https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php/download:start
Install client relevant for your favourite operating system.
Then create new session(s) as following example:
Propery | Linux value | Windows value | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
Session name | My nice server | My nice server | Name it as you like. |
Server - Host | myniceserver.myproject.customerx.tds.tieto.com | myniceserver.myproject.customerx.tds.tieto.com | FQDN or IP of your server |
Login | <empty> | <empty> | Empty if you use same username on wokrstation and on server, otherwise must be specified here. |
Use RSA/DSA key for ssh connection | <empty> | C:/Users/<username>/.ssh/id_rsa | Linux users usually do not need to enter anything if they use default SSH key locations. Windows users must point to their SSH keys. |
Try auto login (via SSH Agent or default SSH key) | true | true | If you need to use different credentials or password, you need to change this to false. |
Session type | MATE | MATE | Usually MATE is installed on servers as it is lightweight. Anyway in case you have installed different desktop environment on server - you must specify it here. |
