can anyone do me a big favor (ssh in a browser)

extendedping · 05-09-2010, 10:36 AM

well, I have done quite a bit of research and if I get an ereader it is the kindle 2. the reason for getting an ereader for me is to continue learning technology and I just can't lug around tech books anymore. I was hoping I would find more info somewhere on the net on how to hack ssh onto the kindle 2 so I could use my home linux pc remotely to keep learning but to no avail. but I did come across this site https://gotossh.com/ which allows you to do ssh from within your browser window. I also read about ajaxterm, and am going to attempt to set it up on my ubuntu box. so here is the big favor. the gotossh site allows free accounts that limit ssh to one box and only for 2 minutes. really want to know if this will work through the kindle browser but I don't know anyone who owns a kindle to test it. if it did work (says it will work with any java enabled browser) I would then jump on the kindle (not literally) as I could have my text books and be able to do practical exercises from anywhere. so if anyone cares to try please let me know the result. I am making the assumption that they are using the ajaxterm for their service and that if it works then it will work for direct ssh into my ubuntu box.

thanks and I do of course understand if nobody decides to test this.

I've created an account and tried to connect to a server from my Kindle DX, but wasn't able to give my login and password to the server as the layout of the paged was messed up. The kindle browser is quite limited in capability.

I say forget about it.

thanks for trying, I guess on the regular kindle it would be really hopeless then.

I will still probably get the kindle and try to setup the ajaxterm on my home box, perhaps that page will be cleaner. anyway, I really do appreciate the effort.

well I ordered it so I will report back if I can get it to work doing ssh in a browser to my home linux pc using ajaxterm.

I am very excited I love the thought of having basically unlimited information and a browser (though I know it is primitive) in my pocket (well almost in a pocket right).

I am really excited at the prospect of having ssh (through a browser) with unlimited free internet..
