You could use SSH. Look through your package manager for the SSH daemon and SSH client utilities. Run the SSHD on computers you want to connect to with

/etc/init.d/sshd start

once you've installed SSHD. Then connect to the computers with SSH using username "foo" like so

ssh -l foo 192.168.1.100

This will log you onto the computer remotely. You have now accessed the computer via terminal.

Remember to setup the correct options through the sshd_config file, they are pretty self-explanatory and very well documented. When logging on remotely make sure you use the local ip assigned by your router, when logging on remotely use your actual ip...

Agree with Dachnaz. SSH is the only way to go. Learning SSH increases one's Linux joy by leaps and bounds.

Of course ssh is the way to go if you are connecting to a Linux box, but the poster mentions samba which means he´s probably talking about connecting to a Win PC. In which case ssh will not work unless of course he installs extra software..

Then why don't you tell him what "extra software" he needs since accessing other Windows PCs from the command line is what he wishes to do?

yes its WinPCs not other linux box, basically linux box to WinXp
, so the SSH will not work??

Hi there, you can use ssh from a Linux box to Win PC but you will need to install Cygwin Have a look at their website for further info. Also check this site out ssh for further info on ssh & other secure ways of connecting using the command line...

@Dapper instead of trying to flame me why didn´t you just point the ´other software´ out.. prat!!
