Sshwifty is a command-line tool that allows you to tunnel through firewalls and proxies with ease. In this tutorial, we will be walking you through the steps required to install Sshwifty on Windows 11.
To begin, we need to have Git installed on our system. Git is a version control system that allows you to access and manage software repositories. You can download Git from https://git-scm.com/download/win.
Next, we need to install Python on our system. Python is a programming language that comes with a variety of libraries and frameworks that make it easy to work with Sshwifty. You can download Python from https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/.
After installing Git and Python, we can now clone the Sshwifty repository. To do this, open the command prompt and run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/nirui/sshwifty.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the cloned directory and install the required packages by running the following command:
pip install -r requirements.txt
Before running Sshwifty, we need to set up a configuration file. This file specifies the host to connect to, username, and password. A sample configuration file config.yaml.sample is provided in the cloned directory. Make a copy of this file by using the following command:
cp config.yaml.sample config.yaml
Update the values with your respective host details.
With all the above steps completed, we can now use Sshwifty by running the following command:
python sshwifty.py
Sshwifty will establish an SSH connection according to the configuration specified in config.yaml.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Sshwifty on Windows 11. With Sshwifty, you can easily connect to remote hosts through firewalls and proxies. We hope you found this tutorial useful. Happy coding!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
