Best tool for remote access?

[qeldroma]

me:

I have to administrate one server AND his clients via internet. Connection is fast.

 

What will be the best compromise between security and smooth working via X11??

 

And which of them do i have to use??

Use SSH.

me:

O.....Kay ........?

And why, please? Telnet i know, but rfbdrake, rsh, ssh aren't well known for me.

Could you please write some words about your recommendation?

tobyink:

SSH is Telnet over a secure socket connection. It works exactly like Telnet, but encrypts the entire connection. It supports X11 tunnelling and key-based authentication, so once the keys are all set up properly, you don't even need passwords.

ssh is sweet. I use it all the time, like instead of running back and forth from one room to another when I am doing comp stuff, I have a nice ssh terminal. :)

i second that, SSH is the way to go. it will let you use either command line or graphical, and it is very secure.

never use telnet if you want security.

it sends all info, including root password, plain over the web.

ssh can do the same on a secure way.
