You can use ssh and telnet for this also.

You can't transfer files with ssh or telnet. Both of those just give a remote shell. You can use sftp though. Here is a windows sftp client..

You may already have ssh/sftp running on your computer by default. Issue this command and post the output.

ps -ax | grep ssh

SSH is already running on your computer. Thats a good start..

Does this computer have a public IP address? Or do you have this computer behind a NATed router?


You should be able to download putty when your at the remote windows computer. Run putty.exe then put a dot in "SSH". Put in the IP address of your computer and connect. As long as there arn't any firewalls in place you should get a login pompt.

A linux box is any computer running a linux distrobution, and yes it is possible to run ftp, infact most of the internet is run on linux and almost all of them have some sort of ftp accessablity.
