HET Help with Windows Connections from the Outside
Dirty way out…
One way to face this situation is using Prof Lowe's
notes, that makes use of Exceed, VPN and some other tools (like
SSH).
This is, by far, not the best solution out there: it's heavy on
the machine load (both, local and remote), it's heavy on the network
load and it's cumbersome to set up, involving tools and steps which are
unnecessary.
Because of this, we (the admins >;-) reserve the right to ask users not
to do it and interrupt sessions without notice. We, officially, prefer
this route not to be taken.
Better and more elegant solutions…
For better ways to address this issue, (VNC, Cygwin/Minix, GNU dll,
etc), please, stop by B&H 625 and talk to one of us. >:-) Neither of the
alternatives are complicated and/or intricated, but lack of time
prevents their posting at this time.
