What is remote Linux® access?
Linux Remote Access allows the user to access their Linux operating system from another computer. Depending on the type of remote access used, it may allow access to the entire desktop or the command line only. Different security levels can also be implemented for remote Linux access.
You want to use remote access, the computer must be connected to the Internet, or be logged in to the local network from which the computer is accessible. The user must also know the IP address of its router to be accessible to a distance. To create a secure connection, the user must install the Secure Shell (SSH) network protocol (SSH), which creates a secure "tunnel" between the two systems. When connected over the Internet, a safe connection should always be used, but it is usually not necessary on the local network.
The virtual network calculation (VNC) is used for remote connection to the entire desktop system on the Linux computer. In most cases, both machines must have a MV client installedC to create a connection. Freeware VNC clients are available, but the popular Linux Ubuntu distribution also comes with the VNC installed tool. Linux remote access preferences can be set from the Preferences system in Ubuntu.
SSH creates secure connections between machines and also allows access to the "shell" machine, which basically provides the user command line on a remote computer. In order to connect, the SSH server must be installed on both machines. The server can be installed in any Linux operating system by entering the "SUDO APT-GET INSTALLATION OPENSSH-SERVER" on the command line.
Once the SSH server is set, the user guides the remote connection by entering "ssh -l" plus IP address and other information needed to connect to a remote computer. After connecting computers, the user can either work in a remote computer shell or Connect VNC to workwith the entire distant area. VNC is connected by entering the client name VNC plus the IP address of the remote computer on the command line.
In addition to connecting remotely from another Linux system, the user can also connect with Linux remote access from Windows or Mac. For this purpose, the Linux system is set in the same way as to connect to another Linux system and the second operating system must have a VNC and SSH client installed. Once these applications are set, the user enters the IP address and port of the router to connect to the Linux machine.
