How can a Linux system server be accessed through remote desktop?

Here are some common methods for remotely accessing a Linux system server using remote desktop protocol.

  1. Using VNC: VNC is a remote desktop protocol that allows you to connect to a server using a VNC client. Firstly, install VNC server software (such as TightVNC) and configure it on the server. Then, install VNC client software (such as RealVNC or TightVNC Viewer) on your local computer and connect by specifying the server’s IP address and port number.
  2. To utilize XRDP, you can connect from a Windows remote desktop client to a Linux server. First, install XRDP software on the server and start the XRDP service. Then, on the Windows computer, use the “Remote Desktop Connection” tool to connect to the server’s IP address.
  3. To connect to a specific application on a Linux server without the entire desktop environment, you can utilize SSH and X11 forwarding. Start by connecting to the server via SSH. Next, install and configure X11 server software (such as Xming) on the server. Lastly, run the application within the SSH session and redirect the display window to the X11 server on your local computer.

It is important to note that using remote desktop to access a server may pose security risks, so make sure that remote access settings on the server are secure and use strong passwords and encryption protocols to protect the connection.
