remote login to Linux from Xp
 

Hi there. i am having a few linux machines so can anyone please guide me how to remote login into the linux machine from an windows xp machine.

Thank you.

You need putty. Get it here http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Documentation is available from the same site.

Thanks for the reply i will get back to u if i have any more questions...

You could also install Cygwin/X which includes the ssh client as well as an Xorg server. This would allow you to run an application remotely on the Linux machine and have the program display in a window on the Windows machine.

I like cygwin a lot better than putty. Cygwin gives a *nix environment for Windows, allowing a LOT of *nix software to run, including ssh.

4text console login: ssh
On the server side, install and setup a openssh server, and on ur client side connect it from 'PuTTY' (google it plz)

4GUI login: vnc
Install and setup a vnc server, and on ur xp client, user vnc veiwer to access ur server.

p.s. vnc has edition for free. :)
