How can i access remote desktop Xubuntu from Ubuntu14

Question

i have server that works on xubuntu. How can i access it from my laptop that runs Ubuntu?

Answer 1

I would use ssh to remote control your server instead of remote desktop. Install ssh on your server open up a terminal on your server.

sudo apt-get install openssh-server

on your Ubuntu client open up a terminal and type in.

ssh -X 'username'@serverip 

The -X forwards the x11 request so if you want to open file manager you just type in thunar and it will forward the -X 11 request to your computer and then you will be able to view file and fodders on the server.
