| thafreak | Anyone install ssh server on windows before? | 17:46 |
|---|---|---|
| Unit193 | Actually, yes. | 17:46 |
| thafreak | what did you install? | 18:34 |
| thafreak | I've used cygwin in the past...is there a better option? | 18:34 |
| Unit193 | Depends, I did it several times several ways. I think I did cygwin, did freesshd (lazy that time), then there was some other one, give me a sec to find it. | 18:35 |
| Unit193 | https://www.itefix.no/i2/copssh, but it's changed quite a bit since I did. | 18:37 |
| thafreak | i've been meaning to get ssh installed on my mom's computer... | 18:53 |
| thafreak | but I think she handles her own problems anymore | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | Yes, very smart thing to do! I recommend no passwords and alternate port. | 18:54 |
| thafreak | but I have paying customers that it'd be nice to be able to get in and run stuff without bothering them | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | Remember that you may need to port forward. | 18:54 |
| thafreak | haha, yeah I know man... | 18:54 |
| Unit193 | I installed linux on 3 family member computers, I have root and ssh on all 3. | 18:55 |
| thafreak | actually, I may have them run an auto outbound ssh with a reverse tunnel back to themselves | 18:55 |
| Unit193 | thafreak: Sure, sometimes it's the basics that get me.... | 18:55 |
| Unit193 | Done that. | 18:55 |
| Unit193 | autossh++ | 18:55 |
| Unit193 | (The family members know I have root, BTW) | 18:55 |
| thafreak | wish I could get others to try it... | 18:56 |
| Unit193 | I was pretty surprised, actually. | 18:56 |
| thafreak | my mom just started learning how to solve her own problems, since I kept suggesting she should install linux | 18:56 |
| thafreak | she's an accountant and HAS TO HAVE quickbooks... :) | 18:57 |
| thafreak | i did get her to try out gnucash...but it's to simple I guess... | 18:57 |
| Unit193 | You use it?/ | 18:57 |
| thafreak | i use gnucash | 18:57 |
| Unit193 | Also, since it's that time again, you used taxcut in Linux? | 18:58 |
| thafreak | i refuse to use quickbooks | 18:58 |
| thafreak | never tried it | 18:58 |
| thafreak | i go to an actual accountant | 18:58 |
| thafreak | hand them a spreadsheet of all my business expenses, and let him type it in | 18:58 |
| thafreak | have you used taxcut? | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | That's what's generally used here, wondering if I'll need to setup a VM or what. | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | (No Windows computers here at all this year.) | 19:01 |
| Cheri703 | Unit193: taxcut is the H&R block one? you'll need a win vm | 19:02 |
| Unit193 | Cheri703: Danke! | 19:03 |
| Cheri703 | yep | 19:03 |
| Unit193 | Really should try to recover the files on the HDD so we can send it back and get something actually up and running on the computer. :/ | 19:04 |
| Unit193 | Heh, kind of wish we had faster upload speed than ~120KB/s | 20:30 |
