Noob question




Posted by gregorym, 06-24-2011, 04:55 AM
Don't laught: Can I use remote desktop control on a cloud instance? I am asking because in my 10 years of having websites I always used Linux, never Windows.... Also if someone can recommand a good cloud provider I'd appreciate that. Looking for great bandwith mainly because I need to be able to transfer stuff fast. Thanks

Yes, a cloud is just a server in a datasheet like any other, you can use SSH, RDP or KVM over IP like you would with any server.

Most cloud you can see your machine desktop/console via the cloud panel, also you can see it via RDP you just need to install the necessary software on linux, on windows you only need to allow rdp on the firewall and activate it on my computer/properties (allow rdp). If you log in as the administrator it will always have rdp permission.
