Tunnel - SSH - Remote Desktop

Now for a linux box. :) Linux is actually a lot easier to setup and I don't even need any screen shots! :)

First I will show you the commands. Then what it means.

1. ssh -fNL 1234:10.0.0.1:3389 aa.bb.cc.dd
2. rdesktop localhost:1234

Thats it! Linux is great!! ha :)

I will let you read the man page on the f,N,&L but I will explain the rest. In step one we put 1234:10.0.0.1:3389. 1234 is the local port that you will point the rdesktop command to. 10.0.0.1 is the remote machine you want to pull up. 3389 is the remote port to connect to.

Then, rdesktop is the program to open up remote desktop. Remember to point localhost to the local port 1234 (localhost:1234).
