Question remote Linux server

Would someone care to point me in the right direction?

I have a small LAN, Windows PCs plus a Linux server - ADSL connection, dynamic IP. The server has no GUI or keyboard. I want to run a file-sharing client on the server (24/7) and access it through any of the PCs (sometimes).

This sounds standard to me, but I don't know where to start. Can anyone help, please?

And yes, I know I should RTFM. And I would, if only I knew which M to FR! Ive searched around the sites and the forums, and I still HGFC.

Before anyone thinks that stranger_isl is cross-posting, note that it is I who have copied his/her post here - in the hope that perhaps others will see it and respond.

Default remote access

Well you can either telnet to the linux system, or preferably SSH to the system because with telnet you can easily be sniffed (not good... root password easily gained this way).

In order to Telnet or SSH into the system, use Secure CRT (SSH), CRT (Telnet), Putty (free and can SSH) or any one of several available programs.

If you would prefer to look at the system in a more GUI surrounding, use X-Win32 or Exceed or any similar program.

If you want you can also tip into the system using a null modem cable... but that can be a pain and you need to have physical access to the system.

Well then i crosspost too

Run a vncserver on your linux box and use gtk-gnutella.
You can then access the programs running under your vncserver via a vncclient from any computer you have

Just like guruz I would also recommend using VNC on your server and on your client. It is free, reliable and available for Windows and Linux.

On the Linux server you'll need to install XFree86 and the VNC package, then start the VNC server like this:
Code:
vncserver -geometry 1600x1200
(or specify any other resolution you want to use on your client).

On the client simply install the VNC viewer (Linux or Windows) and connect to your server (even possible over the Internet).

I would also recommend using gtk-gnutella.

VNC wouldn't be my number 1 choice (Xwin32 would), but it works for what they're asking. It's kind of like "pick a card..any card" they all work. I myself prefer the ace of hearts, while others may prefer the king of clubs, it's a matter of taste
