PHP Shell: Muscle Play
Browser-based shell access
Firewalls often block shell access for remote users on a corporate network or at an Internet cafe. Luckily, tools like PHP Shell and Shell in a Box put the shell in a browser window.
Thanks to Secure Shell (SSH), managing a server externally is quite easy, and X forwarding means you can even use graphics programs for these management tasks on your computer at home. Unfortunately, in a corporate environment or an Internet cafe, you probably won’t be allowed to install additional software, or the firewall settings will be so restrictive that nothing but HTTP/ HTTPS will get through. PHP Shell and Shell in a Box give you options for accessing your server.
