[TriLUG] Remote Desktop

[Brian Henning via TriLUG]

Tunnel RDP over SSH?  No additional ports required; on your client side you'd connect Remote Desktop to localhost:[tunnel_port]

The SSH server would handle establishing the TCP connection to the target, already inside the trusted network.

It's what I've done in the past when I have had Windows instances running.

Our accounting package runs on a Windows XP Home system. (No, cannot change either)

I would like to be able to work from home and connect with my laptop.

Our router is running dd-wrt.


I've sent up SSH and VNC connection to another Linux PC where I work to simply get a few files and run a quick report.


The whole issue of opening ports, etc. is a bit daunting to me...don't want to open a door to a hack (which I already did once, but thankfully it was a good guy who just warned me).


I tried to set-up LogMeIn, but because I running a 64-bit system it wouldn't install properly. Gave up trying.

Wonder about Team Viewer.




Suggestions?
