I've got a user asking about SSH access. There is very limited information
on the wikipedia about SSH and its use.

I know SSH is enabled, so if a user does their thing and I give them a port number, are they able to make use of SSH with Mystic?

I've got a Win-10, 64 bit system.

Yes. The only difference over telnet (aside from the encryption) is that the user won't see the prelogin screen since they will be doing their user authentication as part of the SSH protocol handshake instead of through the BBS' login prompt.

OK, thanks for the information.

Sounds like I need to double check some router information.

In a word, yes. They just need to ssh to user@yourbbs.com using their SSH client (I like SyncTerm for SSH BBSs).
