Connecting to a solaris machine using XManager

I believe Xmanager to be the best XWindows remote desktop solution available as of now.

 

Here's how I connect to my solaris machines:

 

• Start Xbrowser
• Click on New toolbar icon - > New session wizard
• Select Xstart and click next
• Type in your host IP and select telnet as your protocol (if that is what you are using …. Which is generally the case from intranet applications)
• Type in your username and password
• Select 4 Xterm (Solaris). This will export your display to the terminal and start an xterm session. (cool stuff)
• Click next and click finish.

 

 

Now you can even export this connection to your desktop.

 

Enjoy!
