Well, the modern web browser is being treated as more of an application platform than a document viewer these days, and you can run all sorts of things in them, including ssh clients. This has been going on for years with Chrome. They have something called ssh in a tab, which is an ssh client running inside the browser. This is how you use ssh as a client in ChromeOS, where Chrome is more-or-less the user interface layer. I have no idea how accessible "ssh in a tab" is, but considering just how much I dislike web browsers, I cannot imagine that I would consider it a pleasant experience. Anyway, to each their own. I seem to recall that "ssh in a tab" is implemented as a browser extension. Some quick googling reveals something called FireSSH, which is an ssh client written entirely in JavaScript, supporting both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. The difference between this kind of thing and native applications like Putty and SecureCRT is that the browser-based thing is cross-platform. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Blinux-list mailing list Blinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/blinux-list
