Hi.
Sorry for those that do not understand this, because i won't ramble along about what http ftp and ssh servers are, the chances are that if you don't kno what it means, you won't be able to help, sorry.
Anyway, i'm trying to use openssh for windows atm for the ssh side've things, but that isn't starting when i use net start, which other ssh servers do you all like that support tunneling?
I would also like to get some idea about which http and ftp servers to use, baring in mind that this computer that will run this could be a 600 mhz but will most lightly be 300 mhz, so nothing to intensive please.
Thanks for any ideas&links, BEN.

Hi. I don't use a ssh server, but I do use an ftp and an http server.
I use home web server and home ftp. Both of them are free.
I think you can get them at
http://downstairs.net.
You also need a dns client if you don't already have one.
If you would like help setting these up, you can ask me.

There's also xitami (http://www.xitami.com).
For your dns-related issues, visit no-ip.com.

Cool, i'll check the above out; does anyone use open ssh for windows or another ssh server?
