Thank you very much. I apologize for my ignorance on networks communications. I used SSH some time ago but never had to set it up. I will have a look at the system directory on my Mac. I also opened the web site for VNC. I understand for Mac nothing comes for free (I was spoilt by Linux) but the good news is that a Mac license is not so expensive. Still I am not sure what my collaborator (Elia) in Finland has to do on his part. In the case I install VNC server on my Mac, should Elia install VNC Client on his Linux system ? In the case I somehow enable SSH on my Mac, what should Elia do to connect an one od my Mac users remotely ?
I emphasize that in order to properly run the Statistical Signal Processing toolkit on my Mac, Elia must be able to open a graphic window on his own Linux system (in Finland) where the results of the SSP package, running on my Mac, can be displayed. The SSP toolkit generates plenty of plots. Elia must be able to operate on the the SSP toolkit GUI, from his own Linux system, to set up the analysis parameters for his own SSP sessions. Having said that, which one of the two cross-platform connection options (SSH and VCN) can guarantee a remote graphic interface ?
Thank you for your patience and understanding, Maura
On the linux client computer there should be a VNC client, for instance the KDE Remote Desktop application supports VNC there will certainly be a number of VNC clients on any Linux distro. In order to SSH into the MAC you will need to enable port 22 to be forwarded on your router to your Mac also you may need to allow port 22 inbound on your Mac, assuming you have the firewall turned on: System Preferences > Security select access for specific services and applications and enable Remote Login (SSH). As far as I know I don't think it's easy to have several users logged into a MAC at the same time (this is easy on Linux), so the remote user would have to remote control your open MAC screen, not a separate login to you. -- David Bottrill david@bottrill.org Registered Linux user number 330730 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
