[dba-Tech] Remote access to a MacBook Pro

[John R Bartow]

Thanks for the info Jim. However its appears that I could only control a
Linux machine from an eclectic collection of other OSs. I need to control an
OSX from Windows. Might come in handy in the near future though.

Hi John:

I have been using X2Go at http://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php.

It runs across all platforms, runs over SSH (with all the implied security),
does not require a third party company to manage (and charge) for
connections, is very fast and even allows past-through printing and sound. 

I have recently installed it so I will be able to remotely manage my network
and am still working out the details but am so far very impressed.

Considerations: The applications involved run on and connect across all
platforms. You must install an SSH client and server on the respective
computers but it can be done very quickly, it is nice to have an absolutely
secure connection and depending on how the router is configured, the port
you want for the connection may have to be opened. Aside: After an command
line SSH connection can be maintained then X2Go can be installed. 

If you decide to go this route I will be glad to help as I am just getting a
handle on this new tech myself. I am of course using Linux but the installs
and concepts are exactly the same whether it is Windows or Apple or various
smartphones/tablets.

Jim

Hi All,

I need to set up remote access (no or low cost) on a MacBook Pro that I can
monitor from my Windows PC. I've attempted RealVNC and I have failed. Any
suggestions as to what I might have missed?

 

TIA,

John B
