Re:I like
Also, you'll need putty's sftp client if you want to do it right. That's another exe you need to download. And don't forget to enable sftp on your server as well.
I use scp for copying files. Usually between *nix boxes, but there's pscp (command line) and WinSCP (GUI) if you're on a windows box.
Does sftp do anything winSCP can't?
Oh, and if you're somewhere where you can't install software for whatever reason, there's a java SSH client too. This needs to be hosted from the same IP you're connecting to because of java's security model, which might be a problem for a cable-modem user. -
IsuuesOur company offered to pay for the broadband (cable or DSL) connection. However, if the company paid, the connection was restricted to business use, and the terms of the corporate code of conduct. Browse porn or use P2P and you could be fired. Most employees opted to pay for the connection themselves, to be free of the restrictions.
Nortel VPN was used. However, in subsequent jobs, SSH was more flexible and lower cost (using non-standard ports to make port scans more time consuming). I preferred SSH, since a client wasn't even needed (you can use a web browser with a SSL protected Java client, like JavaSSH. I was able to securely access from the road by logging in from a public library. That's something that is difficult or impossible to do with a VPN. No dongles or SecurIDs to lose or manage either.

Even better; use the Java Telnet Application
The Java Telnet Application supports SSH, and if you require SSL and password access to the directory in your web server, you can be reasonably secure with the login.

Other cool remote web stuff
Everyone knows VNC. It is great. Some don't know that you can run VNC as a java application, so that you can use most any web-enabled workstation to interact with your servers. For a start, here's the Debian package: VNC Java.
Also, there is a Java SSH client here: Java SSH Client.
Good stuff, and both have saved me a number of times in the past. -
Re:How about a Java ssh/telnet applet?
Yeah, you sure wouldn't find it by googling java ssh or maybe by going to javassh.org.
I mean... that would just be too easy and too obvious. -
Re:I dunno...
http://www.javassh.org may be of interest them (assuming you can persuade an IS representative to install the J2SE 1.4 RTE with Java WebStart...)

Re:Why a big deal?OK so your users don't have local admin rights on their machines. Can they save an
.exe file and run it? If so, they can run PuTTY and tunnel out. Oops. Back to the drawing board...OK, they can't save and run
.exe files now. Can they run Java applets? If so, they can run javassh and tunnel out. Oops. Back to the drawing board...OK now you have them locked down so tight they can't surf, can't run java applets, can't save files, and so forth. Unfortunately, they can't do anything productive either. Oops. Back to the drawing board...

Re:PuTTY
It looks like MindTerm is no longer free - try the Java Telnet/SSH applet/application.
