SSH with php...

[legohead6]

Well, our school has a firewall, and currently i am just running Putty on my laptop and get around the firewall. this works great, but when my friends want to get in i have to login for them and set it up. what i am wonder is if i can somehow start a SSH connection(to the server the php is running on) with php, and then the user could connect to it in there internet explorer preferences(under proxy settings)

 

could someone tell me if this is possible? if so point me in the right direction...

i dont think php has the ability to do so. Sounds like a job for Java or JavaScript.

i have tried that, i cant get the program to actually start on the computer. i cant make anything start on the localusers computer from a php command... even if i could make a php command that opens notepad i would be happy

 

tried this

<?php
$WshShell = new COM("WScript.Shell");
$oExec = $WshShell->Run("notepad.exe", 7, false);
?>

 

and i get

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: com in ******/proxy.php on line 2
