**Please** bottom post in future.
I thought I told you where to go for this information in my reply.
Perhaps I was unclear or else you didn't understand what I said. I think
upon reflection I ought to have included the information below, so
here's what should have been in my reply but wasn't. :-)

A decent ssh howto can be found in the Cobalt knowledgebase if you want
the command line method.

However, if you are looking for a package file that can be installed via
the GUI (less fun but achieves the same end result) point your browser
at:
http://pkg.nl.cobalt.com/ and scroll down to Cube2 packages

This is the best I can do. I'd hoped you would take the initiative
yourself, but anyway this should help you. Good luck and let us know how
you make out.

Regards,
-Colin
