If you want a "command prompt" on the other end, why not just run sshd or telnetd on your favorite port on the "other end" ?
Now, if you want nc to tunnel over SSH, that can be arranged too. You need to connect using ssh to the other end and setup port forwarding within SSH which can be used by nc to do whatever you want to. rkt -----Original Message----- From: Susan Chan Lee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 28, 2002 12:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Netcat (NC) Secure Remote Connections via authenication Hi All Does anyone know how to set-up a secure remote connection using netcat, in that one which uses authenication or port filtering (without the need to install any other wrapper software). I have a requirement were I need to connect to a remote machine and get a command prompt. We all know how to do this via netcat by setting up a listening port. My concern is that I do not want to leave the port open for anyone to connect. It would be great if when someone connects authenication is required, hence in effect all I need is to connect to a remote machine, get prompted for a password and then get a command prompt, if netcat cannot do this, does anyone know any other peice of software (not NetBIOS or SMB)?
