I assume that "remote software" is a software that you can use to access to the linux "console".

You can use putty.exe to connect using ssh from Windows to Linux.

I use both VNC and putty (SSH) to remotely access Linux and other UNIX based OSs.

If you need access to XWindows application you will need a VNC client. You will also need
a VNC server running on the Linux Server.

If you only need to access command line (tty
based) tools then putty will do all you need.

There are some things that you should check.

The sshd service is up and running on the Linux box. If you use fedora/redhat, use:

chkconfig sshd on
service sshd start
service sshd status

In the Windows client, putty is using ssh as the protocol.

Your firewall is not blocking connections to port 22.

On the linux box, you can also try:

ssh localhost

To see if the service is enabled.

Many viable options.

ptty ssh

Gives non-console control of Linux. The network must be up for this to work.

VNC will give you console like control through the network, and you get the virtual desktop and can run GUI applications that way.

All you need to run the Linux box is ssh, but if you want to run an app remotely VNC is the way to go.

VNC is nice from other areas, because it runs on Windows, HP-UX and many other Unix platforms.

I use PuTTY to ssh from a Windows PC to Linux boxes too. Very nicely documneted tool. See the PuTTY User Manual at:

The other suggestion that I am not seeing here is a software package from WRQ called Reflection X.

While this is a commercial product and would require a monetary investment, it will also allow you to connect directly to the XDMCP session of your Linux box. This would give you the same look and feel as if you were sitting at the terminal.

It is similar to the VNC experience, but since it is logging directly into the X session on the box, there are some distinct differences.

Of course, this means that you will have to allow your Box to accept logins to XDMCP from remote connections which, some would consider a security risk, but that is another story...

You can even use just an X-Server for windows and redirect the display to your workstation. I find this works better as it doesn't use the resource on the server to run X. I use http://www.microimages.com/freestuf/mix/ at home. The after I ssh into the linux host export your display: export DISPLAY=:0.0 then run your program...

Just a thought...
