Webmin, or cygwin with X, or NX, or Putty (just ssh to the box)

Yes, if you don't want/need the other *nix features of Cygwin, then Xming is the way to go. Very simple.

If you want those "*nix features", you can still install Cygwin, without X. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I use Putty from windows also. Or I run the apache2 server on SuSE to access files on linux from windows. Samba and WebDAV are good ways to write data to linux system from windows, but they are slightly more difficult to set up. Also the a windows filesystem can be accessed from linux by adding an entry to /etc/fstab. Recently I've been emulating windows using qemu. Basically you install windows on a hard drive image created with qemu-img. Then windows is actually running on a Linux host. In fact there are a flood of ways to exchange data between windows and linux. We don't need a deal between corporations to do that. Here's a quickstart guide. http://kidsquid.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/QuickStartGuid I also documented this on my blog, http://donaghy.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_donaghy_archive.html#1164285202003561...

depending what you mean to do on the linux computer, there is a simpler procedure.

use putty like an ssh client and connect to your server (of course ssh access must be open on this server).

this opens a terminal on the server.

from this one "ssh <our computer on the local net>" and you are done.

of course this need an account on the three machines :-). I use it frequently to copy (scp) a forgotten file from my home computer to a remote one (two scp, in fact).

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.

Your question seems to be a bit different.

Doug, you can do this in various ways, but using a share on Windows and setting up Samba on the SLP 9.3 machine would do the trick if you need to copy files back and forth with or without a GUI. If you're using Active Directory, then you could even have authentication happen against AD for both. Concise directions on how to set up and configure Samba can be found at www.samba.org, but you may want to check your SLP 9.3 documentation as well since you may be able to configure Samba via YaST. If this is overkill for your needs, then another alternative is to install and configure SSH on your systems. -- Geir A.

You can configure quite a bit of Samba inside Yast, but are far better to make sure SWAT is installed, and access that via any browser (http://localhost:901).

SWAT is covered at samba.org, for more info see for example: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/SWAT.html -- Geir A. Myrestrand -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
