sql server odbc: Hello!

I am trying to use the ODBC services via an SSH connection.

What is the easiest way of doing this? Are there any ready-made software out
there than I can use to connect?

Thank you!

Hi,

ODBC has no clue about SSH. What you need to do is to use an SSH client
that supports tunnelling, like Putty
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/)

You will have to read Putty's documentation to see how to setup
tunneling. Once SSH tunelling is setup, you simply put "localhost" as
the remote server name in ODBC DSN. I have this setup on my end. Here is
what I do.


Client on
Internet -> Linux machine via SSH -> MS SQL Server
