Gitso looks perfect, cheers! I don't want access any time -- I could get blamed for things, then! 2009/3/31 Stephen Garton > > > > 2009/3/31 doug livesey > >> Hi -- I already remotely administrate a PC for my Mum & one for my Dad, >> and both are Windows machines. >> So LogMeIn.com is perfect

I'll look forwards to that, then! Cheers again, man, Doug. 2009/3/31 Ciarán Mooney > Well ssh is the easy bit! I always got confused with setting up the > "ssh tunnel" on the machine you were sitting at. > > I think I've got it now though. The actual setting up of OpenSSH and > VNC on the rem

Re: [ubuntu-uk] remote accessing an ubuntu machine (vnc or similar)

Well ssh is the easy bit! I always got confused with setting up the "ssh tunnel" on the machine you were sitting at. I think I've got it now though. The actual setting up of OpenSSH and VNC on the remote machine was easy. It's connecting to the damn things though firewalls and stuff! Ciarán On

Re: [ubuntu-uk] remote accessing an ubuntu machine (vnc or similar)

Apparently OpenSSH uses OpenSSL extensively -- that's what me book says, anyway. Probably not on any level that I'll ever need to know about, though. I use SSH at work (in a safe environment), so once I've got it set up, at least I'll be familiar with the easy bits. 2009/3/31 Ciarán Mooney > Wel

Re: [ubuntu-uk] remote accessing an ubuntu machine (vnc or similar)

Well that's lucky! I'm not sure how related OpenSSL and OpenSSH are though. To be honest don't get frustrated if you can't figure out what to do. I find it very confusing, but I've just about got my head around it. Ciarán On 3/31/09, doug livesey wrote: > Cheers for that -- I'm just doing

Cheers for that -- I'm just doing some work-related reading on OpenSSL, so that's all very synchronous! ;) 2009/3/31 Ciarán Mooney > Hi, > > Linux has had this for years. You can use both a shell login (that > gives you a "terminal" on the remote machine) or combine it with VNC. > VNC will enabl

Re: [ubuntu-uk] remote accessing an ubuntu machine (vnc or similar)

Hi, Linux has had this for years. You can use both a shell login (that gives you a "terminal" on the remote machine) or combine it with VNC. VNC will enable you to have a remote graphic desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC Have a read of thos

[ubuntu-uk] remote accessing an ubuntu machine (vnc or similar)

Hi -- I already remotely administrate a PC for my Mum & one for my Dad, and both are Windows machines. So LogMeIn.com is perfect for those. However, I am setting up an Ubuntu machine for my brother that will also require remote administration, and was wondering about the best way to set that up. Un
