Have you ever wanted SSH or telnet access to your system from an “internet desert” - from behind a strict firewall, from an internet cafe, or even from a mobile phone? Anyterm is a combination of a web page and a web server module that provides this access - see the demos.
Anyterm can use almost any web browser and even works through firewalls. If you join my.anyterm.org you can access your systems straight away via our server with no software to install anywhere. Alternatively, you can run the Anyterm software on your own system - see the deployment examples.
Anyterm consists of some Javascript on a web page, an XmlHttpRequest channel on standard ports back to the server, and an Apache module. The module uses a pseudo-terminal to communicate with a shell or other application, and includes terminal emulation. Key presses are picked up by the Javscript which sends them to the Apache module; changes to the emulated screen are sent from the module to the Javascript which updates its display. Performance is quite reasonable and SSL can be used to secure the connection.
