Re: LPR over SSH

[Scott Klement <midrange-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi John,

I don't see why it matters whether you are using sftp to the same location?!

The SFTP and SSH Tunnel aren't going to get mixed together if that's 
what you're worried about.  They're running in separate TCP connections, 
after all...

Just as you're able to have multiple 5250 sessions to your telnet server 
without the data getting mixed together, you're also able to have 
multiple SSH sessions to a single SSH server without the connections 
getting mixed together.  This really is a non-issue.
