Remotely control an LL machine from Windows 10 on LAN

Easiest is to install the Xrdp server to Linux Lite and then use the RDP client from your Windows computer to connect. The subject is well covered on the Internet.

Also if you want to use an SSH tunnel for security just type SSH in your Windows power shell to see if SSH is available on your system and install open SSH server to your LL system. The subject is also well covered on the Internet.

Personally I use an Xming server on Windows and use SSH X11 forwarding as I rarely need access to anything more than a few applications (full remote desktop is basically unnecessary) a method that requires only an SSH connection to work with Linux on Windows.

I'm used to VNC and, lately, Veyon which, if I'm not mistaken, is loosely based on VNC, but I've only used both in a Windows-on-Windows configuration, never with Linux thrown in the mix.

Any VNC viewer "should" work... Following the LL manual works like a charm - I followed it after messing with another vncserver that didn't work right off

To access a LL from Windows - you're looking for VNC...
I have this set up for a headless LL system, I'm running my printer through but use vnc to access remotely for updates etc...


On Windows I use UltraVNC Viewer...

On LL I installed/set up as per the Help... https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/network.html?q=vnc&x=0&y=0&per_page=7&matchtype=0#vnc




You can use SSH too if you like; for CLI interface, not graphical like VNC...
I too use this - Can install Putty or can use Powershell to connect... If anything, openssh-server may need to be installed... If so,

--- Quote ---sudo apt install openssh-server
--- End quote ---


Then in putty enter hostname or ip of LL box and log in when prompted...
In Powershell... enter:   

--- Code: ---ssh userid@host/ip
--- End code ---
   
then you will be prompted for password


If not connecting check firewalls (both Win/LL) or turn both off to confirm and open as needed...

Thanks for the quick reply, J! I'm not trying to access my W10 PC from LL, though; I'm trying to do the opposite: the LL PC will remain on most of the time and act as a file server because I installed LL on an aging Lenovo laptop with plenty of USB ports, whereas my shiny new HP laptop only offers 2 (USB A).

I'll plug the external HDD and SSD onto the Lenovo running LL and connect to it from the HP via RDP (or SSH if I have to, with MobaXTerm maybe).

Seems to me that Remmina is an RDP client for accessing remote Windows PCs, not a server program. Maybe I'm missing something here, though.
