Welcome to NETVN channel
Someone commented wanting to know how to remotely access files on his computer
And I will do it in this video
The target computer is installed with Windows 11 operating system
First of all I installed OpenSSH server on Windows 11 operating system
On Windows 10 operating system you can also install Open SSH Server
OpenSSH server can be installed using the command line but perhaps using the graphical interface is easier for everyone
By default, the OpenSSH server is off on your computer so I started it up
I set up the OpenSSH server service to start automatically with the Windows operating system
To remotely access this computer using SSH you need to set up a password for your computer
If you don't have one on your computer, create one
My target computer doesn't have a password yet so I create one
This password will be used for remote access using SSH and you should create a strong password to protect your files
In order to be able to access it remotely via the internet I forward the port on the router
Before forwarding the port on the router I need to set up a static ip address for the target computer
Port forwarding on the router requires my computer to have a static ip address set up
In this example I set the static ip address for the Windows 11 computer to 10.11.32.84
Next I set up port forwarding on the router
SSH service uses port 22 so I forward this port to the target computer's static ip address
Port forwarding makes it possible for the remote computer to ssh to the target computer over the internet
Here I forward port 22 to ip address 10.11.32.84
If your public address is static then skip the DuckDNS configuration step
But my public ip address is dynamic so i use duck dns service to update public ip every time it changes
This is the domain name I will use
I use my Google account to login to DuckDNS, then create a new domain name, then map this domain to my public ip address
Next I installed DuckDNS client
This client is responsible for updating the public ip address every time it changes
DuckDNS will then map the changed public ip address to the domain name
DuckDNS application requires the target computer to have Java installed
So if your computer does not have Java installed, please install it
After installing the necessary components I will set up the DuckDNS client
For this client you update your domain name
Then you update the token, each DuckDNS account has a different token
If you update the correct information, it will let you know the setup was successful
Then your public ip address will be updated automatically thanks to DuckDNS client
From the beginning of the video so far a lot of settings have been created on the target computer so for those settings to be applied I restarted the computer
I enter the new password created in the previous step to log in to the computer
And that's all the steps to do on the target Windows 11 computer
Now I will access the files of the target computer with another computer through the internet. On the remote computer I install the WinSCP application
Remote desktop you can use different operating system versions like Windows 10, Windows 11 or Windows 7
If you own a static public address you can use it for remote access
But I don't have static public ip address so I use domain name for remote access to files on target computer
Next you enter the username and password that has been set up on the target computer
And here is the result, I can access any file on the target computer
I can access different partitions, even system folders of Windows 11
Therefore, you should set up a strong password to prevent others from accessing your important files
With WinSCP you can upload and download files between two computers
Hope this helps you
