Hi,

My company has web server (linux OS + tomcat web application) being
installed inside its own DMZ. Now we configured one windows based SSH
software to access that server. That's inconvenient for our operators
as no automation can be done e.g. run script through the SSH to
retrieve log files from server at scheduled time.

I found some commercial linux based SSH software like 'SSH Secure
Shell version 3.2' available. I would like to ask if I use software of
this kind for setting SSH connection, besides installing software at
client PC side, what extract software need to be installed at the web
server ? Any extra configuration needed ? I have visited the site
ssh.com but regretfully I couldn't find answer from their FAQ pages.

Tks!
