Q: Wich programs can I use in order to manage a Nylux device from a remote pc?

A:  Every Nylux device is equiped with SSH (SCP/SFTP) and VNC servers. This means that from every kind of pc (Windows, Linux or Mac) you can use severals utilities (open source, free, etc.) that allow you to connect and manage the Nylux device remotely.

For Windows platforms, among all the availables we remind as more used the followings:

• WinSCP (http://winscp.net/eng/download.php): allows Nylux filesystem's management (files creation/cancellation/copy/etc.), files transmission (in both directions), files editing, and other useful functionalities.
• Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html):  allow the user to open a remote console on the connected Nylux device, like using Xterm utility directly on Nylux (but with a more confortable keyboard and a larger display). This console can be used to launch commands and scripts located on the connected device (i.e. install.sh or localInstall.sh scripts). The more experienced administrators can also make all the operations we have see for WinSCP and much more, but without a graphical interface. Putty's full package also includes severals useful command line utilities that works on SCP/SFTP protocols connection.
• VNC viewer Free Edition (http://www.realvnc.com/products/download.html): allow the user to control the connected device using a window (on the pc) in wich the user can see the remote device's desktop, synchronized almost in real time. The user can also interact with the remote desktop using the local windows. Even if the standard Nylux's configuration provide a VNC server, by default that server is disabled: before to run VNC viewer program on the pc, the user needs to launch VNC server on the mobile device, using the “x11vnc &” command (without quotes). Please note that is possible to launch VNC server automatically on Nylux startup changing properly the system's configuration.

NOTE: both WinSCP and Putty programs use encrypted communication protocols, in order to ensure data security while connected to a Nylux device.

Regarding Linux and Mac personal computers, the most recent versions of both platforms usually integrate by default an SSH (SCP/SFTP) client, that enables the user to do the operations mentioned above without installing external applications. We suggest in this case to read the documentation provided with the used operative system.
