Hi all, I coded a simple chat server that allows people to remotely connect to port 9999 and chat with other people who connect. It uses basic C socket code to do it. People use telnet to connect, and have to input a password at the start when creating an account. I'm wondering is there a way to use ssh instead of telnet to connect to my chat server to make the connection secure? Do I have to modify the C socket code to somehow allow people to ssh into it? Or is there another way. I have no idea how to make it secure. If anybody could help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Foo
