That is why you use sshOh yay the server got shut off and the remote manager I use decided to change its password so I had to get out a monitor and keyboard to get it up and running again. Yay!
the "best" way to remotely connect to a computer.38 what is that?
for windows computers there is putty (as a client that is). If the server has x installed on the computer you want to connect to(which is pretty much the only way on Linux machines to have a gui) you can forward X through the ssh connection which in my eyes works better then stuff like team viewer ever could.It doesn't do graphical stuff in any efficient manner, and I've no idea if you can make it work with a Windoze machine at either end... but if you know how to use a UNIXey command line and both your computer and the one you want to log into run Linux or OSX, it just works right out of the box.
for me it worked flawlessly. Keep in mind though that all the rendering load is on the connecting computer. If it does not have a good enough GPU it will have lag.42 I've tried using ssh -X before, and even connecting to a server on the same network as my laptop, it was slow and laggy enough that I just had more luck with the command line alone. But maybe that's because I was using a Mac, and Mac and X don't really get along very well.
