Remote login via NT5?


I run this standalone server and it would be soooooo convienient to just login to a secure shell and start going away at it. I have only one mouse and keyboard that I can readily work with. I know it's not as secure, but what the heck. It's a private server anyways, and only online for moments.

So back to the point ... how would I be able to setup my RH9 server for remote logins and have an NT5 (win XP) machine login to it? It would also be cool to be able to login over the internet, but only on rare occasions of coarse.

Thanks!

Enable the ssh daemon on your Linux box and have it load automatically on boot. This will allow you to always be able to log in to it. An excellent Windows ssh client is PuTTY - free and also feature packed.

If you want to have a lot of fun, install Cygwin on your XP box - don't forget the XFree86 part - and enable X11 forwarding in the sshd_config on your Linux server. Then you can log in using ssh -X username@hostname (where username is your Linux username and hostname the name of the Linux box) and start X applications that will show on your Windows desktop.

I can't login to the server. I added sshd:tcp to the firewall, and was even able to login using ssh 127.0.0.1, but I'm not able to connect using putty. What am I doing wrong?

BTW - I added the sshd into the firewall via setup, and put "proftpd:tcp sshd:tcp" into the customize part. Should I use a comma instead of a space or something?

try 22:tcp , that's the right number for the sshd port.

whoa, I figured it out, w00t

secure shells rock. I gotta go through the procedure to get a ssh from aplus.net too (my webhosting domain, they allow it!)

now I can work on my server without even touching my RH9 box. This pwns ... no more cable switching ...

Thanks all!
