Hi All, I am wanting to log-in remotely from my university campus to my home machine connected behind a router. In the previous thread, answered by Thad (thanks for this), I learnt that port-forwarded needs to be enabled on the router ... done :-) Now, my only problem is how to use ssh is such a way that it will accept a username and password in order to authenticate myself to get through my universities proxy server. I am guessing something of the like: ssh --http-username=tony --http-password=***** tony@my-modem-ip-address I had a look through the ssh man page but didn't see anything that stuck out. So my guess was then that a global proxy username and password file may need to be created ... or something of the like. Was wondering if someone might be able to shed some light on this for me please. Cheers, Tony Crouch -- GPG Key fingerprint = EEB2 6364 791C 3BE2 A008 22D0 C469 950C 7C5A EE77
