Secure Shell or SSH is a secure means of controlling a remote machine.

Closing a Hung Session

Type enter, tilde (~), period, enter to exit a hung SSH session.

Tunneling

You can tunnel single ports or run a socks proxy with SSH. Google for SSH forwarding or see the howto below.

Example

Socks proxy

This will open a Socks proxy on port 6969. Configure your applications to proxy through localhost:6969 to use the tunnel.

ssh -D 6969 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org

Tunnel single port

This opens a tunnel to milton.vtluug.org which is redirected through acidburn.

ssh -L 6969:milton.vtluug.org:22 wadsworth@acidburn.vtluug.org

now, on your machine, open a new shell, and run:

ssh localhost -p 6969 -l wadsworth

to ssh into milton as wadsworth.
