Remote in to Linux


I used Remote Desktop a lot back with Windows and was wondering if FC2 has this feature?

I know I had to foward port 3389 to that particular pc I wanted to access in my firewall/router.

Can someone tell me how I can access my Linux machine remotely and what port I need to foward for that to work?

There are several ways to do it. Check out VNC.

Here's what I'd recommend....if you want text, use ssh (I had asked the same question myself a day or two ago), for graphical use VNC. BUT, in order to set up VNC you'll have to do it in text mode. So, I say it's best to have both.

Just go to terminal, type in:

ssh username@host

This is assuming you've set up that server as a host. It will work with the IP too if you haven't set the host yet.

Once there, you can set up vncserver (just type in vncserver and follow the prompts basically).

EDIT: I think VNC has xterm too or something like that.
