Re: [Hardhats-members] Linux question: remote desktop sharing

[CS Wagner]

I wasn't clear... When you open a remote file in Kate, it copies the 
file to a local temp file automatically.  When you save, it copies the 
local temp file to the remote site.  That is how it is able to allow you 
to edit without the lag.  If you wanted to, you could also open a remote 
file from one location, then use 'save as' to save it to another (or 
local) location.  I should also point out that you can use many custom 
layout formats for things like C, Perl, PHP, Java, and such.  It 
highlights the text and, if you have the latest version, allows you to 
collapse program blocks.

Shaun,
Yes, Kate is the editor that I like as well.  I have
just found out that I can do what you have been doing.
I didn't know about the saving locally setting
though.  How do I do that?

SSH with X tunnel.  All GUI stuff pops up on your
local terminal.  It is 
secure (because of SSH), but there is a delay.  I
use Kate with my KDE 
desktop.  It fetches files and saves them in temp
files for me to work 
on, then sends the changes back to the server when
I'm done.  It is 
seamless, so I don't have to upload/download all the
time.  Also, 
working on local files means there's no delay.

Hello all,
I have taken an offcast PC and made a linux server
     

out
   

of it.  I want to do my future VistA development on
it.  Furthermore, I would like to be able to work
     

off
   

of it when I come to the OpenVistA conference.
I can ssh into it and work that way, but I would
     

like
   

to be able to use a NICE editor (i.e. I hate
     

'vi')...
   

so I have started thinking about setting up remote
desktop sharing.
When I have done web searches for this, it seems
     

that
   

the technology is "vnc".  My redhat 9 book,
     

however,
   

says that vnc transmits passwords in plaintext, and
that one would need to tunnel it through a ssh
     

shell
   

for security.  Its sounding a bit complicated.
Is there an easier, but secure, way to share the
server desktop?
Also, it seems that the VNC system is sending
screenshots of the server's desktop.  But I wonder,
didn't someone mention on the list recently about
another way, i.e. the X11 system sends remote draw
commands etc rather than sending simple graphic
     

images
   

of the desktop?
Thanks
Kevin
