PC Remote Control by Phone or Smartphone

With the current mobile phone or smartphone you can not just connect to the Internet or transferring files, for example, but we can use SSH and VNC to control your computer remotely. First we explain what these two programs, which are very popular in Linux. SSH (Secure Shell) is nothing but a shell on a remote computer where there is obviously a server. The client and the server converse through encrypted data. VNC (Virtual Network Computer) is instead a real window on another remote computer. The principle is simple, we can manage a Linux server through the shell with ssh, or see the entire desktop is Linux and Windows via VNC, the first is recommended by experts, and the second at all, even if you set things up is quite complicated. To communicate the two devices (phone and PC) we need the wap and internet in particular, how to make, however, to show our PC on the web? The answer is simple, just use dyndns,’s subscribe for free and we can have up to 2 names of the third level, for example miocomp.myself.com, so now by entering the name we chose, we can see from the outside pc (dyndns is run many routers). At this point, after you install and configure an SSH server or a VNC server on the remote machine, you can install the client on the phone. There are clients that are based on java, and then fit all the operating systems of mobile phones, this article will mention a ssh client for symbian, symbian for putty (the putty ssh client used by many famous) and vnc viewer for symbian. We saw then how you can administer remote and mobile phone use a smartphone or any server. Today the potential of communications are very high, for example if we had our appliances connected to a web server might with the phone pad and maybe more in the future with the item, give orders to the washing machine or oven, or even operate the blinds or view who is playing the video at home.
