Up one levelRead here to find out how to implement a remote login, i.e., logging onto a distant computer to use the documents on it, from your very own computer.
- Virtual Network Computing (VNC)
- What it is and what makes it different from other computer systems.
- Using VNC with SSH
- Read this to know how to 'tunnel' the VNC protocol through SSH, to provide more security to your connection.
- Macinstall
- Macintosh Software Installation for VNC
- Using ssh
- Secure Shell Client (remote login program)
- X Windows
- X Windows is a distributed Graphical User Interface (GUI) environment. In other words, you can run a program on a UNIX machine, but have the window appear on your local machine. This gives you the full functionality of using the graphical interface, while still having the power of a large UNIX computer.
- Computer windowing system
- X Window System (commonly X11 or X) is a networking and display protocol which provides windowing on bitmap displays. It provides the standard toolkit and protocol to build graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on Unix-like operating systems and OpenVMS, and is supported by almost all other modern operating systems.
- Running X window on Microsoft Windows using X-Win32.
- The Social Sciences Computing Services has licensed X-Win32. To get the software installed follow the instructions here. Once installed there are a series of steps that can be followed to create a connection.
- Running X window on Microsoft Windows using VNC
- UNIX applications with a graphical user-interface require the use of X-windows or other remote display software when connecting from a remote location. VNC on Windows systems is currently supported.
- Using X- windows from an Apple computer
- UNIX applications with a graphical user-interface require the use of X-windows or other remote display software when connecting from a remote location. the X-windows (using Apple X11) on Macintosh computers is currently supported.
