Win 95/98/NT ssh client

  1. Get the Teraterm telnet client and install that.

  2. Get the ttssh extension to terraterm and unzip it into the directory where Teraterm is installed (by default this is
    C:\Program Files\TTERMPRO.

  3. Get the libeayus dll's. You will have to click on a time dependant link to get to the ftp site, then click on the MISC folder, and look for libeayus.zip. Once you have the replacement DLL pop that in the Teraterm directory also (again default is
    C:\Program Files\TTERMPRO).

Now you can run the ttssh.exe program in the Teraterm directory. To forward ftp and X11 connections through ssh:
  • Click on Setup
  • ............. SSH Forwarding
  • ............. Add
  • ............. Local Port
  • Type in 20 for the port and the name of the machine you will ssh to
  • Repeat for port 21
  • To forward X11 click in the Display X11.... checkbox

The "built-in" ftp client that comes with Win9x does not seem to do passive transfers, and therefore will not work with an ssh tunnel. To use WS_FTP95 with ssh you have to enable passive mode. To do this:

  • Click on Options
  • ............. Session
  • ............. Use Passive Transfer Mode

Netscape Navigator seems to work out of the box, as does IE 4.0 (but not 5.0). An important thing to remember is that when you enable port forwarding you need to configure the other apps tht you are using to connect through ssh. For example, if you are forwarding ftp then you would no longer try to connect to "ftp.phys.ufl.edu," you would type "ftp localhost" and then the ftp connection would be tunnelled through to the ssh server. Same thing for your pop3 client and X11 server.

Note that you will only be able to ftp to the same machine as you are sshing to. The Teraterm program will allow you to type in any machinename you wish, and the ftp connection will succeed, but the traffic is only encrypted between your PC and the ssh server. The rest of the trip is in the clear. Departments which only allow ftp through ssh will not allow these "partially encrypted" connections.
