The only thing I recognized there was VNC, but that's not as secure as SSH, right?
Anyways, I read chapter 34 of Beginning SUSE Linux: Accessing Linux Remotely, and learned a few things. It looks like I could just type
to run bash on the remote pc and use the sftp command to transfer files. The chapter also talked about using the GUI remotely, which pretty much covers everything I want to do, but the book isn't up to date for SUSE 11.1, so his instructions aren't completely accurate as far as I could see. Before I could do anything like this, I have to configure the firewalls of both PCs. So, I need to go into yast>security and users>firewall>allowed services and enable secured server shell, right? Then I need to click advanced and open up a port through which to communicate? Here's a screenshot of the screen I wound up at. I believe I should type in 5900 for the port, but which box do I type that in? There are three entries for ports and one for IP protocols. Do I need to enter anything else to make ssh possible between these two machines?
