Browser-based shell access

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.
