Anyone set up SSH (secure shell) and SFTP (secure FTP) in HPUX v11.x

[Michael Miller_3]

Hi!

I work on a campus with prying little sniffer students; well, some of them are.

Some of our techs telnet in and FTP in using root accounts or go in with accounts and then su to root; yes, I know a BAD practice and it's that nasty cleartext password transfer through telnet/ftp.

Has anyone set up SecureSHell (SSH) or any variant software (ssh2, etc.)? And if so, do you have a URL or text to help explain the best way to install this?

Also, I know there are some secure FTP daemons. Can anyone help (URL/text) with this also?

Thanx mucho!

P.S. FIRST POST! haha ;>

You will also be able to get a FREE version of ssh (openssh) at:

Hi,

You can download all the SSH and SFTP clients and daemons from ftp.cs.hut.fi.

SSH 2.2.0 was released on 16/06/2000. There is also SSHWin 2.2.0 which is a SSH Windows Client that provides FREE licensing for educational institutes. It comes with the windows GUI for SFTP.

A few things to note for SSH on HP-UX 11.00. To ensure that the make compilation works, you have to add a parameter to ./configure as follows:

# ./configure --host=hppa2.0-hp-hpux11.00

For running sftp on Unix, also make sure that /usr/local/bin is in your PATH variable so that it knows where to search for the other required SSH binaries.
