If you need to administer a remote server but don't feel like installing a complete, complex application like Webmin, try Web Console, a modern, over-the-Web, AJAX-based solution that's easy to configure and use. The GPL-licensed Web Console lets remote users access a shell and execute any commands -- subject to their rights, of course. You can also use the Web interface to upload or download files to or from the server, edit files there, and back up and restore files or databases. In other words, you can do any task you could do if you were sitting in front of the server itself. Other interesting features include a simple installation process (which doesn't even require root permission), secure connection using HTTPS, and quick refreshes using AJAX technology, for a user experience that closely matches an actual console.
