Mapping software
-
Again, I am TOTALLY New on this Hardware Support issues. Company bought a new server (Linux) and we are trying to install some application on it but the most important of all is that we need to rn the applications onthe server and then access them on the client machines. I think they call it mapping. Anyone know how I can do that. Please help. I am a lost software developer in Hardware

I'm not sure that I understand what your asking. If you need to install/copy files onto the Linux server and then access them from Windows then perhaps your looking for SAMBA[^] which will allow you to provide file and print services to SMB/CIFS clients. This software will allow you to map Linux files/drives onto Windows. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

This sounds like you will be utilizing the multi-user support of the X-Windows-System. There are two possible solutions: The first option is similar to using RDP to connect to a Windows Terminal Server -> On the local clients, a window will show a desktop on the server, which they can use as they wish. The second option resembles the XP-Mode in Weven -> On the local clients, they click a shortcut. The shortcut then executes as a seperate Windows, with no obvious "foreign system". Both are handled by the X Window System. The difference: You can simply send the output of a local application to a foreign X-Server (the second option) or start a seperate desktop manager for every user (the first option). Look up: XDCP (one of the protocols used) X Window System (how to configure) Cygwin (as a local X-Server for your clients)
