I am not sure I totally understand your question. Are you asking if you can run a linux app on a windows system as if it were a single app on the windows desktop and interact with the windows file system?
With vncserver you connect to the linux system and you interact with the linux desktop and apps alone. Yes, you can still use your windows programs but the linux desktop and apps are *not* aware of the user's operating system. Remember, the VNC program was designed so people of a wide array of OS's could connect to the vncserver's os. I recommend checking out the vnc website for info: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ If you want to be able to allow the linux apps to interact with the user's files I would recommend storing the user's files on the linux system and write a script so that when the user's log into the windows computer it mounts their 'my documents' or whatever M$ calls it from across the network. Then, whatever system the users are using they have access to the same files. (I can't help you with writing such a script, I have been in an environment where it has been used, but I don't write window's login scripts --- if they can even be called that) On Thu, 2002-10-10 at 22:53, Stephen Liu wrote: > Hi Anthony, > > Re vncserver > > Can Windows clients operate Linux applications on Windows screen? > Can files and data be transferred between these two OSs (Windows and Linux) > without via a third application? > > Could you shed me some advice?
