At my job, I have an XP machine. At home, Debian. I allowed protocols in the firewall from my local machine to "DMZ" at put the work server on that.
I set up dovecot, IMAP server. Outlook uses this just fine. I installed a windows putty, ssh's just fine. FTP works just fine. I installed a nice free fold syncer "goodsync" to sync some active work folders with copies on the Linux using FTP. Works fine with one interesting caveat: I has filed marked at modified on the linux machine and I did not touch them there! The linux file times also are sometimes off by two hours as shown on the xp machine in goodsync's listing. I installed xming, a free x-windows for windows.Cygwin might work better but I do not want to install all of that. I can bring of an xterm on the home machine at work. I could even bring up "konsole" but that ran awful slow so was unusable. From the xterm, I can run other goodies. Fonts do not look that great, however. I do not know how to enable the xfs/xftt service. I cannot forward X from the putty. Maybe I need a bidirection enable in the firewall to do that. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
