Title: Accessing the server console remotely.
Post by: El_Destructo on November 12, 2004, 10:16:13 PM

I'm currently using putty and I was wondering how to set it up to use a browser.

My external ip at work is 66.83.32.x

so I ssh'ed into my server and put this in the remote access settings:

network: 66.83.32.0
Subnet: 255.255.255.240

then opened a browser: http://ip address of smeserver/server-manager

but it says 'not authorized to view this page'

what gives?

You need to set up an SSH tunnel in PuTTy

source port = 980
destination = localhost:980
select 'local'
click  Add

Save the settings and open the Putty session and log in.
Open your browser and enter 'http://localhost:980' then log in to the server-manager.

This should work.  I remotely admin some servers and I put my IP address in the remote access settings and am able to get to the server-manager.  Your /28 from above, did you verify that your pc had an address in the 1-14 range?  I have never had an issue with this.

Establish a VPN connection to the server, then use a browser to connect to the server's internal LAN address for the server manager. Easy as pie. If it's a console you want, then use putty to connect to the server at its internal address.
