Guest Laura Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Do users get telnet access to the servers? I'm highly interested in your webhosting packages, but I'd really like to be able to telnet in when I need to debug perl scripts, ect. Thanks for your help. =) Quote
Guest Laura (again) Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Er, sorry, I just ran a search on the forum for telnet and found the answer to my question. Thanks anyways! =) Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 No, for security reasons, we do not offer any telnet access. You may, however, request SSH access. It does have some requirements (including a setup fee). You can read more about it on this forum....just a sec and I'll get you the link. Lianna Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 We posted at the exact same time! Anyway, for future readers of this post, here's the link for more info about SSH access policy. Lianna Quote
alexfung Posted May 5, 2003 Posted May 5, 2003 There is no way I know of to create a symbolic link without using telnet/ssh. I understand that telnet and ssh are potentially dangerous and should be restricted. Yet, I hope TCH can provide a method for us to manage symbolic links. Quote

See this discussion for a CGI script to make a symlink: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/i...f=22&t=1362&hl= You can use a CGI or PHP to do most anything on Unix/Linux that you might normally do via telnet/SSH. Having SSH access on top of full CGI/PHP access doesn't significantly increase what is possible; it only makes what is already possible easier. Quote
