Hi.

One way which i used succesfully is useing RPC.

Anoather way is by using VNC server or Citrix server programs, and then the remote compure looks like it would be your own.

You can do whatever you used to do with you own.

Hi,
You can run programs on remote computer with SSH and Telnet. SSH may be a better option

Well, SSH only allows you to log on to a remote terminal... then how can I run applications using it??? By the way, I've never even run any apps using CLI mode... I'm a newbie to Linux!!!

Once you login successfully, it behaves just like local machine. Just type in the command you want to run. That's all.

I know that... I've logged on to remote terminal, and it really behaves like local machine... But, I do not even know how to run an app on local terminal in CLI mode... I hope u would understand...

hmm.

First, you have to know where the program is if it is not built-in command. If properly configurated, you should be able to type the program name to execute it.

ex. just use mail command to see the email.

If your program is installed in some special directory, you have the set the 'path' environment variable properly or you have to go to that directory by command cd.


My suggestion is that you should take one unix tutorial book first.
