| An UbuntuLinux Server running Moodle...I'm accessing it via iSSH on my iPad 3rd gen |
OpenSSH (OpenBSD Secure Shell) is a set of computer programs providing encrypted communication sessions over a computer network using the SSH protocol. It was created as an open source alternative to the proprietary Secure Shell software suite offered by SSH Communications Security. (Source: Wikipedia)After some quick googling, I stumbled across ZingerSoft's ISSH iPad app, which offered the opportunity to do just that. Some of the features:
- Launch new connections or close existing ones from within the terminal
- Optional split screen in portrait mode
- Has the option to adjust the terminal size by fit or a standard number of columns
- Assign any active connection to any split screen window
- X Server/VNC mousepad widget has a user-adjustable location
- X Server/VNC view has a "chromeless" option
Apparently, ISSH is pretty popular:
A full-featured SSH and Telnet emulator of VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, and xterm terminals integrated with a tunneled VNC client, RDP client and an X server.As you can see from the screenshot above, it's pretty easy to add a new server configuration...and, here's what that screen looks like:
Great stuff...controlling an UbuntuLinux server from an iPad. It's blasphemy!

You left out the VPN with various vendor permutations some of which are not supported for the iPAD. (Thusly, even though you could SSH from your iPad "you can't get there from here" via VPN).
