hello,

i have a machine with debian linux installed on it. another machine is with windows 2003 server installed. the IP address of debian system is 10.200.1.130 and the IP for the windows machine is 10.200.1.131.

i would like to know how from my windows 2003 machine i can remotely enter my debian system to see all its resources and other things, l

I don't know about a tool that can be used to connect from Linux to Windows, in unix systems to do this you use ssh and if you want a graphical desktop you put a xserver above.

If you want to go from Windows to linux you need Putty and ssh server installed on your Debian machine. If you install Cygwin you can have a full X environment to X-forward to. To go from Linux to Windows you can use rdesktop to connect to Terminal Server/Remote Desktop.

A catch all solution is to use VNC on both machines. The same protocol is used and you can get VNC for most platforms.

EDIT - I have merged your two threads - please do not cross post, this makes it difficult to respond and causes confusion.

The best idea would be to use a ssh program such as PuTTY. There are many other alternatives as well. Basically, this lets you access the command prompt on the Debian box.

You can also use one of the various VNC solutions, basically giving you a remote desktop. One such program is TightVNC, which works both on linux and windows and is open-source.

I have actually had great results with "SSH SecureShell" for windows. We used to use putty at my old job but upgraded to that. Benefit is that is comes with an SFTP client as well.
