[opensuse-wiki] SSH Tunnels form Microsoft Windows
Hi, What you opinion on supporting this in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/SSH_Tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows. It's clearly a windows / PuTTY howto. Maybe it's more appropriate mentioning PuTTY somewhere, with some short possibilities. (eg in the openSSH article). I feel that strict Windows Howto's, that don't really touch openSUSE (maybe only when you are actually accessing an openSSH server which is maybe running on Linux and than maybe on openSUSE), don't belong in the wiki. That's an opinion off course. Greetings, Tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org

Well... speaking from personal experience... I've needed exactly this info/knowledge to connect from a Windows computer (office, internet cafe etc) to my machine at home running openSUSE. The info on this Wiki page is really useful - especially for those of us unfamiliar with Windows (I haven't used Windows in any real capacity in 10 years). I know Putty exists but knowing how to use it to tunnel to my own machine... not high on my "remember this" list. Personally, I'd say the page is very useful, and should be kept. That's an opinion of course :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
If you look at it from that way... I agree with you, it's a nice piece of software, I'm actually using it right now to tunnel decent, uncensored Internet from Libya, being to lazy to cary a second laptop around (work laptop with xp :-( ) . It is a nice article about PuTTY. But, my question is: is the openSUSE wiki the correct place to keep it? 2010/7/7 C <smaug42@gmail.com>:

In short yes. It is help to openSUSE and Linux users when they have to use Windows, so it should be handy in some well known place, instead to hunt it down all over the Internet. Although it should be in SDB namespace when transferred, like: http://wiki.opensuse.org/SDB:SSH_tunnels_from_Microsoft_Windows PuTTY is still interesting when you can install it on Windows computer, otherwise Live USB + extra writable data partition makes whole system that one can take from one computer to the other. -- Regards Rajko, -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
