General :: Accessing A Windows Box Via VNC Through A Debian Server Via SSH?
Aug 25, 2009
I am using XP at work. I want to get to my home XP box. I have been using VNCTight with port forwarding from my router to get to my home box. I have a Debian server I use just for SSH (no graphics). I would like to open a SSH tunnel to my Debian box, then open a VNC connection that will go through the ssh and then be forwarded to my home XP box. This way everything from my work computer (or wireless laptop) will be secure to my internal network. I know that I can buy software, but that is not as fun and I wont be learning anything that way.
I'm on a network where everyone is using Windows except me. Now I have this problem that the mail server is on a windows host mailserv.company.local and the only way I can access this host is through samba: smb://mailserv.company.local but how do I set my machine to receive mail from this server?
I was looking for:how to access my Linux machine(OpenSuse 11.3) that is being hosted at my hoster company from my home Win Pc, I found TightVNC , but I am confused, should I install it on both systems ( viewer and server) ? .. what about the VirtualBox , can i Access with that tool or it is only for mounting the local Virtual Machines?
as we know in windows xp drive and folder permissions, we perform (folder-right click-properties-security tab-we check, group or user and assign ALLOW or DENY access to the folders) In the same way i want to DENY access to my windows driver sda1 & sda2 from the Debian OS. my system is being used by 3 users: user1, user2 & user3. All can access to all Volumes, so I want to Deny the users 2 & 3 from accessing my windows driver and folders. BUT i alone user 1 should have permission to access them. How do i change that in Debian 5.5? Allow/Deny Permissions to Volumes.
I tried out the vino vnc server and connected to it through windows vnc viewer but It seems to lag really badly. I am connecting through a 100mb connection. I would like to try out the vnc4server but I can't find a good tutorial on setting it up where I can login to my system from gdm. Somebody please either point me to the best solution or a good tuturial.
I have server with Debian and Apache installed. Webpage content located in /var/www folder. For failserver I have Windows server 2003, which runs Mysql service thats needed for library software. And on this machine theres Inetpub/wwwroot with library webcontent. Sofar its only accessible localy. How can make Apche webserver to take content from this local server machine and show it publicly.
I have a Ubuntu hosting a Windows XP box (using VirtualBox). The Windows XP box is connected to work using Check Point VPN-1. Essentially this enables me to go to my Windows box and do something like ping comp-at-work and it just works.
I would like to access the VPN resources from the Linux host though. The Windows guest is only there because the VPN client isn't working in Linux. If I could somehow ssh from the Linux host right into my computer at work (using remote desktop would also be great), that would save me a lot of round trips between my Linux host and the Windows guest.
1.) I have several versions of ubuntu installed on my computer. Technically, all but one are incomplete installs which I would like to delete if possible?
2.) I would like to access my files from the Windows partition, but it doesn't show up under "system." Is it for some reason impossible to access Windows files?
3.) My computer's performance has dipped substantially in the last two days. I am trying to figure out why this is, if there is a task manager or the like or a performance diagnosis tool. Also, my computer does not have an anti-virus program, that might also be the cause of the poor system performance.
I've used mod_rewrite to rewrite my apache2 root (my.server.com/) to point to /var/www/drupal6/ instead of /var/www/. I also have a script installed in my cgi-bin (/usr/lib/cgi-bin) but since the rewrite I can't seem to access it. When I go to my.server.come/cgi-bin/test.pl, I get a page not found from my drupal.
Is there a way I can access my cgi-bin without resorting to accessing my drupal through my.server.com/drupal6/?
Background: I have installed drupal CMS which has a base address of my.server.com/drupal6/ as it resided in /var/www/drupal6/. However I wanted users to be able to access it as my.server.com/ so I added the following into my httpd.conf
Code: NameVirtualHost *:80 <Directory /var/www/drupal6> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /
Is it possible to access windows network printers from a VirtualBox WindowsXP client running under Ubuntu 10.10 host? The networking type is NAT. Would Bridged Networking solve the problem? If so, is there a tutorial on how to set up bridged networking for virutual box?
I have successfully installed "LAMP" and can get to my web server by typing 10.0.2.15. How can I make it so that when I type in my domain name it brings up my web server?
I have developed a website. Now i would like to monitor the IP address of machines who are accessing the server. The simplest possible solution to this that comes first into my mind is to use jsp inbuilt tags.
Is it possible to have a user in Ubuntu/Debian that does not have access to synaptic, apt-get, dpkg and cannot even download anything from the Web, but has root privileges otherwise?
I am using ubuntu 10.04 and I want to access remote machine having windows xp/7 installed on it. I don't want GUI of it but I want it's command prompt to be opened in my machine so that I can execute various commands on remote machine. Is there any application available for it? I tried using "rdesktop" but it gives gui and I want command prompt. Also I tried using "winexe" but its giving various errors of NT_STATUS.
I dual boot Ubuntu 10.4 and Windows 7 (actually, just installed the Win7 a few hours ago.
I like that I can access the Windows 7 partition from Ubuntu, but not the other way around. I found links for several file explorers, but is there any way to install an extension for the standard Windows Explorer that can open EXT3 partitions (and the files therein) as if they were NTFS?
Most of the links I found refer to custom file explorers. I only want to use one file explorer, not switch between two different ones depending on which partition I want to open. Also, if I use a custom file explorer, how will dialogs like "Save as..." be able to handle saving directly to EXT3?
I was able to easily do so when trying Ubuntu out on the Live CD,ut now that I've installed Ubuntu as a windows program and am inside it, I can't seem to find access to my old Windows files. How do I access them
I'm a windows 7 user and i intalled ubuntu recently using wubi executable installer, after some time i installed vmware player in windows. can anyone help me access my ubuntu in the vmware player in windows. all the articles i've read are about running a new installation in vmware player, but i already have ubuntu installed on my machine
I am running openSUSE 11.3 KDE on my computer, which I have the printer and scanner attached to, all in working order;I would like to know how I can get my girlfriend's Windows 7 Laptop to be able to access that hardware on her computer (without having the need to change to USB plugs back and forth) - both our computers are on the SAME router so I am hoping that we can 'network'(?) the two computers despite the OSes are quite different.
i have 3 ubuntu machines running 9.10. All of them are running SMB so that the Windows machines can access the shares on the Ubuntu machines, but the ubuntu machines can not access shares on the Windows machines. When I click to connect to a windows machine ( all of them running XP), it says "connecting to COMPUTERNAME.." It never opens the computer, and it always comes back with an error saying that it failed to connect. I haven't been using ubuntu for very long, so im not as savvy with it as I am on windows. All windows machines can see all ubuntu shares, just not the other way around and I'd like it to be both.
I am trying to access the files and directories that are on my Ubuntu 10.10 computer from my Windows 7 computer. Both are connected to the same wireless router. I have installed and uninstalled Samba and rebooted both computers several times.
I have installed debian on my laptop and included during the installation the webserver version. Now I want to develop a page locally to test it before I put it on the web. I first had an old reflex, jumping straight away and installing xampp. But then I thought that I already all that it takes as I installed the webserver feature of debian. I installed phpmyadmin ( with the command #apt-get install phpmyadmin) as to be able to create and attribute databases but when I try to log in I have the following message:
"Error #2002 - The server is not responding (or the local MySQL server's socket is not correctly configured)"
I googled but I cannot find the mysql.conf (I searched using "find") but with no result. It is all very blury what is going on with this webserver option running on my laptop...
I have two computers set up, one is running Ubuntu 9.04 and the other running Windows 7 Professional. I have a bunch of shared files from Windows 7 (which I am normally able to access from any Windows 7 or Windows XP machine on my network) but I can't access them from Ubuntu.I have tried going to Places > Network > Windows Network, but I receive the error "Unable to mount locations Failed to retrieve share list from server"I have also found another recommendation for accessing a windows server, via Places > Connect to Server, but I receive another error message there, "Cannot display location "smb://..." No application is registered as handling this file."Could anyone explain what my problem is and how I could fix it? I really wish I could figure this stupid thing out myself, but it's linux.. it's not meant to be understood by anyone >.<
i have two machines at home running ubuntu linux and windows connected by lan. on ubuntu machine i have mysql installed, how do i go about accessing ubuntu mysql database on my windows machine.
Windows 7 by default cannot read/mount Ext4 type file systems. I installed Ext2fsd which allows me to mount my linux drive and navigate all the subfolders of my root (/) directory, however when I click on a folder from there (I.E, /home) this is what comes up: [URL].
I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows Vista on my laptop. I would like to be able to access the File System in Windows because I need to use iTunes to sync my iPod, while I actually get most of my Music in Ubuntu.
I got the BSOD on Windows 7 and I was unable to fix it at all. But I had already installed Ubuntu on my computer a while ago with a wubi installation. I look and saw other form posts/ tutorials online and ever time I follow them the error I end up getting is hard drive already mounted. Is this because I am already on that hard drive by running Ubuntu or is it because of a bsod error. Also what will happen if I force unmount my hard drive? Basically I want my files from the windows portion so I can move them then too a portable hard drive and factory reset my whole computer.
