Cygwin

[Maximilian]

Just downloading and installing Cygwin now.

The reason I'm doing this is to
1.) Get a good SSH server and
2.) Use X forwarding so I can play Kolf.

Now... will it work ?

EDIT:
I'm also going to download Xming and see if that works.

[_stanley]

I hope it works. I also hope you can run it off your portable hard disk. You should send an email to me and observe the results. My email is downloaded and filtered every minute.

[_stanley]

OK.

You were supposed to read the edit to a post I wrote a while ago.

[Maximilian]

I know. So I can? And everything's the same ?

EDIT: as in details.

[_stanley]

You can. I was assuming you'd test it when I posted before. I haven't changed my password. I have decided I trust you.

[Maximilian]

Woot.

I just looked through my SSH logs:

[Maximilian]

The Chinese are trying to hack into your ssh server ?

EDIT: This is useful - socialistsushi.com/portaputty

[_stanley]

They're not targeting me, it's a random botnet attack. Everybody who owns an SSH server gets them. I looked it up on Google.

[Maximilian]

Aah. And now that I have XMing (I abandoned Cygwin/X because I attempted to download too much) I will try to use ssh.

[Maximilian]

This probably won't work as I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

[_stanley]

start-ssh starts the SSH server.
You can then SSH in (except I've just changed my password to a more secure one because of the botnet attacks). stop-ssh stops it. You will need to wait at around a minute until it happens. In Putty did you specify the address of the local X server?

[Maximilian]

I had to get the wrong one.

EDIT: I never logged onto ssh. And I didn't add an address into putty (the tutorial i followed said nothing about it)

EDIT2: D'oh !

[_stanley]

D'oh?

EDIT:
If you want to connect, it is:

ssh -p 443 [-X] james@82.33.119.96 [-L5900:localhost:5900]

the -X is for X forwarding
the -L... is for VNC forwarding
If it connects, you will get this:
