Linux software for remote access

Asked By monica lewis 20 points N/A Posted on - 03/08/2012

I have set up a remote access for my other office. There, the machines run with Linux os. Sometimes they don't correspond to the commands I give. E.g.: exit and shut down. This has over heated the machines as well. is there any Linux software for this?

maybe openssh-server will be an answer. it is secure, fast and reliable. as client you can use default ssh client in linux. you can use putty as client for windows os.

Linux software for remote access

Hey Monica!

You can use VNC to remotely connect to a computer.

Type x0vncserver at the terminal.

You may have to install it if it's not found on your computer.

If it is found, you need to create a folder as /home/name/.vnc/vncpasswd. Type the password in the folder that you want to keep so as to connect .

Then, open terminal and then type x0vncserver -passwordfile /home/name/.vnc/vncpasswd at the terminal. Most probably it will autostart at port 5900.

Then you need to download a VNC client for windows. Most common is tight vnc which I'll recommend. Then, you need to enter the IP address of the computer running linux, followed by the port number and separated with a ":"

For example, 192.168.122.115:5900

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
