Some interconnectivity
in [Debian]

From: David Baron on 2 Jul 2008 12:40 At my job, I have an XP machine. At home, Debian. I allowed protocols in the firewall from my local machine to "DMZ" at put the work server on that. I set up dovecot, IMAP server. Outlook uses this just fine. I installed a windows putty, ssh's just fine. FTP works just fine. I installed a nice free fold syncer "goodsync" to sync some active work folders with copies on the Linux using FTP. Works fine with one interesting caveat: I has filed marked at modified on the linux machine and I did not touch them there! The linux file times also are sometimes off by two hours as shown on the xp machine in goodsync's listing. I installed xming, a free x-windows for windows.Cygwin might work better but I do not want to install all of that. I can bring of an xterm on the home machine at work. I could even bring up "konsole" but that ran awful slow so was unusable. From the xterm, I can run other goodies. Fonts do not look that great, however. I do not know how to enable the xfs/xftt service. I cannot forward X from the putty. Maybe I need a bidirection enable in the firewall to do that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

This might not be what you're looking for, but I believe that x11vnc with the -localhost argument would still let you do a VNC session over SSH. -- http://elijahr.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If X over SSH is lagging, VNC /will/ be worse, if only because X is vector-based and has less overhead as a result, and VNC is raster bitmap. -- Paul Johnson baloo(a)ursine.ca

I don't know much about goodsync, but you might want to check out Unison for synchronizing directories over machines. I've had good luck with it. > I cannot forward X from the putty.

I can't tell you how to do it, but you don't need an extra firewall rule for this -- all the forwarded X traffic goes over the existing ssh connection (which presumably gets through you firewall just fine).

So do I uncheck all the X protocols in both directions, enabling SSH is enough? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
