Need a remote desktop to a headless server without logging in first
- by user17971
I've been using Linux for many years now but only to run servers. Over the last few days I've been struggling with a technical / configuration issue which I hope someone can help with. I've installed / un-installed many packages but just can't figure out what the "right" way of doing this is.
The requirement seems simple
Server runs Ubuntu 10.04 with xubuntu and SSH (I do NOT want to connect any screen, keyboard or mouse to the server)
I have Windows 7 machine with putty on it and logging in to the server using SSH is fine
I want to run an xterminal session on my Windows machine.
Amongst the things I've tried is VNU but I can't get it to work because I believe you have to login on the server first.
Thanks in advance
