[cobalt-users] how to secure your admin funcions using SSH



your SSH client has to be able tunnel/forward ports. I use SecureCRT
(actually paid for it), and when you setup a connection you specify
under advanced to forward port 81 on the remote server to port XXXX on
your machine. Then to log-in you put the following URL in your browser:

http://127.0.0.1:XXXX  where XXXX is the port you forwarded 81 to in the
advanced section of the setup.

Pretty painless and easy, if I could figure it out...

PS This assumes SSH is installed and running on you server...(which is
pretty easy to do, too)
