Remote Desktop - mizzy - 2006-05-26
Not sure how to do this, as it needs both windows & linux for what I want to do. I know on windows I can use remote desktop software so I can access the desktop of another windows computer with my windows run laptop.
What I want to do next, is connect to a windows computer from a linux run laptop. Any ideas how to do this? I've found a remote desktop setting in linux, but that's for the opposite way around. It's not the linux desktop that I want to connect to, its the windows one.
Any idea's folks? :)

Rdesktop is the utility .. tsclient is a nicer frontend to it .. and some screenshots to show you why :)

hmmmm, that has worked, but it didn't work the way I thought it would :(
I was hoping to be able to connect to a windows run laptop and copy (from a linux laptop) and paste into the windows run laptop. Can't do this at all. Is there a way round this?

how about running windows vncserver on the windows box and use vncviewer on the linux box to connect remotely,
that might do what you want, but i cannot confirm it as i havnt tried it
cheers

I find that I can copy and paste fine .. try this technique...
- Select text with left click
- Move mouse to section you wish to paste in
- Middle click and it should paste.
This is a general copy'n'paste method for Xorg.

Thanks for the suggestion, will try that next. Another issue that I've just realised, that if I connect, it boots me off (on the desktop) so i'm connected on the laptop. I did want it to be done so both the laptop and desktop could see the same screen. *thinks* that I need some server solution for my desktop, goes to hunt! :)
