[solved] remote control server running arch

Hey,
i just recently configured an arch box to provide network storage (samba) and stream music (mpd).

Now i'd like to be able to control the server via command line from Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Arch Linux.
How do i do that? Telnet? SSH?

Thanks.

I use ssh for this job. You can install putty on Windows machines to connect.
The wiki has an article that was sufficient for me to set it up, so I'd recommend reading that first.

Hey...my name  is Damyan-may be similar to your name
You can see this http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH . And after you configure ssh you can for example access the server from Windows via Putty. At work I use my home Arch Linux system via Putty.
