[K12OSN] Logging onto the server from a windows machine

[Joe Guenther]

Pat,

Do you have webmin installed on the server?  This allows you to configure
just about anything on the server.  It also has a file manager so one can
transfer / edit files on the server as well.

Webmin is simply installed .... it turns itself on ... then take a web
browser and go to
https://server.domain.com:10000 ... login and do what you need to.

Is that maybe an option that you could use?

VNC is nice unless the security program on the Windows machine will not
allow you to access anything except certain given file types and those
needed for VNC are not among them.  If I could do it with a browser I
could probably make that work.  If I knew how.
Thanks
Pat
