SSH and SFTP for free [Geek]

Okay, it is not only for geek. If you want to transfer files between servers in different domain, or between your friends or family, in secure way, SFTP is a must. The first "S" on SSH and SFTP means secure.

I used to use putty. Someone told me to try SilverSHielD.

I don't care what kind of feature it has, what I want are SSH and SFTP only.

There are Pro and free version (as always), free version only allow 3 simultaneous connections from a single client and not for commercial purpose. If you want use for commercial, you should buy Pro version, which cost US$39.95.

Anyway, SilverSHielD is free forever and k2sxs going to give you free upgrade forever! (or until the company close down or take over by some other company :P)

BleachBit: the real HDD cleaning agent

I am happy with the lightning speed of SSD however suffer at the same time with the tiny space on SSD. SSD is still super expensive compare to the conventional (magnetic) harddisk. I have the quick check on Amazon just now and found out Cricial 128GB SSD (US$146.34) is much more expensive than Seagate 750GB (US$105.65), with both are 2.5 inch.

Due to the tiny diskspace on SSD, I have always watch out the stuffs I store on this SSD, and disk cleaning is become household chores (hate it but have to do it!). However "Disk Cleanup" which come with all Windows is one heck of useless software. It can clean up some of the junk, but most of the junk still remain as it is, hiding somewhere in the harddisk.

Today I bump into BleachBit, this guy really do what it is called, bleach!



Not only Windows OS's junks, it can also clean up junks from:

• Adobe Reader
• FireFox
• Google Chrome
• IE
• Java
• MS Office
• Paint
• Silverlight
• VLC media player
• Windows explorer
• Winzip
• Wordpad
• etc, whichever it can find in your HD. (The author claimed that the list is 780+ apps for Windows)

It can also shred files, directory and free space. Shred free space is a really important things to do before sending your computer to repair shop. Because delete file and flush it in recycle bins does not really get rid of it. I have posted methods to retrieved deleted files:

BleachBit is available for Linux and Windows.And it is portable, in 56 languages.
Best of all, it is free!

How to make ubuntu easier to use?

Until today, there are a lot of people think that Linux is the GUI/interface that looks like the computer monitors within Matrix movie, everything is in codes, codes and codes. Well, that is not true anymore, for many years already. There are a lots of Linux variant out there, including ubuntu.

A website from UK is a good reference to make your experience with Ubuntu as fun as possible, introducing OMG! Ubuntu!

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk

A lot of useful information and news regarding Ubuntu in this website. The Apps section continuously update new apps or tricks and tips on apps for Ubuntu. This website is like Facebook fanpage for Ubuntu. :)

Even you are not Ubuntu user, probably it is a good source to see if you want to switch to Ubuntu.

Btw, Happy belated 20th birthday Linux!
