Access to Linux File System, or Linux itself as a
system. Now Linux, you could access any Linux
system or Unix system through a terminal if you
have a terminal like TeraTerm. So let's look at a
few example of operating systems. Each operating
system has a different protocol or client that is
used to access the system. For example, Windows,
if you wanted to connect a Windows machine from
another Windows machine, you would need a Remote
Desktop Client, which is also referred as RDP
client. You put in the IP address of the machine
that you want to connect to, then it's going to
ask you for username and password, and the next
thing you know you will connect remotely to
another Windows machine. So the client that is
used is called RDP. Next one we have is the VMware
ESXi servers. Now, VMware is a virtualized
environment, how do we connect to it? Well, they
have their vSphere client, that vSphere client is
another client that is installed on your computer,
you open up, you input the IP address, you put his
username and password, and that's where you have,
that's where you connect to VMware environment.
And last one, the one that we really
wanted to know that is Linux. And how do we connect
to our Linux machines? You need to have a Putty
which is a Putty terminal, a SecureCRT terminal
or any of those terminals, whether it's free, or
whether you have to pay for it, you have to use
that. Again, for that you have to put in the
username and the password and the IP address. SSH
from Linux to Linux is also possible. What that
means is if you are already in a Linux or Unix
machine, you can just use SSH protocol or SSH
command, followed by the IP address of your remote
Linux machine and you could connect to it. So
again, I'm going to show you real quick all those
three clients. The first one is the Remote Desktop
Client, this is a client that looks like in
your Windows machine, you could go to Start and
Search and just type remote desktop it will come
up and that's where you put in the computer IP
followed by the username and password. For vSphere
to connect to the vCenter or ESXi server, here's
the VMware vSphere client. And for Linux, we have
this PuTTy client where you put in the IP address
on top. You see the Port is 22, which is the port
for SSH. And then once you connect to it, it will
prompt you for username and password.
