Remote Desktop connection via X2Go
X2Go is a remote Desktop solution, which enables access to a graphical desktop of a computer (low or high bandwidth connection).
Mainly used for remote access to Linux Desktops (X2Go Server). Can connect from a Linux, Windows or Mac OS computer (X2Go Client).
Each user/client has an individual Desktop session by default, so multiple users can access the same X2Go Server at the same time.
Download X2Go Client here: https://wiki.x2go.org/doku.php
- Connect to Concordia VPN
- Connect to X2GO
Session name: (however you want to call it)
Host: neuralabcs02.concordia.ca (or: neuralabcws01, neuralabcws03, neuralabccs01) Login: username SSH port: 22
You can choose between 2 different session types: LXQT and Connect to local desktop
LXQT (Recommended)
Pros:
- You can always continue where you have left off
- Can start a session when logged out of NeuralABC computers
- Less resources are needed
Cons:
- None :)
Connect to local desktop
Pros:
- You can always continue where you have left off
- It will mirror your screen in the lab
Cons:
- You need to be logged in into the computer you want to access in the lab!
- Resolution is not optimal (will use the resolution on your lab monitor)
- Slower than LXQT
- Since everything will be shown on the monitor in the lab, multiple logins to the same computer not possible
- Works well over both low bandwidth and high bandwidth connections
- Disconnect and reconnect to a session, even from another client
- Support for sound
- Support for as many simultaneous users as the computer's resources will support (NX3 free edition limited you to 2.)
- Traffic is securely tunneled over SSH
- File Sharing from client to server
- Easily select from multiple desktop environments (e.g., MATE, GNOME, KDE)
- Remote support possible via Desktop Sharing (See reference)
- Graphical part of remote desktop sessions uses No Machine NX3 technology
