RE: VIOS Console session

Firessh used to be okish before Firefox killed it. I have a usb
thumbdrive that has Mobaxterm on it. That is what I use if I can, but I
have had to fire up chrome on a restaurants POS before and load a plugin
to get on one of my servers before. Somedays it is whatever works.

I have not yet met an SSH in the browser I didn't hate.
PUTTY I LOVE.
I have found that even customers that don't let me install apps I can

still use

Putty because it does not require installation. You can go to the

download

site and click to download then instead of save just run.

I have at other customers left putty.exe in my /home directory on IBM

i then

map a drive and run it from there. If you have the authority you can

also

export your putty keys to a file there. Double clicking that it

installs those

keys so that when you run putty all the connections and properties are
there. Awesome! Even if it all goes away when you close the desktop

it's so

simple to do it's worth it.

Here's the one drawback to 'ssh into the HMC.':
Normally this involves loading up a putty client. No big deal for
most of us, especially those in the systems admin class of people

who

need to do this stuff. However, I have this coworker... He's more

of

a systems analyst with some development. He helps me out during
downtimes. Covers a shift or so. (My instructions are extremely
detailed.) This coworker uses a virtual desktop instead of his own

PC

or laptop. The VDI group he is in does not come with a putty

client.

This is where getting to it with a web browser helps.

Now, if there's a standard client which comes with Windows 10

instead

of having to download a putty client, I'm all ears.

The paperwork with getting a new VDI group just so this guy can have

a

putty client is to the point that I want to work with them if I

could

instead of just bulling my way.
