VNC through SSH with Windoze 3 years 21 weeks ago

Ok, I've been shaking my head these last few days trying to VNC into my Linux machine from my Windoze 7 machine using SSH. Here is what I've currently done so far:

I have SSH configured using port 8567, and have opened the tcp port 8567 in my firewall. I am able to ssh into the linux machine using putty on windoze, and do anything on the command line just fine.

[ubuntu] Web Server 30 weeks 4 days ago

Hi All

I have put a web server on a machine with Ubuntu on it and I connect to this machine via ssh using Putty.

I am trying to share the www folder so I can open it form my windows machine so I can put the files in there.

I used the command : net usershare add www /var/www "www" everyone:F guest_ok=no

When I connect tot he machine from the windows machine using \\192.168.1.1

Tunneling ftp connection 1 year 4 weeks ago

here is my situation.

I need to access an FTP server at work. The server will only accept local IP's, so I cannot access it from my home machine. I have been able to ssh into my unix work machine through PuTTY and from there successfully open a console ftp connection to the FTP server. I could work through this, but I would prefer not to as it is very cumbersome for me.

I have created a virtual machine and installed Redhat 6. I am having issues connecting using public key authentication.

I can use PuTTY on my Windows host to connect to the redhat guest, where I am prompted for a password.

When I want to work on my local Linux machines from windows, I use Putty+Xming and I set the Xming port in Putty connection settings. This way I have a terminal on the machine and if, for example, I run the command 'firefox' a firefox window is opened in Windows (while it is really running on the Linux machine).

I have an Ubuntu 12.04.01 desktop PC, 64-bit. It has openssh-server installed.

When I SSH to the server from a linux box it works. But when I use PuTTY from my Windows 7 PC to connect then I just get an immediate error:

The server closed the connection unexpectidely

Both the server and the PC are on the same LAN.

I connect remotely using ssh (putty). 90% of the time I tried to run a network related command, the server restarts. It becomes unavailable for few minutes and then back again. I noticed the first problem when I tried to svn checkout. I tried to restart the network service, but putty keeps giving me "Network error: Software caused connection abort".
