Topic: Access server-manager and others remotely?

[John Lewis]

I currently use the putty tunnel trick to access my server-manager page remotely

http://myezserver.com/downloads/mitel/howto/putty-howto.html

However, what do I need to do to get access to.., say ari's snort/acid page, which is restricted to the admin user.  (http://myserver/acid)

What do I need to put in on Putty to allow me remote, secure access to the acid pages?

Also, could I use this tunneling trick to securly access my IMAP mail accounts through Outlook?  What would I need to do?

Thanks.

I would expect you could do the web connection by forwarding localhost:80 to port 80 on the remote host (the SME server), and IMAP by forwarding localhost:143.  You'd then access the ACID page by going to http://localhost/acid, and use localhost as the IMAP server.

John,

You don't need any special access from putty.

You need to point to https://yourserver/acid


notice that it's https://   not http://

Ari is correct, but if you just need server manager access it can be accomplished using just PPTP.  Give the HowTo I have written a try.  Any feedback is appreciated.
