Accessing Linux Desktop Remotely on Windows?

[JadeWolf324]

is there a program that allows you to access a linux desktop from within windows? kind of like RDC for windows? but like with the ability to access my linux desktop from my windows desktop? :wacko:

VM-Ware? It will allow you to use your Linux desktop from Windows. Google it.

is another option to look at....

VMware...no. That is a virtual computer.

What you are looking for, JadeWolf324, is VNC. It is a wrapper for XFree that works almost exactly like RDC for Windows. People tend to like TightVNC so you may want to check it out.

// Edit: mbrewthx, you beat me to it!

Yep... VNC is what you want JadeWolf...

Well, without spending serious cash on getting Hummingbird Exceed and being able to access your X desktop through XDMCP :)

well my question is not all that different, just it deals with how to set it up on *nix side also. i don't run *nix on workstation at school so i want to use windows to access bsd server at home remotely also.

Google "Linux Terminal Server" you'll find out http://www.ltsp.org/ , probably what your lookin for.

I think what he means is he wants to Access his Nix desktop from a windows PC, like RDP but from windows to nix....

Is there a linux pc anywhere? That would be cool

Check it out.....I may be wrong but I believe this is what you want

it has server and client components for multiple OSs.

VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software which allows you to view and interact with one computer (the "server") using a simple program (the "viewer") on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home. VNC is freely and publicly available and is in widespread active use by millions throughout industry, academia and privately.

Well.. that's exactly what VNC does...

you could always install a windows X server and use an SSH client to tunnel X11 stuff over, but most win X clients seem to cost $$

[kemical]

cygwin doesnt cost anything :\

[nicedreams]

Just a repitition on my behalf. You want VNC. VNC does what you want to do. Set the server up on your *nix box and use the client on Windows and just ssh or whatever into your linux box with it.
