[CLUE-Tech] remote login or telnet as root

[Grant Johnson]

When trying to do SSH from a handicapped machine, I reccomend PuTTY.  You 
can find it through freessh.org.  Also CYGWin comes with SSH, which is 
cool, but it seems to not handle of the screen color stuff as well as 
PuTTY, and it is a much bigger install.

On the issue of secure FTP: Both the site I got PuTTY from, and CYGWin have 
an SCP client.  I installes OpenSSH on my home machine, and accidentally 
installed SCP as well in the process.  (I don't know.  I tried to connect, 
and it worked....)  SCP is cool in that it does a better job of copying 
groups of files than FTP, and it is more easily scriptable, but it is not 
like FTP in that you do not set up a connection and traverse directories 
and do listings.  You tell it which files to copy to where (remote or 
local) and it does, then you tell it again, and it does again.

To install OpenSSH, you need zlib, OpenSSL, and OpenSSH.  Do a make and a 
make install on each in that order, and it works.  Then just setup a 
startup script for sshd, and you are going.
