This page contains instructions
how to use TST Windows computer remotely from Lintula Linux computer,
Lintula Solaris SunRay terminal or other Linux or Mac computer.
Windows computer can be used remotely with Windows Remote Desktop
Protocol. The remotely used Windows computer can be users personal
TST Windows workstation or TST Windows terminal server. More information
about using TST Windows computers remotely and about permissions on
TST www-pages.
Windows Remote Desktop client software called rdesktop is by default installed on every Lintula Linux workstion and laptop and TST Windows computers are configured to allow Remote Desktop connections from Lintula Linux workstations and laptops.
Example how to use rdesktop:
rdesktop -d TST -k fi -g 1270x950 kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi |
Options on example command line:
| -d TST | The name of the windows domain on destination computer |
| -k fi | Use Finnish keyboard layout |
| -g 1270x950 | Windows desktop size is 1270x950 pixels |
| kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi | The name of the windows computer is kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi |
Windows Remote Desktop client software called rdesktop is by default installed on Lintula Solaris SunRay servers and TST Windows computers are configured to allow Remote Desktop connections from Lintula Solaris SunRay servers.
Example how to use uttsc (if uttsc is not on default PATH, use command /opt/SUNWuttsc/bin/uttsc):
uttsc -l fi_FI -g 1270x950 kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi |
Options on example command line:
| -l fi_FI | Use Finnish characted set (and keyboard layout) |
| -g 1270x950 | Windows desktop size is 1270x950 pixels |
| kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi | The name of the windows computer is kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi |
If Remote Desktop connection is originated on non-Lintula Linux computer, the connection must be tunneled via Lintula ssh server with ssh.
SSH-tunnel is created with command:
ssh -L 4567:kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi:3389 -l username kaarne.cs.tut.fi |
Options on example command line:
| -L 4567: | The tcp port on local computer (usually any free port above 1024 can be used) |
| kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi:3389 | The name of the windows computer is kalmari.tst.cs.tut.fi (using the default port 3389) |
| -l username | username is users Lintula username |
| kaarne.cs.tut.fi | The name of the Lintula ssh server, for example kaarne.cs.tut.fi |
After the SSH-tunnel is created, the remote desktop client software must connect the tcp port on local computer used above (for example 4567).
For example rdesktop on Linux computer:
rdesktop -d TST -u username -k fi -g 1270x950 localhost:4567 |
