Hello, I want to configure SSH access to my server (Linux) that can be accessed via a web browser. Here's the important bit: the comms between the browser and the server must go over HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443).

I just got MindTerm up and running but, while it is a very nice SSH client that runs very nicely in a browser, it does still use port 22.

I want to be able to access my server from any web browser without opening my server's port 22 to the internet and without worrying about whether the browser's local network has 'special' ports open for outgoing traffic. Most places with web browsers will have 80 and 443 open so this is the way to go.

Ideas, suggestions, tips....
