[hobbit] Telnet/ssh from Hobbit Display

14 Jan 2006


      I just found this:
http://p3m.org/wiki?Firefox
which says that you can set up some user pref entries in Firefox to
handle new protocols, so I went to the "about:config" page and created
these entries:
one "string" type:
  network.protocol-handler.app.ssh
with the path to a script as it's value:
  /usr/local/bin/fox
three boolean types, set "true", true" & "false" respectively:
  network.protocol-handler.expose.ssh
  network.protocol-handler.external.ssh
  network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ssh
A test page contains this link:
<A href="ssh:10.10.10.10">My Server</a>
and the /usr/local/bin/fox script contains this:
#!/bin/ksh
OFS="$IFS"
IFS=":"
set $1
PROTO=$1
URI=$2
IFS="$OFS"
if [ "$PROTO" = "ssh" ]; then
exec /usr/bin/xterm -e ssh $URI
fi
Obviously the script could do with some data validation - this was
just for proof-of-concept.  The arg handed to the script is the whole
uri including the protocol, so it could handle multiple protocols.
Anyway, when I click on the link, a new xterm window pops up with a
ssh session to my server.  I suppose if your desktop is running
Windows, the script would need to fire up putty.exe or something
similar.

It seems to work OK with Firefox-1.0.7 in Gentoo Linux.

Hello Listers,
I am wonder if its possible in Hobbit to establish a telnet/ssh session to a
host that's being monitored from the Display? If it can be done, how do I go
about doing it?
I have read about adding html tags in the header/footer files on the BB
archives which comes close to what I want but did not explain further. I did
not find anything in Deadcat. Google is great but there's way too hits to
sift through.
My goal is to connect to an old device via telnet/ssh from a link in Hobbit.
I realize telnet is taboo but the device is/can be isolated from outside
connections (managed IP's). Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Hi
there are Java SSH clients, like : http://www.netspace.org/ssh/
