SSH COnnection, Only port 80

volksport · 03-01-2003, 10:16 AM

I would like to SSH into my Linux Box which is at home.

It is behind a router.

At work I can only use port 80.

First, what port does SSH use, secondly,
Is there a web-based script/program that I can install on the server so I can do SSH through the browser?

This is a Fresh redhat 8.0 Server Install, with no GUI.
Lots of help would be appreciated, im new to linux.

By default SSH uses port 22. I don't understand what you mean by using SSH through the browser. SSH will give you a shell. Are you saying that your firewall at work only allows port 80 out to the internet? Try something like putty to access SSH from a Windows box. A friend of mine told me that putty tricked his companies firewall so maybe it will work for you too.

Yes my work only allows port 80 traffic.
I wouldnt mind making SSH use port 80 if thats possible on the box.

Im not sure if I can install anything at work, thats why a web based solution would probably work the easiest, or If i can change SSH to port 80 that would probably solve it right there.

Well you could bind SSH to port 80 but I wouldn't do that. Its just too much of a securtiy risk. With all the garbage that gets thrown at port 80 someone might see that your running SSH instead of HTTPD on port 80 and start password guessing and what not. Did you try putty?

wouldnt that have to be installed on the Client machine?

Again, its at work and I can PROBABLY get administrator rights if i remember the password, but im looking for an easy way to SSH into my box from work..

I dont DO ANYTHING at work, so im bored, I might as well learn linux while im there.

If you run windows from work and you want to ssh into your linux box install putty on your windows machine at work. Putty is an SSH client for windows.
