How to access a Windows CLI from Linux shell?

Question

Hi.. I know that you can SSH or Telnet to another Linux machine FROM a linux machine, but is there a standard way to connect to a Windows PC from Linux, to get access to its command line?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Telnet and SSH is also possible from Linux via terminal

However Telnet is not advised because no encryption is present

Telnet is included in Windows by default no need extra software

To use SSH you have to download a SSH software for Windows and Windows machine

Just try OpenSSH for Windows

Set the firewall on windows to allow the connections

Answer 2

Telnet or FTP. Also, look at your question and realize that you cannot "get access" to the other command line, but rather access the computer's resources.

Answer 3

You need a telnet service for the PC, I found a free one here, http://www.kpym.com/en/Overview.htm.  

Telnet service has been included on Windows server since Server 2000 came out, to start, type "net start telnet" from command line on the server.
