I am trying to use Shell In A Box which implements a web server that can export arbitrary command line tools to a web based terminal emulator. This emulator is accessible to any JavaScript and CSS enabled web browser and does not require any additional browser plugins.
I am going through this GitHub repository to implement it.
When I run the shellinaboxd executable in terminal using
shellinaboxd --port 4201 and open the I get asked for login.
But when I type my name and hit enter I see Session Closed.
My /etc/default/shellinabox file looks like below :
# Should shellinaboxd start automatically SHELLINABOX_DAEMON_START=1 # TCP port that shellinboxd's webserver listens on SHELLINABOX_PORT=4200 # Parameters that are managed by the system and usually should not need # changing: # SHELLINABOX_DATADIR=/var/lib/shellinabox # SHELLINABOX_USER=shellinabox # SHELLINABOX_GROUP=shellinabox # Any optional arguments (e.g. extra service definitions). Make sure # that that argument is quoted. # SHELLINABOX_ARGS="--o-beep" SHELLINABOX_ARGS="--disable-ssl-menu --service=/:LOGIN --no-beep --linkify=none --css=/etc/shellinabox/termstyle.css" I tried the following too but it did not work:
My /etc/hosts file is as below:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 abhishek-Latitude-3480 # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters If anyone have used shellinabox or can guide me with its usage will be a big help.

Edit the /etc/default/shellinabox file using:
sudo vi /etc/default/shellinabox and change the last line as:
--service=/:SSH:{remote_host}:{SSH_port} Problem is solved!!!
