Okay I know theres some information on it but it was really confusing and I’m not sure if it would work for the example I need.
O and I hope this is in the right forum
I want to do a remote connection maybe a remote shell for a person using windows vista to remote connect my SUSE workstation computer. ?not really sure this is possible
How do i set it up so the person can access my computer remotely and also how do i let the other person remote access my computer like which IP address do i need to give him?
Have the person on Windows use Putty, which is an SSH client for Windows. With that they can SSH into your Linux box. It is even possible to forward applications from the Linux box and have then appear on the Windows desktop. (To forward apps, basically: Configure X forwarding in Puttty, Configure X Forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on Linux, install an X sever on windows (like Xming). SSH into sever and the app you run will appear on the Widows machine. It’s like magic.)
Whatsmyip.org will tell you our Internet (outside WAN) IP. You will have to configure your router to forward a port it is listening on to port 22 or the server running SSH.
Yes I want to be able to let the other person over the internet remote access my computer thats using SUSE with a remote shell but reading the stuff on openSUSE isn’t really getting me anywhere
See the reply from LewsTherinTelamon. One addition I may make would be to
allow SSH (Secure Shell, TCP/22) access from within Yast: Security and
Users: Firewall. SSH works by default out of the box but the firewall
also protects it out of the box and opening this port (or whichever port
you reconfigure SSH to listen on) will be required for somebody to connect
from a remote machine whether that’s in your own network or from the
Internet with the port forwarding that LewsTherinTelamon mentioned is also
possible.
One other addition… if you are providing access over the Internet
change your SSH port to some high, random port to prevent a lot of junk
and easy attacks.
Good luck.
