All, I have this new project I'm working on that requires me to remotely access my linux clients from behind a firewall. The linux clients will be running an application at a certain time and would be best if I could monitor and alter their configuration remotely at any given time. I remember there being a way for me to send an x window remotely from within a firewall to an outside world but thought to ask here if there is any new forms of accomplishing my goals so here are the details.
-Client at a remote location behind a firewall, it is able to access the internet and upload and connect to different services. The firewall here should not be altered. -Server at another location that is configurable and behind another firewall but that firewall can be altered. I'd hope to have the client start a ssh connection to the server on a designated port(that the server is listening too) and then send either an xterm, x-application, or perhaps the entire desktop of the remote client. The server user could then configure and alter any UI settings and make dynamic changes to any running applications. This is for all legal reasons and all people involve are completely supportive of the idea. I need an X window because the applications being used will have slider controls that may need changing. If you have any ideas or suggestions that would make this project easier or reasons why it will not work I'd appreciate any feedback. I'm going off to test some theories but perhaps someone here will save me from having lots of headaches as I develop a solution.
