 Posted: Fri, 7th Jul 2006 20:51 Post subject: Remote Desktop with Linux - Encryption - Securing |
|
 |
Hello, In the past I have used windows to windows over the internet and locally using RealVNC Server and Real VNC Viewer, Now I have moved to the wonderful world of *nix and would like to connect to a machine over the internet using encryption to make it secure (as secure as possible)
Now i would be connecting to the machine which would be UBuntu 6.06 using UBuntu 6.06 and windows realvnc viewer
LOcally I can connect fine using remote desktop built into ubuntu and using vncviewer built into ubuntu now this works fine locally and doesnt really need to be encrypted as its local?
THis also works over the internet forwarding port 5900 but I do not feel secure doing this all in clear text with no encryption applied at all, I have tried to instal realvnc linux version but the server just says aborted after every command in the console, the vncviewer in this works though, also tried FreeNX but it just sayed killed by signal 15.
COuld you please help me securing a connection over the net, I have installed open ssh on the nix box and used putty to connect over the net but this is obviously command line and i want a full GUI
Thanks again

At work i'm using Hummingbird Exceed to connect to all the *nix machines, besides ssh, it works quite well.

There is a client version and a server version? How would I go about setting this up.
Server on Linux - Ubuntu 6.06
Workstation - Ubuntu 6.06/Windows XP
Can you point me in the right direction
Thanks

You just install the X Server on your Windows machine, configure the server and connect to your unix machines. Configuration wasn't that easy if i remember correctly, but it comes with a good manual. You also may need to configure your firewalls if you use any. I connect to the unix machines through putty with x11 forwarding enabled within putty. And i have configured the Exceed server to only allow connections from localhost, so no one else can connect to my windows pc.

you should try compressed vnc

it's a real time saver
apparently supports SSH on linux aswell
just pick unstable.. it works fine.. the stable is ancient.. kinda like ffdshow that way.. damn lazy opensource people

Use Putty for just command line, or use putty + Hummingbird Exceed if you want a gui, remember to enable X11 Forwarding in Putty if you do this.
