In this post we are actually going to see how things work in remote login. For this consider two parties i> A host computer and
ii>A remote user.
The host computer is the computer that is to be accessed by a user who is remote to that system. When we relate to our prvious example the host computer is the computer that is placed in the cluster lab and 'X' is the remote user.
For remote login to work successfully three major components are required viz : A common software(eg team viewer),an internet connection and a secure desktop sharing network. The common software consists of two distinct programs which are :
1)The desktop sharing client that runs on the host computer and
2)A viewer program that allows the remote user to view the contents of the host.
The scheme works when both the host and the remote user are connected to the net and both use the same desktop sharing software. We have tried doing this using the Team Viewer software on the windows vista operating software. Through this software the host computer was able to hand over it's keyboard and mouse controls to the remote user. In order to do this the software must be run on the host computer first where it generates a partner id and password. In order for the remote user to access the host computer, it has to request the host computer for the partner id and the password. Thus we were able to control the host computer through a common software when both the host and the remote systems were connected to the internet.
