is ssh from DA (web ssh included in DA) kinda like cp i believe...

Sometimes i need to get on the box itself but have no way of getting there, especially in schools where there is no ssh on pc and you cant install anything or download anything.

So i think some simple ssh would be useful if something needs to be done fast.

If its a security threat for some... un/pass still needed.. and well i geuss make it disabled, or disabled for some users..

Cheers

Putty doesn't work either? You don't have to install it.

Floppy disk :p

Doesn't javassh require the server to have tomcat to run as a servlet or something like that? If thats the case, I see this as hard put to be implemented since not all Operating System DA supports are so friendly with Java (e.g. FreeBSD)

But who knows, maybe some type of custom ssh link could be made or something.
I wonder if a plugin could be made to simulate ssh with php, similar to phpchat or something.

Webmin has an SSH module or interface built in.
It's been a while since I have used it, but from what I remember I think it was a javascript?

It is a java app, doesn't need tomcat though.
