[quote=175823:@Christian Schmitz]Why not take a ServerSocket accepting connections and giving them to SSLSockets?
What does the other side want?
HTTPS POST like more web services?
You could accept that with a web app easily.[/quote]
I don’t want a web app. I want a command line interface. Anyhow, Tim Hare’s approach is the one to use. There’s a lot of SSL servers out there. So use that for secure access into the PC/Mac. From there, the user can simply telnet into my app. My app could be set to listen on the loopback interface which would basically take it being an active telnet server off any network.
