I want to be able to administer my server from Windows. What program or tools would you recommend? Thanks!
My favorites are PuTTY and NoMachine's NX software (http://www.nomachine.com/download.php), both have been mentioned in this thread already.
I used VNC before, but don't use it much anymore. I prefer NX when I need a GUI because it compresses and decompresses the data before and after transferring the data on the wire, and thus make it workable on even relatively slow network connections. I do occasionally use NetSarang Computer, Inc.'s Xmanager too, it is a very slick X implementation for Windows. This one ain't free though...
For command line stuff nothing beats PuTTY. I use it a lot to access mainly Linux and Solaris boxes, and is perhaps my most important tool. You'll never look back after having used this.

I'm not sure any of this thread answers a question of mine, but I may be wrong. What I would like to do is have a transparent path in both directions to exchange files between an XP system and Linux 9.3. I also need concise directions how to set this up in both systems. Drag and drop would be nice, but is not essential. --doug -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
