which app to connect remotely to windows XP inside LAN

[manit123]

hi,
i am using tiny core.
I have windows xp computer in another LAN behind a router .
I used to use team viewer as it has binaries for both windows & linux .
I do not see team viewer here in repo.
IS there any other alternative  ?

[tinypoodle]

Not quite right, teamviewer has proprietary binaries for windows packed and configured with wine.
Has worked for me under core as provided by manufacturer without any effort, not sure what your issue is...

Hi manit123
I use freerdp version 1.0.1 to access a couple of machines running Windows 2008R2.

[manit123]

Can you explain a bit ?
do I have to install wine.tcz ? then what ?

to hero ?
rdp does not work for machines not in same LAN , I have experienced because 192.168.something are internal .

Hi manit123

rdp does not work for machines not in same LAN , I have experienced because 192.168.something are internal .

I take it you were referring to me. Of course RDP works for machines on different LANs, this is how I connect to
a machine several miles away:

Code: [Select]

xfreerdp -u Rich -p Password --plugin cliprdr --plugin rdpdr --data disk:msrb:/home/tc/msrbcusips/templates -- 70.104.175.62 &The router at the other end is setup to forward port 3389 to the 192.168.x.x IP address of the machine I connect to.

[tinypoodle]

No, wine comes bundled in download from manufacturer of teamviewer.

[manit123]

to rich
OK .
Here , I do not have control over router providing LAN at other end . So cannot forward its port to specific machine on network.

to tinypoodle
Teamviewer provides rpm ,deb , tarball . I guess , tarball will work .

[tinypoodle]

After downloading and untarring the tarball, when executing the "teamviewer" script it appeared to do some setting up of wine, but the app did not start.
What resulted in app running was:
"/path/to/wine /unix_style_syntax_path/to/TeamViewer.exe"
Note: best to use tab completion for path as there is that really nasty empty space in "Program Files" which needs to be escaped.
Once the app was running it worked very smoothly, I connected to remote demo system as provided and played with all available options.


Hint: A dir ~/.wine gets created which is of ~500 KB size, one might consider to exclude that from backup.

EDIT:
A look at the (malfunctioning) wrapper scripts "teamviewer" and "wrapper" shows that they are declared as #!/bin/bash
Incidentally I happened to have bash already loaded, not sure if a real requirement or not to run those scripts, but could not harm.

[manit123]

I untarred the teamviewer_linux.tar.gz  in ~ folder

$ tree ~/teamviewer7/
/home/tc/teamviewer7/

I have not installed wine.tcz

:~/teamviewer7/.tvscript$ cat teamviewer
#!/bin/bash

TV_script_dir="$(dirname "$(readlink -f "$0")")"
"$TV_script_dir/wrapper" wine "c:\Program Files\TeamViewer\Version7\TeamViewer.exe" "$@"

true

On running the above script , I get
~/teamviewer7/.tvscript$ ./teamviewer
sh: ./teamviewer: not found

[Rich]

Hi manit123

:~/teamviewer7/.tvscript$ cat teamviewer
#!/bin/bash

sh: ./teamviewer: not found

Did you install bash?

[manit123]

not yet

EDIT
Now I did .
On first run It setup something with wine carafe.

That means , bash is essential.

[manit123]

$ ./teamviewer
TeamViewer: 7.0.9360
Profile: /home/tc (tc)

Checking setup...

Now , what should I do ?

Seems .wine folder wasn't created .

What resulted in app running was:
"/path/to/wine /unix_style_syntax_path/to/TeamViewer.exe"

There is no 'wine' .

Hi manit123
According to tinypoodle wine comes bundled with that package. Open a terminal and enter:

Code: [Select]

find . -iname wine*and see it you get any results.

There is no 'wine' .

Loop mounting extensions under  /tmp/tcloop  is unique to Tinycore. I would not expect to find anything there
from a third party package.

[manit123]

$ find ~ -iname '*wine*'
