How to remotely access a Windows machine (Remote Desktop) #14

[experimental0000]

in terminal server client when it has user name and password. could you enter the username and password of the remoted machine and have it login to it without you logging in on the remote machine when it opens on your linux device?

Use mingle view.....zero configuration even absolutely free

Thanks for the information it was very informal!

[mazenashkar]

is there a way u can connect over the internet to another computer? if yes can u please explain how?

[sTOMPZ123]

Nice tutorial ;-)

One question: Is it possible to print from the Windoes machine to a printer connected to the ubuntu PC?

[09cooper]

Great, this works perfect

The only problem was provoked by the firewall of Windows

[Xe054]

This is a great tip. Is it secure to setup a remote desktop?

Oh, and can you transfer a file from the local desktop to the remote? (the opposite of what you did)

[Sanket27]

The terminal server client works but the thing is it forces the remote machine( which is xp in my case) to log off , allowing to know that the computer is being remotely administered .

[StormBringer44]

The question is, will this work over internet or just within the same network? THanks

[Felipecabesas]

Great, but doesn't Configuration of Ports in the Router cause problems some times?

[amzertech]

@Felipecabesas Yes and you have to make sure the appropriate ports are open if you encounter problems with it.

[Koman92040]

@Felipecabesas The windows machine should be given a "static IP". Then on your router configure port 3389 both TCP & UDP to the static ip of that computer. Then use the public ip to connect form outside the network.

Thanx great vedio. One question though... Is there a way to access the desktop of whoever is logged directly instead of me logging in a different session?

[sneekylinux]

nice one, i may even use this as i don't like going out in the cold to do clients ms machines..lol but you do lose the personal touch if we go this route.

nice vid though mate..(no urban dictionary tonight)

Hi, may I know what version of ubuntu that you're using in this tutorial? and how did you put the Apple Mac's theme on it?

[amzertech]

I was using Ubuntu 9.04 64bit on this video. The theme is one of the default Ubuntu themes except for the icons. Sorry I forgot what the icons package was called.

[Futeki360]

I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 too and I got it from their official website and it doesn't contain the Apple Mac theme & effects. I'd be appreciated if you provide me the theme (link or other method).

Anyway, does the terminal client server (aka Remote Desktop in Windows) supports the Internet approch other than local approach? if it does, then how?

I believe the one on this tutorial video is a local network.

[patinatormariotis]

can i do it over wireless.....mine is not working i click connect and the terminal....just dissapears!...pls help...cool videos by the way....ubuntu ROCKs

[amzertech]

Yes you can do it over wireless. That's exactly what I did in this Screen-cast. Try reinstalling the program and make sure it has all the dependencies it needs.  Let me know if you are still having trouble with it.

Great Tutorial and it works fine I can now take over Wifey's pc mwaa haa haa

 lol just kidding

[virtualdefense]

when you access the windows machine , if someone is working there he will be forced to log out without warning .and he will be pissed off :)

[amzertech]

yeah, but they wont loose anything because they can log back in and finish what they are doing. :) I'm pretty sure there's a way to make so that the user logged in at the time would get a message saying that you are trying to log in and he would have the control to either allow it or not. I'll have to look and see.

[frvfilms]

[mpyle6]
