Accessing SSH from Network with outbound firewall

carters2 · 10-20-2009, 02:36 PM

Hey guys. I have a website that is hosted on a ubuntu server. My website is written in mostly php with a little javascript/ajax thrown in there. When I am at work due to the outbound firewall rules I cannot initiate a connection on port 22. I was wondering if anybody knows of an ssh client that I can embed in my web page that will run on the server side so I can communicate with the server with ssh but i am sending the data to the webserver on 443

Check out the Mindterm program...a java applet that does just that. Webmin can also be configured for it, if I remember correctly.

can you not just proxy your ssh client through a web proxy there? Or use tor or somesuch? SSH on a webpage never ends well, really wouldn't recommend it. They are out there though, php based terminals at least, not ssh necessarily per se.
