Software for Connecting to Comp's SSH (PuTTY)

[EthanMcL]

Hey, currently my situation is that every time I need to restart a certain process on my server, I need to PuTTY in from my VPNed computer and do it from there.  A real pain for when I am out and about.

 

What type of options could I use to do it from my iPhone (unjailbroken)?

 

Something like remote desktop into the computer, then trying to use PuTTY on top of that, is not ideal.  Someway to connect to the computer and go straight to a SSH interface?

 

Cheers

Anything would be helpful so I don't have to worry about it!

Check out this app??

It's a free SSH Client App for iOS that should work just fine with your unjailbroken iPhone

The problem is my iPhone isn't on the same network as the server, and I can't VPN my phone into the network (various reasons).

 

I need to connect to the computer that is on the network, which can SSH into the server.

 

The method of connecting to the computer and then rooting to the SSH client is what I am looking for.

Defeats the whole purpose of SSH...

Ehhh...LogMeIn, then remotely SSH from your desktop?

 

No?

I guess you could use TeamViewer but your iPhone doesn't have to be on the same network as your server to SSH in. You can SSH over internet by connecting to your servers external IP as long as you portfoward the SSH port

I have thought about remoting in, and it may come to that!  Not clean, but it seems to be the only option in my situation.

Can't do that in this situation! Not my call to open that port.

 

I'll look into a secondary option someone picked my brain with yesterday, and see if it works out.

I meant use TeamViewer to remote into your VPNed computer and then SSH into the server. TeamViewer has a iPhone app and doesn't require any portfowarding.

Install webmin on your server, get a xyz.no-ip.xyz adress, login from anywhere in the world. 

 

If that isn't secure enough for you, then use something like screen for linux and make a few startup scripts.
