scp is not supported, though, but it may be possible to tunnel HTTP
or ftp through a secure port. This seems to work with
wsftp32. To use this, in ssh config select
Local Forwards and tunnel local port 8021 to remote port 21 (using remote host). In wsftp32 connect config, select advanced, select
port 8021, and check Passive Transfers, then save the profile. Voila, you can
now ftp to a Unix box without your data & password going in clear!
For Mac, see NiftyTelnet 1.1 SSH ( Jonas Walldén) or BetterTelnet which may support RSA legally for US users.
X-11: MIT cookie-based X-11 forwarding seems to be broken in StarNet X-Win; however, adding the local computer name to the allowed X-hosts list may allow encrypted X-11 to work with ssh.
To copy a file: scp myname@alph04.triumf.ca:/path/file .
To copy several files: scp 'myname@alph04.triumf.ca:/path/*' . (use quotes to protect wildcards).
To open an xterm and tunnel IMAP:
xterm -sb -T Alph04 -e ssh -l myname -L 8143:localhost:143 alph04.triumf.ca &
(connect to IMAPD on localhost:8143 - avoids sending password in clear. May work for POPD.
In .pinerc can say e.g. wwwT {localhost:8143}/home/myname/mail/www-talk)
