For browsing files on the remote devices, the GNOME desktop has gvfs and fuse built in so that you can create a remote file folder over the network using SMB, ssh or ftp. You mentioned PuTTY. If you want to have consoles set up in advance, you can create a configuration file in your home directory, .ssh/config and specify the username, port, special keys or identies, and much more, looking something like: Host example.com User myname Port 8222 LocalForward 8888 localhost:8888 Then, issuing the command "ssh example.com" will do the equivalent of the command: ssh -p 8022 -L8888:localhost:8888 myname@xxxxxxxxxxx much more can be found by entering 'man ssh' or 'man ssh_config' and far more learned at http://www.openssh.org HTH, -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
