SSH to Mac using a Windows Client

I was just wondering if anyone knew of an easy (GUI) client program for a Windows XP/Vista computer to SSH into a Mac for file sharing?
Also is there a SSH client program for Windows that will broadcast the Bonjour services that are found on the host (kind of like AlmostVPN, but for a Windows client)?
Thanks
John

OK Great. I'll give it a try. Do you know if Putty supports Bonjour over SSH?
I am not sure however you could install bonjour for windows and try it out.

    If they do not sell them in your countries itunes store, then you cannot buy them.

    This is going to sound dumb but I just got a call from someone claiming to be with Microsoft Windows tech dept. Apparently something malicious attacking my computer.  I hung up because Mac doesn't use Microsoft Window Operating System - right?  I have Mac OS X.  I have loaded Microsoft Office 2011.  Can that allow something malicious or is this guy a scammer and I was right to hang up???

    Actually you can install Windows on your MBP via Bootcamp.
    You should have kept the individual on the phone for as long as you can tolerate.  The time he wastes with you is time he cannot spend scamming an innocent victim. 
    You can always politely ask the caller to hold while you 'answer the front door' or the like and just set down the phone and go about your business.  The caller will eventually hang up. 
    But your analysis was 100% correct.

  • Data corruption using a Windows client

    Hi, i have installed the MAC MINI with OS X Server Snow Leopard V10.6.8.
    My clients machines are all IMACS (all Leopards) with Parallels 6.0 installed to be able to work with my accounting software which is a Win application.
    both AFP and SMB are Services installed...
    2 problems...  first of all i noticed, the access is much slower compared to a Windows Server and i have no idea how to speed up the access to the data.
    The second problem is that quite often while using my Accounting Software the databases become corrupted and everytime we reopen the database, the software has to recuperate the data. Sometimes it takes more time up to 1 hour and sometimes a couple of seconds...
    Can we do something cause or else, no matter how much i have paid for the Mac Mini, i will put it aside and go back to my Windows server that i had before.
    I appreciate your help guys
    Thanks
    William!

  • Wired mac using Express as client for Snow base?

    Hello All,
    Is it possible to plug a non-Airport Mac into the Ethernet port of the Express and essentially use it as a client for an existing older Airport network (Snow base station)?

    No. This requires a WDS and the Snow base station doesn't support WDS.

  • Installing and using the instant client

    Hi, we are having some troubles with understanding how to use the instant client.
    We are using a windows client, connection to our Oracle database via odbc, so we can make some staticstics.
    We used to use the full oracle client 8 install, but when that gave us some troubles, so we wantedto switch to a newer release, and saw that there was an instant client. Thinking that i didnt need to install the full oracle client i downloaded the basic package and the odbc addon.
    I unzipped the two archieves in c:\oracleodbc on a clean computer.
    I added the c:\oracleodbc path to the %path%
    I added TNS_ADMIN system variable pointing to c:\oracleodbc
    i ran the odbc_install.exe program.
    I would now think that i could access the oracle database via odbc without having to install the full oracleclient, but it does not work.
    When i try to add a odbc connection in microsoft odbc manager i get the following error when i choose the oracle odbc driver:
    "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126"
    When i click ok to that i get a new error window with the title: "Driver's ConfigDSN, ConfigDriver, or ConfigTranslator failed" and the error text:
    "Could not load the setup or translator library"
    I was not planning to use any TNS files, but just use the quickconnect string, to connect to the right oracle service.
    Do i still need to install the full client for it to work or what ?
    Hope someone can help out.
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm replying to an old thread, but did any of you ever got this resolved?
    I've got a fresh Windows 2003 Server install, from which I'd need to establish an ODBC connection to an Oracle database.
    I've downloaded Instant Client Basic and ODBC add-on, unzipped them into D:\oracle\instantclient10_2\ , added the path into PATH, TNS_ADMIN and ORACLE_HOME environment variables and run the odbc_install.exe successfully.
    Trying to create an ODBC connection (System DSN) results in "The setup routines for the Oracle in instantclient10_2 ODBC driver could not be loaded due to system error code 126".
    I don't have MFC71 on the server and I couldn't figure out where to get those - I won't install MS Visual .NET just for this. MFC42 appears to be included in the OS.
    Where can I get an older version of Instant Client instead?

  • How do I configure to use X windows apps like "ssh -X" or Tk?

    I am trying to configure my machine as an X windows server so that I can use X programs remotely via "ssh -X" or run local Python scripts that use Tk. I'm currently unable to do this an am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
    I have set my DISPLAY=".0". If I run xterm in a shell I get the following error:
    $ xterm
    xterm Xt error: Can't open display: .0
    Similarly, if I run a simple Python script that tries to create a Tk app I get the following error:
    $ ./tk.py
    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "./tk.py", line 6, in ?
    root = Tk()
    File "/sw/lib/python2.4/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1569, in _init_
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
    _tkinter.TclError: this isn't a Tk applicationcouldn't connect to display ".0"
    If I try to run X-windows apps remotely via "ssh -X" it doesn't work (e.g. emacs still shows up in the terminal window).
    What do I have to do to set this up?
    Does anyone have a pointer to a detailed tutorial about setting the DISPLAY variable on UNIX. For example, one saying what the format of the value is. (You'd think this would be all over the internet, but I'm having a hard time Googling one up.)
    Thanks.
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    "ssh -X" into a remote machine still
    doesn't work though.
    Because you need to use -Y (as someone already mentioned)
    Please don't be upset at a blunt comment, but you can't get XDarwin without installing it.
    However, you mention having fink. I would guess that you used fink to install something else that needed X Windows, and fink installed XDarwin for you. It would have asked you if you wanted to install dependencies and you would have said yes. If this is what happened, it happened because you hadn't first installed the X11 user package from your installation CD.
    If it were my machine I would do the following: (1) remove any fink packages that require X windows, including XDarwin. (2) install X windows from the Apple CD. Install the X windows development package also. (3) reinstall the fink packages. fink should notice you have Apple's X Windows, and use it.
    Then, when you start up Apple's X11 (which is in the Utilities folder, as someone else mentioned), you are starting up an X server, which is what you wanted in the first place. It will bring up a xterm window or two, as did XDarwin. In one of those use ssh -Y. Not -X. Use -Y. A while back, Apple upgraded to a more recent version of ssh, and everyone who had been using -X had to change to -Y.
    You should not have to set DISPLAY. Not on the local machine, not on the remote machine. The ssh -Y command takes care of it for you on the remote machine. On the local machine it's already set for you when you start up X11. (Maybe if you run Terminal, and try to start X windows client apps from there you need to, but I never do it that way, so I can't say for sure. Some people prefer it that way.)
    What's in Apple's X11 is essentially the same as what's in XDarwin. There may be some subtle differences, but I don't know what they are. The main thing is that it's confusing to have both installed.

  • Using iChat Server with Windows clients in an integrated Active Directory/Open Directory environment

    A co-worker (Super Brent) and I were working on using iChat as an internal IM server after having used Openfire for a couple days. The reason for switching was basically that we had a Mac Mini Server that was available so we decided to take this on.
    First problem: Knowing whether or not Kerberos was needed for AD/OD integration. We spent a ton of time on this, not knowing a huge amount about AD and with our server administrator on courses, we just kept poking at it and removed Kerberos.
    For the AD/OD integration, we first bound the Mac Mini to our Active Directory server. We shut off LDAPv3 support as we only wanted to use the AD functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the search policy in Directory Utility only used Active Directory. Then we created an Open Directory master in the Open Directory service. We enabled a self-signed certificate and trusted it locally. After creating the iChat service, ensure that you use the self-signed SSL Certificate and set authentication to Standard. (no kerberos).
    Second problem: Once this was complete, we started to test clients out. We were unable to successfully login using our AD credentials using Spark IM and Pandium IM. After trying nearly 100 different variations of server configs, we decided to try a new client. I installed Miranda IM on my Windows XP machine and tried a few different setups. It turned out that the magic potion was to make sure that the "resource" field was set to "Home" and use SSL for encryption. This resource setting was the deal breaker for the other IM clients as many of them such as Spark and Pandium do not have this as a login option.
    We ended up using Pidgin IM as the Windows client of choice as it did have the resource variable and it's interface was the best suited for our environment and users.
    I hope this helps someone out there as we spent days looking all over the internet trying to figure this out.
    Cheers,
    Frenchy and Super Brent

  • Unable to use proxy server with MAC OS X Anyconnect client

    Hi All,
    I have a VPN setup thru a Cisco 5520, Windows clients connect just find and the end users configure there browser to use our internal proxy servers.   Users with the MAC OS X Anyconnect client can connect, they configure their Mac to use our proxy server, but the broswers will not work, clients can reach networks and resources behind the VPN gateway and have access to the Proxy(Tried a telnet to that hostname/port).  Anyone run into this issue before?  I am running ASA 8.3(2), Anyconnect(OS X) 3.1.01065.
    Thank You

    We had the same problem.
    We are behind government firewall so I don't know which Cisco firewall is used but we are using AnyConnect to establish VPN from internet to LAN behind firewall. We have no problems with Windows. With Mac OS X connection through proxy didn't work with Safari and Chrome (both are using system Proxy setting), but it did work with Firefox (which has it's own Proxy).
    Finally we found out that ethernet MTU size was the culprit. When we set it to manual, with size being 1347 (or less), proxy started to work.

  • How do I configure my Windows clients to talk to Mac OS X Server 10.6

    We had a MacAuthority technician install the server software for us, but he did not configure the Windows clients to talk to the server. I have tried several approaches, all evidently wrong.  Everything I have read says the Windows clients need "open directory" passwords, and he has set them up as "shadow passwords". Heaven only knows what else is messed up.  Please someone step me through this -- I will set them up as new users and see if I can make it work that way.

    What sort of a resulting configuration or environment are you seeking?
    If you're looking to have your Windows clients access storage on your OS X Server and to not authenticate with your OS X Server system, then you can dispense with some of the configuration steps.
    However if you're looking to have the same login everywhere (Windows and OS X), then requirements become somewhat more complex.
    And which version(s) of Windows?  Particularly if you have Windows 7, the options and requirements differ.
    It's less common to have Windows configured to authenticate to OS X; it's more common to use Windows Server and its Activie Directory, either in isolation or in combination with an OS X Server in what's called a "magic triangle" configuration.  Alternatively (if you do want to set up this direct authentication of Windows and OS X Server and Open Directory), then see Mac OS X Server: Alternatives to Windows NT 4.0 domain control (PDC) technology (HT4945); that uses pGina.
    And before you proceed here with any work involving authentication, delegation or related tasks, launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities folder, and issue the following non-destructive command to verify your DNS is correct:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    You'll need to specify an administrative password when prompted.  Proper local DNS services are central to getting any of this stuff to work, and this command will (non-destructively) indicate if DNS is correct or if there are issues or changes needed.
    The OS X Server 10.6 documentation is available from Apple, and that can help provide you with some background in this topic.  The 10.6 intro, 10.6 User Management, and 10.6 Open Directory would likely be worth downloading and skimming.  Probably also 10.6 File Services, if that's part of your goal.  (Running a server isn't quite as no-IT-required as might be hoped, unfortunately.  And I don't know of a short cookbook for this stuff; the steps and configurations can vary, depending on your local requirements - apologies on pointing to the docs here.)

  • Windows Client log to the Mac Os X Server ?

    Hello everybody
    I would like to create a network with Mac OS X Server. I have Windows PC's that would also be in the network.
    Does windows clients can connect to the Mac Server with a username and password ?
    Thank you.

    At the simplest, sure, Microsoft Windows clients can connect to OS X Server services with appropriate credentials.  Mail and file sharing, for instance. 
    Beyond password-based authentication, a more advanced configuration is probably not as simple nor as easy as you might want.   Windows clients really want to use Microsoft Active Directory here and Kerberos authentication probably won't get you where you want.   (This assuming that you can get the Windows clients to accept OS X Server Kerberos authentication.)  
    The usual approach for single sign-on in heterogeneous environments is the so-called Magic Triangle configuration with both Microsoft Active Directory running on a Windows Server and Open Directory running on OS X Server.   This involves the two domains communicating.  It might be easier to get OS X clients operating off Windows Server, particularly with the use of profiles in more recent versions.
    As an alternative to Windows Server, recent versions of the Samba server package include authentication services compatible with Active Directory, and you may be able to get your Windows clients to authenticate to that, and build that as part of a Magic Triangle configuration.  You'd need to download and configure the Samba server, and get the Samba AD support working.
    Related discussions and documentation here and here and maybe this thread.  There are other discussions.

  • How can I convert an outlook pst file to mac mail without using a windows based computer

    I recently bought the new iMac as my older Windows based computer crashed with a bad motherboard.  I have been trying to find a way to convert Outlook 2007 pst files to Mac Mail without the need to use a Windows based computer since all I have now is a Mac.  I have the copies of the pst files on my Mac, so I am looking for the most efficient way to convert them to the format that I can then open them in the Mac Mail.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi - thanks for the instructions but where do you get the option for Quicktime. If I do File - Export I only get the options for File name, place and size but no option that allows to select quicktime:-(
    Have you got any more tips?

  • I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.
