If any of you can write a full, explicit manual for how to use engines via ssh in Win 10, it would be a great service to the chess playing community. Without revealing names I know at least a couple of GMs who would be very interested in such information.
Well, I am no Windows user, so out of the game, but I think the main point are
dynamic IP addresses, these change with common internet accounts every 24 hours
or so, so you have to change your ssh connection strings too. A workaround is
dyndns, to use an service that translates an fix URL to your changin IP address,
i saw already some home routers with built in dyndns support.
Beside the changing IP address and setting up an ssh engine in the GUI, it
should be straight forward.
1. set up an ssh server with user access to the chess engine
2. call engine via ssh client command
Like Daniel mentioned, you should use pub/private keys to authenticate the
client to the server, imo additional to an password.
If you grant other people access, you should limit the shh access to the chess
engine only.
I guess ChessBase offers an solution for all above via their Engine Cloud?
