[17:46] <thafreak> Anyone install ssh server on windows before?
[17:46] <Unit193> Actually, yes.
[18:34] <thafreak> what did you install?
[18:34] <thafreak> I've used cygwin in the past...is there a better option?
[18:35] <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.
[18:37] <Unit193> https://www.itefix.no/i2/copssh, but it's changed quite a bit since I did.
[18:53] <thafreak> i've been meaning to get ssh installed on my mom's computer...
[18:54] <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...
[18:55] <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)
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <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
[19:00] <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.
[19:01] <Unit193> (No Windows computers here at all this year.)
[19:02] <Cheri703> Unit193: taxcut is the H&R block one? you'll need a win vm
[19:03] <Unit193> Cheri703: Danke!
[19:03] <Cheri703> yep
[19:04] <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. :/
[20:30] <Unit193> Heh, kind of wish we had faster upload speed than ~120KB/s
[20:46] <andygraybeal_> :)
