I don't think sutch protocol exist on Windows, but you cant use a windows VPN (PPTP) connexion
RDP on newer version has an encryption and client validation options.
This addresses the secure access to the local system from a remote source.
you could get tightVNC/ultraVNC if you have a home version of windows.

basically in linux, we can ssh into another computer. meaning we can use other computer. run commands on that computer. that's what i meant . is there any functionality like this in window OS's.

in windows we can RDP , but then we are controlling all resources. nobody else can use that computer locally. on contrast, in linux many people can use the same computer at a time .


did you get me?

Hi Ipajones,

i am trying to ssh to windows server from linux?

what are requirements ?
In that case you need SSH-server on your Windows computer, like that included in Cygwin.

We have windows server 2003, so i'll install cygwin(which includes ssh-server) on windows server 2003.

and then i can ssh into windows server2003 from fedora?

is that correct?
yes, but what you can do will be limited. If your fedora is running in graphical mode, you can use the tsclient to remotely connect to a windows terminal/RDP
That is correct but after installing Cygwin you need to enable it by starting a Cygwin-prompt (appears upon installation) and running the SSh setup script. Detailed instructions can be found here:

VPN or RDP look like the best option for Windows environment not SSH
