Editing Working remotely on Littledamien (section)

== SSH ==

Bitvise WinSSHD is installed on the Littledamienii server. Start-up is set to "manual".

* Remote desktop to littledamienii locally, and start the WinSSHD server through the WinSSHD Control Panel program.
* I originally installed WinSSHD to support a local Git server. I ended up not using the Git server mainly because it ended up being so much extra work having multiple repos when really the server itself is a staging environment and I can't deploy from a Git server using Git to any of the freelance sites that I maintain.
* Currently WinSSHD is set up to allow access to the entire directory structure, which of course is not very secure. This is why normally it's not even running, and the port is closed. 
* Open up the SSH port on the router. 
** After logging in go to "Virtual Server."
** Use the router's admin interface to open the port. The default port for SSH is 22. WinSSHD is not set up to use the default port. The port number can be retrieved in the WinSSHD Control Panel.
