Remote Desktop
From PHASTA Wiki
if you want to work with solidworks or NX remotely, you need to access the windows machines. For that open an ssh connection by:
ssh -L3389:lab3:3389 username@jumpgate-phasta.colorado.edu
Then start remote desktop connection application/program from your laptop/PC. Put "localhost" in the Computer name and then press okay. Username is your username of the system, password is your main password (not VNC) and Domain is PHASTA.
Alternatively, it is possible to connect to a windows machines from within a VNC session. In a terminal, type
rdesktop -g [x resolution]x[y resolution] -x lan lab3
where "x resolution" and "y resolution" correspond to the desired window size. For example, rdesktop -g 1600x980 -x lan lab3
will yield a 1600x980 window.
