Remote Connection How to remote connect to another computer

Recommended Posts

I have a server that is running a Debian installation of Linux.I want to be able to connect to this computer somehow, and be able to execute commands on it.Reason: My computer that runs Debian is running my Counter-Strike and TeamSpeak server. I want to be able to access the computer remotely to perform server maintenance tasks.My servers are working great. The computer is on a fast line and everything.How exactly do you set up this remote connection.I need to know:What ports to forward, if any, to my server since it rests behind a router.Can I access it through another Linux core, such as RedHat Fedora Core 5 which is what I use on a day to day basis.Is it possible to connect to the Debian Server through Windows XP Professional.My server stays at my Dad's house down the street so I can easily go there and configure it for the remote hosting. If someone could provide detailed instructions on this ( I am a Linux beginner ) it would be very much appreciated.If you do a good explanation then you could probably turn it into a tutorial, which would be good points for you and at the same time help people out like me.Thanks for any input guys.

first try to ping the ip add of ur remote server.if ur able to ping it then u can connect to ur remote server through telnet or ssh.i will suggest u ssh.just type ssh <server ip add>.then if all goes well u will be asked for root password of the server.just enter the passwordand u will be on ur servers shell prompt.ssh works on tcp 23 port number.this is for accesing ur server through linux(fedora) pc.from windows u can login through telnet.if u login through telnet then u cant login directly as root.u have to login with some limited user login acount.then u can use su command to switch to the root.in both ssh and telnet u will get a command prompt.i am not sure about whether u can access ur linux machine through remote desktop connection of windows or not.if it works for u then plz let me know. i will try to find out about graphically connecting windows XP with linux.if i find out something i will update u and if u get to know the plz tell me also.

This is the kind of post I find hard to read. The sentences are too long, and there are no spaces between them or capitals (also all the u's are there). I'm only posting here as an example to clarify for the thread about grammar and punctuation.

If u want to remote login the other PC In your Network.
Then ther is a command as

ssh IP_Apddress of the system

And also a package comes in linux called VNC

install the package and enjoy the free access to other PC.

The ssh command requires the root's password of the sytem u want to remote login.

the telnet command can also be used.

telnet IP_Adress

I have a server that is running a Debian installation of Linux.

 

I want to be able to connect to this computer somehow, and be able to execute commands on it.

 

Reason: My computer that runs Debian is running my Counter-Strike and TeamSpeak server. I want to be able to access the computer remotely to perform server maintenance tasks.

 

My servers are working great. The computer is on a fast line and everything.

 

How exactly do you set up this remote connection.

 

I need to know:

What ports to forward, if any, to my server since it rests behind a router.

 

It's best to use ssh. By default ssh uses tcp protocol 22 port, so you should DNAT or forward traffic to this port.

On server side you should check if ssh daemon up and running. Simplest way to do so - sit on the server console and type ssh localhost

Can I access it through another Linux core, such as RedHat Fedora Core 5 which is what I use on a day to day basis.

 

Definitly. This is simplest method.

Is it possible to connect to the Debian Server through Windows XP Professional.

 

AFAIK XP has't ssh client, so you end up with two options: use XP telnet client (not recommended for security reason), or download some third party ssh client (Putty is most known free one).

My server stays at my Dad's house down the street so I can easily go there and configure it for the remote hosting. If someone could provide detailed instructions on this ( I am a Linux beginner ) it would be very much appreciated.

 

I'am not a debian guru. AFAIK:

apt get sshd

chkconfig --add sshd

/etc/init.d/sshd start

If you do a good explanation then you could probably turn it into a tutorial, which would be good points for you and at the same time help people out like me.

 

Thanks for any input guys.
