UNIX Desktop Questions & Answers

Good day all.
I was glad to find this site. I am not new to computing as I have been in the field sense 1986 but my experience has almost all been with Windows systems. I garbed a book and managed to get a UNIX box running FreeBSD for my mail server and I'm serving 3 web sites off of two Win-98 systems and I have a block of IP's.

I have two partners in the business, One in EU and one nine states away. I am looking for a way for them to be able to access the UNIX systems here from there windows systems to admin it.

I am in the process of learning how to move the web hosting to the UNIX box so it is all in one place as I understand one can assign the different domains that are pointed to different IP's and UNIX can sort them out.

I just do not readily see the best interface for a Win-98 system to admin the UNIX box. Can you all help me out here?

ssh will give you a secure remote shell over the internet. go to openssh.org you will install the ssh server on your unix box, and run the client to connect on the windows computer. hope that helps.

For Win32 access to your Unix box running SSH you can use PuTTY. It is a free SSH client that I have used for years. PuTTY also supports SSH tunneling which is real handy.
