iPhone and iPod touch get their first SSH client
Hot damn.
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
iPhone and iPod touch get their first SSH client
Hot damn.
According to the reviews on the App Store, it sounds like it sucks, though. I think I'll wait a couple more weeks.
what exactly is SSH?
It stands for Secure Shell, it lets you securely terminal into another computer if that computer is running a SSH server.
It can be amazingly useful. With SSH (and screen) I can do all sorts of things on my home network remotely. My wife finds it easier to have me reboot our DVR, on the rare occasions it has a problem, from work than to do it manually.
It's like Telnet, except Telnet is insecure over networks, as the password gets transmitted unencrypted.
SSH is Secure Shell, a way of remotely connecting to systems, using encryption, and getting a command-line interface.
aha! thanks guys.
Okay, stupid question time. This is sort of technology, I guess.
We're about to sign up for digital cable for the first time. (Woot!) I'm assuming I need a digital receiver for each TV. Is that correct, or is there any way to get away with just one receiver?
It's for each TV. With cable, it's generally part of the cable box rather than a separate box in addition.
Apparently with the package I'm looking at, one receiver is included, and an additional one costs $5 a month. Is that reasonable? Irritating? Highway robbery?
