JFrog Connect’s Remote Access tool enables you to connect remotely to the local network port of your Linux edge device and forward connections such as VNC, SSH, a web-view server, and other port-forwarding tools.
The Connect documentation provides example procedures for opening a remote access session using VNC, SSH, and a web-view server.
For using a remote SSH session, you will need ssh-client installed on the device.
Depending on which port forwarding tool you use, you may need additional third-party software installed on your edge device.
Tip: No ports need to be open on the device or the firewall for remote access to work.
To start a remote access session, do the following:
Go to Remote Access and choose the device and port you would like to forward. The port will depend on the method of port forwarding you use, for example, VNC, SSH, or Web View.
(Optional) Mark Allowed IP and enter an IP address. The port will be accessible only from this IP address. If you do not mark this, the allowed IP will be your current IP address.
Click Open Session. Wait until Connect produces the Remote Access Address and copy it to your clipboard
See an example of port forwarding with VNC.
