[AuckLUG] Funky ways of getting where you want with SSH

Hi all,

Recently work has blocked anything not on a standard http / ftp (Prolly 
https and one or two other things) from getting out through the proxy.

I know that Webmin has a java-based client that allows you to connect to 
the local box its running on remotely, however this seems to be broken, 
although the non-interactive prompt that allows you to simply submit 
bash commands seems to work (But this is useless if I wanna use 
something like nano).

Anyways, basically port 22 is out of the question, and even if I host 
ssh on port 80 it still doesnt seem to like it but PuTTY was giving me a 
different error message.

Is there any client out there which would initiate the connection from 
the web server that the client is running from? Perhaps a Java client?

I understand all the work ethics, yadda yadda, just wanting to know if 
its actually possible.

Cheers all


Chill.
