Most Secure (SSH) Telnet Client for Programming

[kuphryn]

Hi.

I use WinXP as a workstation at home. However, my C++ projects are run in UNIX at school. I would like to develope and implement the C++ source code from my workstation to the UNIX systems via telnet.

The network at my school require a secure "SSH shell." I cannot run GNU C++ otherwise. I would like to know what tool do I need to accomplish the task (telnet client)? Lastly, what is the best/most secure telnet client.

Thanks,
Kuphryn

go to Free SSH to see free clients for windows.

If you are like a unix shell, you could always get Cygwin, which includes ssh, bash shell, and a whole list of unix tools.

Check out PuTTY or TeraTerm Pro+SSH plugin.

Putty is the one I use.

OpenSSH for Windows 🙂

Accept no limitations.

 

[kuphryn]

Okay.

I will most likely go with SSH Client (www.ssh.net) Non-Commercial.

Does Cygwin support logging onto X?

No, Cygwin doesn't have an X server, but the ssh will tunnel X, as do most/all ssh clients.

If you need an X package, check out X-Win-32 (starnet.com). I believe they have student discounts, and it's a great package.

They also hace a bundle with F-Secure (a commercial ssh /sftp client), so ou can initiate an ssh-secured Xsession in one click.


Good Luck

??? http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/ is xfree for cygwin boxen. I'm using it at work to monitor my linux boxen. Only problem is, I'm having trouble getting ssh X-Forwarding working properly. But I think that is a user error.

Im not a Winders guy so I cant help with most of that, but I wanted to mention that getting X forwarding with OpenSSH took me a little while to get working correctly. The -X flag helped. Thats the only hint I can remember right off 😛

Sorry, I was unaware of the XFree for CygWin.

I use CygWin for some scripting stuff, but I use X-Win32 for the X stuff.

I'll try to dig a little deeper next time.

FWIW
