Attempting to understand SSH on Windows 10
Hello everyone, Windows 10 now allows SSH connections. My aim is to start an application on my Windows computer from my phone. I can log into my PC, but launching anything is tricky—I only see a strange process using just 2MB of RAM. When I run the same command in Command Prompt it works perfectly. Any suggestions? Disclaimer: I’m not very experienced with this. Please don’t be rude. Disclaimer#2: My English skills are limited too.
SSH limits you to execute command-line applications since you lack a graphical interface on the remote machine. Programs won't stream their GUI to another device as expected. This behavior mirrors Linux environments where command-line tools exist alongside GUIs. Windows doesn’t support this seamless transition. If you need control over systems without screens or physical access, SSH is your best option. For applications, consider remote desktop solutions. For gaming, use specialized software or Remote Desktop features.
Search for a command line music player. An alternative is the Windows Media Player 12 remote streaming feature. This lets you listen to music from another device and manage playback remotely, such as skipping tracks or pausing.
