I want to open a remote desktop session from my laptop to desktop over my SSH (reverse) tunnel. That should be simple (or at least doable), right? Until now I’ve been using Team Viewer to log in to the remote desktop. I’d like to achieve similar results without Team Viewer.
I have two machines, both running kubuntu: server & client. I’d like to connect to server from client and start the full graphical interface without fear that some commands would be run as client user.
I have a reverse ssh tunnel through a middleman server set up and working. I’m running Kubuntu 12.04 here and on the remote machine.
I am trying to set up some automation scripts to set up a Linux environment. I would like to enable remote desktop sharing without the user having to actually use the GUI to do so. My plan is to write a batch script that maybe edits some file to do this automatically, if possible.
rdesktop and xfreerdp are both linux clients for RDP.
Not totally sure if this is the right place but here goes.
