Remote desktop?
Hi,
I'm trying to remotely access someone's system in order to save their files, but they are on a different continent! I am getting them a copy of Knoppix 3.6 in the mail, but what is the easiest method of connecting to their desktop from mine, across the Internet?
Note: They know absolutely nothing about Linux. If I could get them connected to their ISP, I could just tell them to type 'sambastart' at a root shell, and I'd be able to at least see their files and copy small ones. But I also want to have them put a blank CD in their CD burner and be able to burn their files onto it using k3b (without having to copy the files to me 1st over their dial-up line). Is there something as easy as telling them to type 'sambastart' in order to have them configure desktop sharing? (And by the way, what would I do on my machine to connect after that?)
Thanks,
Yonatan

Since you're not going to be transfering much data over tht dial-up link, you might want to consider something like VNC. They could run the server, you could run a VNC client. You would have remote control of their system. You could remote type information to them and they could type back, or if they have another phone line or a cell phone you might want to do more detailed things (or things involved in booting,or rebooting) that way.

ssh can forward X,
and there is another remote client/server set in knoppix do not remember name just now.
but if you drop X the comandline can be used with cdrecord and mkisofs and so you are quite safe there.

And what about FreeNX?
Is VNC not included in Knoppix 3.6?
And what about FreeNX?

This seems like the most easiest solution. From what is described, you just start the server, add a user, and then the client can connect.
Thanks,

Well, it's going to be a little more complicated than that, considering the user is on dial-up. You're also going to have to get them to get their dial-up connecting running under Knoppix. I hope they have a "normal" modem and not a winmodem.
As to VNC being on Knoppix. It was the last time I looked for it and ran. I never saw mention it was removed. I could go boot a Knoppix CD and confirm this, but then again, so could have you rather than asking.
