Make sure the user is activated on the copSSH server prior to performing this procedure.
Download and install the Tunnelier SSH client on the client desktop or laptop PC.
Open Tunnelier on the client PC and load a previously saved session or create a new session. Enter the Username and Initial method in the Authentication window and a Host address and Port number in the Server window.

Configure the On Login windows as needed if you want to automatically open either a Terminal session, SFTP session or a Remote Desktop session when the client successfully connects to the server.

Click on Help for an explanation of the Terminal tab Remote Desktop parameters. In this example I have created a custom .RDP file to access my Vista Ultimate desktop PC, which also is my copSSH server, with Remote Desktop. You can use Browse to find any custom .RDP files you create.



If you need to access additional PCs through the SSH tunnel with Remote Desktop then you must configure port forwarding for Remote Desktop in the C2S Fwding window. In this example the IP addresses are for two other PC's on the example LAN. See the Tunnelier Terminal window for Remote Desktop access configuration information for the third PC, Ashtabula. When addressing the PCs with Remote Desktop you would use the address form localhost:3391 or localhost:3392 to reach either Norman or Miami respectively through the SSH tunnel.
