| From: Alvin Starr via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | | Does anybody know of a software package or service that does for SSH the kind | of thing that teamviewer does? | | I run into linux systems that are behind firewalls and trying to bounce | through some windows box using teamviewer or other screen sharing app is | getting real old. I don't know what teamviewer does. Can you explain? Particularly in the scenario you are talking about. Windows boxes now have ssh. And they can have a large chunk of certain Linux distros. But they do ssh natively out-of-the-box. I've only use ssh as a client on Window with Windows. But surely Windows has an ssh server too (what would the shell be? PowerSell? cmd.exe?). Why would you bounce through a Windows box? Surely Windows is a bad choice for a gateway. Lots of people think Windows boxes are fine: 1) on a desktop (not me) 2) on a server for services that are designed to run on Windows. But not a gateway/router.
