Mac ::: iSSH
Posted by: fidel in Security, mac, tags: cli, issh, security, ssh://, terminal, vncDescription:
iSSH is a front-end application to the command line application â œsshâ . It provides a quick and easy way to start an SSH connection to a remote computer. You may be asking, â œWhatâ s the point of running SSH without an interactive command prompt (Terminal)?â Well, running SSH in the background will not supply a prompt, but, it will forward ports. This is the main purpose of iSSH. You can set two options with iSSH; which ports to forward to the remote computer, or, to start an SSH SOCKS proxy. The first could be used to forward a VNC connection over SSH and the latter could be used to bypass your workâ s website filters! Either way, it provides a simple way to start an SSH connection for those who are afraid of the Terminal or just donâ t need it.
