The program I have been writing for a while Linna is now up to version 0.51. It allows you to set up a username and password and log into your computer from somewhere else using a telnet client.
It has an extensive list of commands like fread (reads files), key (press keys) and getscreen (screenshot). Not only can you call external commands like you would in command prompt, but it has over 65 built in commands including basic file system commands like cd, rm, mv and cp.
It encrypts your passwords so that people cannot get your password if they find your ini file. You can set permissions on different users and a lot more. the fread command will allow you to read files using ed commands, so if you have ever used ed (an old Unix text editor) you can read files in an environment that is familiar to you.
It is free and open source; I would be greatful if someone gave me feedback. I am not trying to just advertize my program, I truely think it is useful in many ways, even I run it locally for certain commands that I wouldn't otherwise be able to do. But also, I want all of your help. Tell me how you like it, tell me what is wrong with it, or even send me code if you know autoit and I'll see if it is worth putting in.

Here's a huge suggestion. Change the connection protocol used to SSH2, and then I will get excited about downloading it. Good idea though for sure.

telnet's still useful--it is used for many different muds as well by most users. You could add instead of replacing the connection protocols.

yeah, ssh would be hard to implament into autoit sense most ssh is coded in c. Perhaps I could find a dll and implament it that way. I was thinking about trying that or writing a program that would connect to the Linna Home server ecrypted and then you'd telnet locally into the program so you have an encrypted connection. When I'm away from my computer, I use Linna but I go through an SSH tunnel.
I am very concerned about encryption and am definitely trying to find a solution. If anyone is willy to try it either through an encrypted tunnel or test it locally, let me know how it goes, with your feedback, I can improve it even more.
It is open source for a couple of reasons. One is so that people can send me code modification or new code if they have any ideas and know Autoit. THe other reason is because this is a program to remotely control your computer and I respect the fact that a back door could easily be put into one of these programs. I expect the same out of other people (I won't use encryption software unless it is open source; it is too risky). So because I expect that from other people, I will give you the same. If anyone has any ideas on how to implament ssh2 with this program (supporting multiple connections), let me know and I'll try it.
