Remote access of PC in lab from hostels in campus??

[chanukya krishna chama]

Hi
Is it possible to access one's PC with Ubuntu OS or any other OS in
lab, remotely from the hostels in IIT Delhi campus.??
(or)
Can we access one's PC with Ubuntu OS in lab , remotely from CSC
(Computer Service Centre) or from other Lab etc with any portable
software to be carried in pendrive to do the same, without logging in
admin user.

If its possible can someone suggest simple and easiest way to setup
with minimal administrative rights?
&
Can we access a PC of Ubuntu OS from a PC of SUSE or windows in campus
etc.

Thanks,

Chanukya

Yes, if you can direct ssh tunnel is possible
if default post is blocked then you can do the same using many
possible alternatives.
i am not a export but
read about port forwarding , ssh tunnels Or shifting the default port of ssh,
It means, run ssh server over port 80 and I think nobody blocks port
80 inside IITD.

I think CSC has Windows PC. So you need to figure out the ssh client
for Windows.

Why are you mentioning the Distro names? If you have a GNU/Linux box
then you can run ssh server over it using
# /etc/init.d/sshd start

and you can access it from anywhere in LAN from any system using ssh
client. like
ssh ro...@10.120.65.57

if you able to ping from hostel to Lab, then you can simply access
without any trick.

If you want to access the GUI then you need to run the VNC server Or
use "ssh -X" which will forward the X.

There are a large number of possibilities you can do for remote
application/OS access.

Hey,

Yes, it is possible via SSH (Secure Shell). but your PC in lab needs
to be booted into Ubuntu/Linux.

The command is: ssh username@ipaddress
You can install something like Openssh.

Once you are SSH'ed into the other machine you can use a command like
Scp (Secure Copy) to transfer files between the two machines. I think
this is the most common and efficient way of remote-login. Would have
been dead without something like this :D

Hope that helps.

Run nmap <lab-ip> (with root priviliges needed on some distros)
It shall tell what ports are available. Last known all ports were
blocked by CSC except a few like ssh/ftp on 10.10.4.1 (which allowed
only incoming ssh connections) and http connections to the main site.
