WebSSH

• The virtual machines are also accessible via WebSSH

• This can be useful if:

  • you can't install an SSH client on your machine

  • SSH connections are blocked (by firewall or local policy)

• To use WebSSH, connect to the IP address of the remote VM on port 1080

  (each machine runs a WebSSH server)

• Then provide the login and password indicated on your card

Good to know

• WebSSH uses WebSocket

• If you're having connections issues, try to disable your HTTP proxy

  (many HTTP proxies can't handle WebSocket properly)

• Most keyboard shortcuts should work, except Ctrl-W

  (as it is hardwired by the browser to "close this tab")
