Web based terminal client?

So I%26#039;m running an Ubuntu 7.10 LAMP stack with postgres as a web based application server and standard site host my school system. I have all of the internal network including the LAMP behind an IpCop firewall. I have my firewall configured to forward standard http requests on 80 to the LAMP. That%26#039;s all working fine. I can also putty in to the same machine on 21. I can then use lynx from the terminal and get to internal functions like the firewall and our pile of NASC devices. All fine and good if you want to []///////%26gt; around with putty in one window and firefox in another and whatever else needs to happen in a third.



What I would like to do make a splash page in the /var/www/whatever directory that allows be to open web based utilities that live on the far side of the firewall. Is this possible? Is there such thing as a web-based terminal client, like putty only operable within a browser? Any other way to do this? I have physical access to all the machines.



Web based terminal client?





Not sure exactly what you mean to accomplish, I run several linux servers and connect putty , keep a window open for the browser and use everything I need from one machine without any issues. What exactly are you attempting to do? if you want to easily add users, web pages, files etc to the server just add a control panel for web hosting like, web-cp http://www.web-cp.net/



or



Zervex

or



even better but more complex



WebMin

Let me know what exactly your attempting to do, if you want REMOTE DESKTOP that is a different deal entirely!



You don%26#039;t want an OPEN SPLASH page, it needs to be controlled or anyone can control your system!
