Teamviewer is a screen sharing service where the screen sharing is handled through a middleman. I start teamviewer and give someone a token so that they can access my screen. It works behind masqueraded firewalls.
I don't know what teamviewer does. Can you explain? Particularly in the scenario you are talking about.
In this case someone wants me to connect to teamviewer so that I can access their screen on a windows desktop. Where I can use putty or some other terminal client to access the linux server.
Windows boxes now have ssh. And they can have a large chunk of certain Linux distros. But they do ssh natively out-of-the-box.
True but windows users like to pay for GUI services.
I've only use ssh as a client on Window with Windows. But surely Windows has an ssh server too (what would the shell be? PowerSell? cmd.exe?).
I believe that Windows also has a powershell service that is like SSH. But still this requires some kind of port forward to get through the firewall.
Why would you bounce through a Windows box? Surely Windows is a bad choice for a gateway. Lots of people think Windows boxes are fine:
Its not my choice. I would rather poke myself in the eye than have to deal with a windows server. But I like to eat and that means I need to do what the paying customers want.
1) on a desktop (not me)
2) on a server for services that are designed to run on Windows.
But not a gateway/router.
