wSSH: Configuration

All the settings can now be done using the new wSSHadmin GUI.
Besides the settings it will also show the last logging and connection stats
and it will allow you to start/stop the service.

 


Of course you still can manally set the setting in the ini files :

All global settings are defined in wSSH.ini
User defined settings will overrule the global settings.

Default it will use the following settings (in wSSH.ini) :
- Bind IP to 0.0.0.0 (all adapters)
- Deny all host connections, except from localhost (127.0.0.1)
- Deny all ssh logins, except user test (defined in the config directory)
- Deny all sftp,scp and portforward requests
- User test (password test) is granted access
