free public ssh server

[skisteven1]

Hey guys,

Sorry in advance if this is posted somewhere -- I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

I'm looking for a free, public ssh server out on the net somewhere. I remember seeing a list of them once, but googling seems to list only results for installing OpenSSH or FreeSSH or something. I'd just like access to a server that someone else already set up (for port forwarding purposes).

Any suggestions?

Not sure what exactly a public ssh server is...SSH is just a security protocol running on top of Unix (usually) and other OS...
You're saying that there are public servers that allow you to SSH in??

A public shell server is what he means.

I don't know anything about this list:

Probably means a free Hosting services that already installed SSH for him.

No, he's trying to get around a firewall.

...and probably for MS Windows.

I found some SSH servers, the cheapest of which was US$39.00 (personal use only, I believe, commercial license was ~100.00).

I tried it for a Lab project (SSH to a WIN2003 server), it works pretty well and includes the entire suite (i.e., SFTP, port forwarding, SCP, etc)

SSH can be configured to accept traffic destined for any port, pass it through the tunnel on port 22, then pass it from the receiver to any other port.

It's called WinSSHd, and here's the link:

BitVise

They provide a full-function, time-bombed 30 deay demo with registration.

The only other option I can think of, and I'm not it's in there, but you could try installing CygWin, which is open licensing.

FWIW

Windows remote managment is years behind openssh, it's too bad MS doesn't rip off (more of) OpenBSD to make their product better )

Services for Unix is supposedly OpenBSD based.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Everyone else -- sorry for the confusion. And in all fairness, *I'm* already past the firewall, this is for a friend to learn linux.

To Scottmac -- why would you use something other than OpenSSH, which is... y'know, free? Luckily, I've got one of those nifty linux routers and don't have to deal with that. Thanks for the attempt though

VMWare is a better way to learn Linux.

Some commercial versions of SSH include some value add software, including central management (I think, I'm an OpenSSH guy ).
