the best way to remote use of real os4 machine ?

I hope that someone will port anydesk to OS4... I use it for many pc's lan/wan side old pc's new pc's never got an issue ;)

Saw your post.  Please see your messages.

Barrier?

The question is: How hard would it be to port AND who wants to
do it? Is it even open source? (/me knows nothing about it)
Is it peer to peer or do we need a client & server?

;D

Thanks,

PJS

Barrier is a fork of Synergy 1.9. Before Synnergy went commercial.

Coming back this thread to the part initial question.

Is there a SSH server for AmigaOs 4?

@MigthyMax

I'd like to know too.

i know theres openssh on the depot, but is there some kind of ssh device one could use?

simply adding and using ssh: from shell would be most welcome

thank you

It is open source, although has been succeeded by Input Leap now.

@MartinW I like a lot Barrier.
But is it compatible with Synergy of OS4?

@vagappc yes, it is - I am back to using it now as I have finally got the space to have two monitors set up. So I have Barrier on my Mac and Synergy client on the X5000. There is more than one synergy client and only one worked for me. I will boot the machine up in a bit and edit my response with which on it is that works.

There was mention somewhere (I forget where) of a new fork from Barrier called Input Leap. For now at least, stick with Barrier v2.4.0 as Input Leap says it's not compatible with Synergy. I don't know if that means it's not compatible with the old Synergy that we use or the newer synergy that they moved to.

I've been using MkShare since a looong time now (now mainly between my X1000 and my Sam460), without almost any trouble (sometimes, after a copy&paste the pointer will refuse to go to the client screen and will stay stuck in beteween for a moment).

May I ask if it will ever be possible to have wheel support in the 68k version (I know it's an extra but it would be really useful for my 68k FPGA Replay)?

Glad you've been making good use of MKShare.

That annoying bug has been fixed for a while now, send me an email at andy@broad.ology.org.uk and I'll send the latest builds through to you.

I guess I would need to map them to up and down keys or some such as there is no IECLASS_MOUSEWHELL, maybe if I get a moment.....

@broadblues

Not sure if this makes any sense, but since the "new" tankmouse has some sort of wheel support...and there is a 68K driver, would that not be usable?

@MartinW

Hi Martin,

Would it be possible to have a picture or a video, to see what it looks like?

I have a X5000 and a Mac I would like to be able to remotely use my X5000.

@skynet

Sorry, I'm lost - what do you want a picture of? My desk with two monitors and a single keyboard / mouse? That seems somewhat pointless. Or some particular settings of one of the bits of software?

Admittedly I never went into the X5000 and worked out which Synergy client it was as I got distracted.

@MartinW

Maybe I misunderstood what it was about.

I thought it was the same principle as on Mac with screen sharing.

@skynet OK, now I get the confusion

Confusion entirely caused by me, sorry! - Kas1e originally asked for the best way to remote desktop an Amiga machine, and yes, that would be like the screen share feature in Mac. For that you need things like VNC. I don't know the answers here as I don't do it. I believe I tried it, but it wasn't quick enough for me and I didn't like it.

I went a bit off topic and asked about sharing the keyboard / mouse between two systems which is something different really. That is where we have two physically unique monitors, presumably sat next to each other. One the Mac / Pc, the other the X5000 and just one keyboard and mouse. When you move your mouse from, say, the edge of the Mac screen onto the X5000 screen, the control seamlessly goes with it. This is more like continuity, when you have an iPad next to a laptop for example. For this we have MKShare client / server, or Barrier / Synergy client / server, and probably others too. IMO, this works well.

@all

What's the performance like of VNC on other platforms? I've always found it to be rather sluggish. Are there any implementations out there that are fast enough that it's comfortable to use (as in no large latency or slow refreshes)?

Hans

IMO, no, they’re all sluggish. But maybe I have too high of an expectation!

I use for OS4 RVNCd but I prefer use xrdp server on Linux and Client RDP on Amiga.
The second solution it's more fast

That's been my experience too. Yet, remote desktop is big business, and Real VNC is sporting big corporate logos in their customers list, such as Philips, Intel, Dreamworks, Shell, NASA, and IBM. If the experience is as bad as we've experienced, then why would these companies pay to use it? It's a bit confusing...
