Need a Remote Admin Tool for my own linux box (Linux-Linux) - mindsword - Feb 10, 2014
Hi!
I got this new linux box, and im going away, so i need something to access it with another linux laptop. Kinda like a rat only for my own use and a friend, so theres no encryption needed, cuz i dont plan on breaking any laws.
Im running lubuntu on both the station and laptop btw. My friend uses windows, is there any chance for him to get access to it?
Teamviewer sucks, way limited. I need something like cybergate, like sitting infront of the host pc, the moment its powered on.
You know? Thanks, Peace

You can install xrdp for rdp access to that machine, or vnc ?
Here is tut for xrdp :

Try TigerVNC, it should be preinstalled, if not it's easy to install. If you just want command line access, SSH is your answer.

SSH is the remote access tool of choice, it's included in nearly every *nix system I've used. (Tiny Core is one exception)

SSH into it? I see no reason why you would need to have X while your away, SSH should be satisfactory.

What about a simple TeamViewer setup?

Read the OP. Teamviewer is too limited.

Oops my fault, have you considered a vnc like others suggested? I like tightvnc myself.

You could get him to host a secure vpn on his end and connect to it then ssh into his computer to fully control it from there.
