492 CHAPTER 34 ACCESSING COMPUTERS REMOTELY Figure 34-5. By installing a VNC server, you can connect to just about any remote operating system, including Windows 98 (as here). Summary In this chapter, we looked at how you can access your Ubuntu computer remotely across the Internet. We examined how you can access the computer as if you were sitting in front of it, using the ssh program. This allows you to start a command-line prompt and even run GUI programs on the remote computer. In addition, we discussed how the screen program can be used to keep sessions alive across various logins, and how you can transfer files using the sftp and scp programs. Then we looked at how to use the Terminal Server Client tool to access the desktop of remote Windows computers.
