Re: [tlug] SSH Tunneling basics

[Charles Muller <cmuller-lst@example.com>]

Jeesh, thanks, Stephen, for taking the time to explain the matter in 
such detail. Along with the other responses, I believe I get the 
picture fairly well.

There have been cases in the past when I *have* been able to do FTP 
and SSH from hotels, but not the last couple of times. The biggest 
problem was that the people on the help line were trained about as 
far as "connecting to the web with Internet Explorer", and were 
clueless as to why I couldn't get through via SSH, etc. In one case, 
I don't think the lady knew what SSH was.

The conference I'll be attending is Digital Humanities 2011 
(https://dh2011.stanford.edu/) which means that in my hotel I'm 
going to surrounded by people possessed of infinitely greater 
computer skills than I, so I suspect that if I have this problem 
again, I should be able to find the help I need to resolve it.

Once again, much appreciated.

Chuck
