I guess I'm at a backwards company because the network admin has all the out bound ports blocked except for ports 80 and 22.
How do you send e-mail, ftp, or view secure, https, sites?
Hm.. Good question. I do believe that the network admin does have https open (port 443 if I remember correctly). She must also have port 25 (I think that is correct for email). I do know she has it to where everyone must use secure ftp to get out. What I do know is that she doesn't allow anyone to get out on weird ports like 5901 5801 etc. Just those she knows that are going to be used like port 80, 22, email, and secure ftp. It's crazy I know. I've been trying to get her to change this for months but still no luck.
I only allow SSH into my linux boxes anyway. So I agree with her! Of course allowing ssh, is allowing almost anything since you can tunnel to your hearts content, but then again it's all secure... Jerry
