Teamviewer

Has anyone had any success using remoting programs such as teamviewer from their mobile phone? I tried with my Excaliber today but it wasnt quite working. Id like to be able to access my home computer via my device...tell me any success stories or hints you may have

there's no TeamViewer for mobile..
but you can use z2remote2pc.. works for me

There are plenty of programs you can use for remote desktop purposes, although nothing (AFAIK) like TeamViewer (so you'll have to make sure that the server has an an open port)
There are plenty of VNC programs like:
- Mocha VNC (can connect to Real/Ultra/Tight/OSX VNC and Apple Remote Desktop)
http://www.mochasoft.dk/vncce.htm
- .NET VNC Viewer (Freeware)
http://dotnetvnc.sourceforge.net
And if you want to use the Remote Desktop protocol:
- Mocha Remote Client
You may also use the Terminal Services Client if your pocket pc has it (Check under programs).

oh wow, I didn't realize how many options there'd be, thanks for the insight guys!

logmein.com
try logmein.com
it works fine for me...

hi
all are trail version
any way to get wifi remort acees 1.7 software where we can access windowxp home and pc also
advance thanks

There is a beta version of TeamViewer for Android which can be downloaded from the TeamViewer website.

I just downloaded it... it works awesome.... Make sure teamviewer version 6 is also installed on your computer. Very easy to login. For I.T. , you can actually troubleshoot and reboot computer remotely.

Is not working anymore, and not available from the market, anybody knows what happened?

don't know about the market, but you can download it directly from webpage of TV:
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/index.aspx
anyway it works i've tested it over wifi and 3g and connections seems to be ok

Remote Desktop

Has anyone been able to get remote desktop to xp home working? I can vnc to my ubuntu desktop but cant connect to my xp netbook. Tried tightvnc and ultra vnc on the netbook but neither worked for me. I could be setting the server up wrong though.
Thanks

Hi,
If you really mean "remote desktop" to WinXP Home, I don't think XP Home has terminal services (only XP Pro does, I think).
You can try the pocketcloud free trial on market. That supports both VNC and RDP protocols, but the trial version only allows you to set up one computer at a time.

I guess remote desktop viewing would the more generic term.
My understanding is that tight VNC and ultra VNC both add this functionality to windows XP home. I've got two VNC apps that work well on the gtab as viewers (i can remote view my ubuntu desktop). It was easy to set up, but then again ubuntu comes native with VNC support out of the box.
Just wondering if anyone has had experience running TightVNC or UltraVNC servers on XP successfully.

VNC has no encryption, keep in mind (password and data flow in the clear). There are ways to add encryption, but it may not be a free solution.
I used to add VNC to Windows some years back, but layered it with SSH to add the encryption layer.

I use xtralogic remote desktop. Seems to work pretty good.

I have Ultra vnc server on one of my XP Home machines, and it works fine. Maybe the XP firewall is blocking the incoming connection? You can turn off the firewall temporarily to test.

Xtralogic remote desktop is the best rdp software for android. Uses the screen like a touchpad and follows the mouse.

best remote software by far is LogMeIn i love it and use it every day, not only does it work computer to computer but works very well from g tablet to my home machines, you can install the free version on the computer than get the logmein app which does cost something not sure exactly what since i got it a while back, just google search it in the market. cant hurt to buy it and try it if you dont like it just return it in 24 hours

Figured it out. Port forwarding is kind of flaky on my router and it takes it a couple trys before the setting will stick.

Remote desktop control for ubuntu

I would like to control my ubuntu desktop from the Transformer. Does anyone use RDP or some other service like logmein with ubuntu with an android client?
I've tried Teamviewer, which is great, but the free version disconnects after 5 min.

Have you tried a VNC client? Ubuntu has a VNC server build in (called probably Remote Desktop - you can find and configure it in preferences).

I wish splashtop would put out a Linux client. I'd install unity and use splashtop. That'd be fantastic.

I have it installed through WINE but doubt it will work. I installed it for test but didn't have time to really check if it works (or to uninstall even though it starts every time I use WINE and adds an icon to window tray and pisses me off).
I added a request too, but no one probably read it there: http://support-remote.splashtop.com/entries/20010287-ubuntu-version-of-streamer

Have you tried android-vnc-viewer?

PocketCloud works well and there is no time limit. The free version only allows you to add one server though. You need to enable the built in remote sharing in Ubuntu.

I use PocketCloud on my phone without issue, but I cannot use it effectively from the Eee Pad with VNC servers. RDP works fine but VNC doesn't allow me to select the keyboard ever and the mouse pointer is always about a cm to the left of the touch pointer. Been very annoying; since it's a rather expensive app I will surely be pursuing support from Wyse.

did you try holding down the touch pointer thing? I think its designed such that you can still see the pointer when you move via dragging the circle around. Holding down the circle should bring up the menu where you can select the keyboard

[APP] SysLogcat [New!]

SysLogcat sends your Android log entries to your Syslog (RSyslog, SyslogNG, etc.) server. Great for extended debugging in Android App and ROM development. Flexible filter options give you fine-grained control over output, and the built-in monitor lets you watch what's being sent in real time.
It's free!

I'm assuming your PC is running Windows. Make sure your Syslog server is running and listening on UDP port 514 (the standard), and that you've opened that port in your Windows Firewall. If it's a Windows service, go into your Administrative Tools / Services snap-in and make sure it's started. Then put your PC's IP Address into SysLogcat and tap "Save and Start". Also, make sure you have your phone's Wifi turned on. If you have a custom ROM / kernel on your phone Android Logcat may be disabled by default, in which case you need to find out how to enable it. I know that for Talon you would enter "<path to logcat-enable>/logcat-enable" in an Android Terminal app (free on the Market).
Which Syslog server did you install on your PC? Cygwin / Syslog-ng?

I just installed Star Syslog on my Windows PC to verify that SysLogcat would work with Windows, and discovered that Windows does not respond to an ICMP Echo request by default, which I use to verify that the address entered in SysLogcat is reachable. I am adding an option to bypass this check, and will upload it to the Android Market shortly.
Sorry for the inconvenience! I only tested this with Linux previously. You can enable ICMP Echo in Windows by installing the "Simple TCPIP feature" under "Programs and Features / Turn Windows features on or off". You have to manually start the service unless you re-boot.

The one I installed is called solar winds logforwarder.

Well, that might be the problem... SolarWinds Log Forwarder sends Windows Event Log entries to a Syslog server. It is not a Syslog server in and of itself. In SysLogcat you want to enter the address of the endpoint Syslog server itself.
If you want to forward Windows Event Log entries, you might also check out Snare for Windows.

For Windows, SolarWinds has the Kiwi Syslog Server (get the free version, not the evaluation version unless you want to pay for it). Star Syslog is another really basic one that's free. Cygwin / Syslog-ng works well, but is harder to set up and you would have to come up with a way to actually view the log. Beyond that I really don't know since I've always used a dedicated Linux box for that.
You could always use MS Hyper-V or Oracle Virtual Box to fire up a copy of Ubuntu on Windows and use that for Syslog.

I'm pretty sure Ubuntu installs rsyslog daemon by default, but if not you can install it from the Synaptic Package Manager gui. Default settings are fine. You also might want a gui-based log viewer, so install "Log File Viewer" (or one of the others) from Synaptic if it's not already installed.

Cool thanks, I'll check into that.

Does anybody has this problem, too?
after some minutes my Kiwi Syslog Server does not receive any message anymore.
I have to push "save and restart" in syslogcat to get new messages.
I do not have any auto taskkiller or so on my desire. The android 2.3.4 built in task manager still shows Syslogcat.

Thanks for that

[APP][2.1+] SSH Server - SFTP, SCP, multiple users, per user public key auth, no root

To start, this is not yet another SSH Server, it is more complete compared to other SSH daemons available. But of course that's up to you to decide.
Run multiple SSH Servers at the same time and have multiple users with public key authentication! No root is needed!
Here some cool features:
- Multiple users support
- Every user can have a password and/or public key for authentication
- For every user you can set a root directory, allow write access and force stay in the root directory for use in SFTP
- Optionally only allow access from certain IP's
- For every user (dis)allow X11, agent forwarding, inbound connections, outbound connections
- Run multiple SSH and/or telnet servers at the same time
- If you add a telnet server you can even optionally run it over SSL/TLS
- Support for Dynamic DNS so you can always access your server
- Set authorization timeout, idle timeout, maximum authorization requests, maximum concurrent sessions per user
And some more general features:
- Free
- Extensive logging
- Start on boot
- Start/stop on connect/disconnect WIFI network
- The servers can be accessed from the web (for example through your 3G connection) if supported by your mobile network
Notes:
- The Shell access only works on ARM devices, however, SFTP and SCP access works on all devices.
- When you type exit the users session shell will stop but the connection will stay open, untill you close it. That's a little bug we are working on, scroll down if you want to help Normally you wouldn't notice this small problem.
SSH Server can be found on Google Play:
SSH Server on Play
FAQ
How can I get a public key?
Use puttygen to generate a public and private key. Import the public key in SSH Server and use the private key on your side (for example with putty). For more help just ask here.
How come I can't run a server on a port below 1024?
That is a limitation of Android. However, you can try out our app Port Forwarder Ultimate which allows you to access the server on a port below 1024! So you can for example run it on port 22.
If you want to help fix the last bug in the app please continue reading:
The problem:
Typing exit in the shell doesn't close the connection but only the shell. If you close the shell connection everything will be stopped, so it's not a big bug since the app works just fine with it.
How come we can't fix it:
We can detect when the connection is closed, and when that happens we close the sessions shell (if it's still open) using the PID of the process. However, we cannot check whether the process is still running from java android code using the PID. We don't want to run a linux command, we want to check whether the process is still running from pure java (using the PID) since everything works from java. So if you know how to accomplish this please post a reply.
Feedback and questions are welcome so we can improve the app! If you need help, also just post a reply
Thanks.

Looks awesome! Much nicer feature set than other available SSH servers I've used. I know it's a feature to not need root, but would you consider adding in a root option to use port 22? Makes SSH and SCP much easier to use when you don't need to specify the port on the command-line or in a configuration file.

Ah, good questions, I forgot to add it to the description. The SSH server is fully functioning from java so it works on almost all devices but as you know it also has the limitation that only ports above 1024 can be used. However, I have also released a separate app called Ports Forwarder Ultimate which allows you to forward port 22 to for example 2222 internally. It uses iptables to do so and need a rooted phone.
Port Forwarder Ultimate on Play
Let me know whether that works. I would also appreciate it if you could leave a review on Play or maybe let me know what you are still missing

Hi! Thanks for this great app. I was looking for a multi-user SSH server and I think I got it!
I would like to use your "Force stay in document root" functionality but when I log in with the user I created it does not put me in the right directory (it keeps me in / instead of say /data/local/tmp/user1) and of course I can browse everywhere.
It may be because the app does not have the right to go there? I may try on the sdcard as well?
Thanks.

To be honest, I finally chose to use the dropbear ssh server that gave me everything I needed from the command line (not an app), but I need root access...

SSH Server also supports root, just change the custom shell start command to /system/bin/su and the app will request root for the shell. Or type su during a session and the shell session will get root.
And if the problem is using a port below 1024 just try Port Forwarder Ultimate (a free app) which can link port 22 to a port above 1024 (which the server is running on).
Are you missing other features as well?

Is anyone else using the app? Does it work ok?

No feedback?

I used your app on a MINIX Neo X5, but it had problems with the auto start (even after changing the auto start options)... Any ideas?

very nice app!
Hi,
I've been using this app recently and like it a lot. I especially like the fact you allow to start the app even if our networking is turned off.
Most other server apps refuse to start when wifi is off, but in my case I often do bluetooth tethering between my laptop and my phone, with all networks off, and this app works! Or I sometimes test by ssh to localhost while in airplane mode. So thank you for allowing the server to start without insisting that network is on, so we have a choice to do what we want to do!
The info button is also fantastic, since tells me all IP addresses on the phone, including the bluetooth tethering IP, as well as the public IP if I'm in a NAT environment! Other apps only tell you your wifi IP and perhaps your mobile network IP, but nothing more.
I also like that you have the option to keep the screen turned on, as well as the scp support (most other ssh apps only have sftp for file transfer).
Finally, the live logging, showing you good and bad password attempts, color coded, as well as the option to vibrate on connection are very cool.
What can I say, I am very impressed, please keep it up! I considered your Ultimate Servers but it's more than I need, and requires too many permissions, so I will keep using your SSH Server app and recommending it to my friends!
One suggestion I have, is maybe you could change the notification icon color when a connection is active, so we can quickly see from the notification bar while the app is in the background, if someone is currently connected.

thanks for a very usefull app
now I can transfer files easily between my pc and my phone (using scp) or have a terminal on my phone with the user interface on the pc (keyboard, screen, mouse, etc ...) (using ssh)
just wanted to say thanks

Remote Commands
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm having issues with remote commands.
Getting a shell is no issue, but when I use SSH to issue a remote command, putty or the Debian SSH client errors out. Any idea what I can do to fix that?
Everything else works perfect on my Minix Neo X7.
Thanks for the awesome work!
