Mac and PC VM/KVM
by Fermin, German 10 Nov '15

10 Nov '15

Just wanted to get thoughts from folks around here. I have to use both Mac and PC on a daily basis for my current job. My set up right now has been a KVM which I can switch quickly from my windows machine to my Mac and vice versa. My employer is going to be upgrading me but I have to decide which way I should go. Should I stay with a KVM with updated computers or get some sort of VM either on the Mac or my windows machine. I have heard good things about using fusion for windows running on the Mac. I tried using Parallels but didn't get very far Herman

Secure FTP server recommendation wanted
by Steve Matzura 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

I used to use Serv-U, but its TLS support is deprecated because the old TLS 1.2 is deprecated. I tried Filezilla server because it's free, but it can't access NAS drives, which I'm loaded with. I was thinking about WS-FTP, but that's big money, over seven hundred dollars. The new version of Serv-U, while free, is not accessible. I thought maybe ProFTPD might work, but I can't find a Windows implementation of it, and I think they do offer one. Any recommendations or suggestions most welcome.

TeraTerm and ssh Keys
by Steve Matzura 02 Nov '15

02 Nov '15

Am I missing something, or is it not possible to assign an ssh key pair to a specific system? Every time I bring up TeraTerm to log into one or another of the machines I manage, it always puts the same ssh key information in the login username field. Does TeraTerm not have a way of implementing the keyring concept? Or can I get away with putting more than one ID in one public key file on the local system where TeraTerm runs? Or, barring all of the above, is there a better Windows-based terminal program to use that manages this better? What I'd ultimately like is to have a scrollable list of username and private key combinations to pick from, and pick from them by system I want to log into. IN other words, if I say I want to log onto foo, show me only keys (usernames) for foo. I've seen and worked with terminal and ssh FTP programs that work this way, but they've been on other platforms in the past.

Trying the Code-Crafters Ability FTP Server
by Steve Matzura 01 Nov '15

I'm having an accessibility problem. How is the SSL certificate dialog activated? On the screen there's a combo box presumably to select which key pair you want to use, and if you click there with the mouse pointer, it turns into a list box. The help says a dialog is supposed to open, giving you the option to import or create a certificate, but try as I might, unless there's some secret key combination, I can't figure out how to open that dialog. Anyone can help, greatly papreciated. TIA.

I'm also considering running ProFTPD on either a Raspberry Pi or a spare big box I have lying around here. Any recommendations or suggestions most welcome.

Blind Institute of Technology and Tuliva partnership

Hi: I just wanted to pass this link on as I’m sure it will interest several others on this list. I was one of the pilot students in this program, but didn’t want to say anything until the link went public. http://www.tuliva.com/it-training/tuliva-trains-first-student-through-partn… The course I took was a MS Windows Server 2012 R2 Server course, and while I’m not looking for a certification out of this, I’m just doing a refresher, I know an accessible certification experience is on their road map.

Hello, Has anyone used Roundcube webmail with a screen reader, Jaws, Window Eyes, or NVDA? If so, how well did you get it going on top of your existing email setup? Thanks. Dave.
