I'm curious why you would need PuTTY for SUSE. OpenSSH does the exact same thing (from your standard Terminal).

PuTTY lets you set up all kinds of special options, tied to which host you are connecting to. So you can set special backgrounds, etc. It also remembers connection info, does port forwarding, allows terminal customization for each host, etc. Now perhaps it can all be done using other tools, but it's a pretty powerful GUI for all this, and provides a Unix build. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

why u don't use freeNX from nomachine website(googling it for latest version)

I think it needs to run on the remote machine too, and I don't have any control over that. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

The ssh daemon on the host machine is usually activated by default, have a look at the man page (man ssh) for ssh capabilities...

I meant the FreeNX server, not ssh. ssh works just fine.

As a taster to open a remote session in a new window in any konsole session enter...

ssh -Xf <servername> <command>

Yeah, I did track down the -X option. Didn't try the -f option though. That's why I like the idea of a GUI front end to ssh, like kssh. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, an Open OS weblog: http://freebsd.amazingdev.com/blog/ UNIX is user-friendly.

With Konsole (in kdebase3) you can create 'sessions' that capture all of this information - ssh to a particular host including port forwarding, special 'schema' (themes, including backgrounds), and custom terminal selection. The Sessions section of chapter 2 of the Konsole handbook explains how to do this in detail.

Oh for pete sake!

All of this can be done with ssh.

Yes.

RTFM. Why would Putty have port forwarding if it was not already supported by every ssh client and server in the world? Putty is a miserable attempt to replicate in windows what is already available in every linux distro.

You can but down windows and other commercial products as much as you like (unless it's completely unwarranted), but PuTTY (which is free and not done by large organization) happens to be one of the best quality software around. Has always been. It is definitely not a "miserable attempt"! It's the SSH client that is used on windows everywhere. For example, the people who use cygwin/X to get X to windows, even those always use PuTTY for SSH as it just works. I think this thread further proves it - PuTTY can do everything (and maybe some more) for Windows that is included in unix/Linux distros (from the point of view of SSH) _and_ do that so that you do not need to RTFMs! And, that (the user friendliness), is already a good enough reason for somebody to want it on SUSE. Personally, I do not need it on Linux or OS X (although, I could see some people wanting it there too..). But, please do not dismiss good software without warrant. -- HG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I would like to see PuTTY package for openSUSE. Even more than PuTTY, I would like to see central 3rd party repository for SuSE, like Mandriva "contrib" or Fedora "extras".

putty is windows only client AFAIK.

you have ssh and sftp natevely in opensuse.

if you need GUI, use kssh. and for sftp, in konqueror just type: sftp://username@server. It will ask for password.

I don't see kssh anywhere.

Its on my install media for 10.0.

You don't have to add it to Yast. You can always download the rpm and install it manually. -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Probably. On my system, a 10.0 installation, it probably originates in this package: % rpm -qa |egrep -i kssh kssh-0.7-790 Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
