can anyone recommend free secure shell hosts on the internet. googled but didn't understand results i was getting. hope the community can help me with something quality. thanks
i want to be able to use a bash shell while working from anywhere. although I have a linux system on my laptop, but I think i am the only one, so i want to be able to use a bash shell even from a windows computer from a public facility or a friend's computer, that is what prompted the question in the first place. I need a service that can give me that facility. I know that if i was in an academic environment i might have to apply for one, but i know i can get such a facility even outside an academic env. thanks. I have already downloaded the PUTTY software; openssh does not have a binary for a windows system. yet!I think you're not understanding what secure shell is. SSH (Secure SHell) is a method of remote login. Telnet is also a remote login, but it's not encrypted (therefore ssh is massively preferred).
If you're looking for an SSH client/server program, I strongly suggest to get OpenSSH. It's usually prepackaged with a lot of distros, and if it isn't, it's very very likely it exists in your distro's repository.
Interpreting what you said the best I can, if you're looking for a cloud server/general hosting server (not free) I recommend Amazon for cloud, and google around for server services (ie remote hosted webserver).
Other than that, please clarify what you're asking.
you didn't understand me. i already have a ssh client. i have googled for a ssh server (wonder if that is the right word) or ssh host where i can send queries to and receive responses that runs on linux so i can work with the xterm on the remote machine from a windows computer since 99% of the computers around me are windows based. i need it for exercises and class work now and in the future. wish i can get something free online or close to that.Next time ask for a.ssh client. May be many people can understand. Bye

You are not alone! I wiped my laptop clean and installed Fedora Linux immediately after I bought it several years ago.... I have a linux system on my laptop, but I think i am the only one, ...
