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.
