I want to develop a program on both Windows and Linux that can use the mouse that's being physically plugged into my machine to control the mouse event in the remote desktop which is a Windows OS.
I am a beginner so I would like to know how will this work, what do I need to learn before I get started.
For now, I am imagining that I need to firstly build a connection between my local device and a server and stay connected during the whole session using some kind of protocol. Then I need to connect my mouse to the remote mouse somehow through the driver? (Correct me if I am wrong).
This question is aimed to get some general idea of what components should this program have and what I have to learn before get started.
Thanks!
I tried to install a hardware I've installed in my previous computer under Windows 7, basically an external network card with antenna, but when I try to use it, after installed it I get this bluescreen error:
BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER
I don't know if it's possible to fix it, any useful information?
PS: If this isn't the best Stack forum, please guide me to the right one.
There is some technical information on Windows Dev Center - Hardware on this bugcheck. Driver developers can find the cause from the bugcheck code and parameters.
I can duplicate the BUGCODE_NDIS_DRIVER blue screen on my Windows 8.1 developer box fairly easily by opening two different VPN tunnels. Luckily, I don't need both running at the same time, so my solution is "don't do that".
For example, I open SonicWALL Global VPN Client to connect to one network. Then, I open the Cisco VPN client to connect to another. The crash happens almost immediately.
If you have two active network card, deactivate one, that is all.
Almost all the code I write is usually run on a high-performance server. Lately I've been just remotely coding via NoMachine NX (similar to VNC) remote desktop and the latency in scrolling through code and typing has become unbearable.
Is there any suggestions on how I can setup a folder locally which syncs with the high-performance server every time I save a file? Something similar to Dropbox but I can apply to any folder.
Needs to work with Mac OS X and Linux Ubuntu.

You don't want this. What you should do instead is use a DVCS on both sides, and then push the changes to the server once they've been tested. A makefile can help with the actual push action (among others).
Mount the remote drive on your local machine.
If your working machine is osx and you don't feel confident with the terminal then http://panic.com/transmit/ might be a good solution.
I connected two laptops using a cross-over cable. My IP Address is 192.168.1.1 and the other IP Address is 192.168.1.16. We both are able to ping each other and the reply is perfect. There is no loss of packets.
The problem is I shared a file and the other system is not able to open my IP Address using the run command. Even I am not able to open my Shared folder by giving in the run (\\192.168.1.1). A dialogue box with the message \\192.168.1.1, The Network Path was not found opens each time we try this.
But I am able to open his shared folder by giving in run command (\\192.168.1.16). I closed all the firewall services in my system. But still my system is not able to respond. Also we are not able to use remote desktop connection.
Can anyone please help me in solving this?
Additional Details: I use Windows XP and the other machine uses Windows 7. We both are in the same work group.
Here are some steps to solve your problem:
Did you set the static IP by yourself or that come automatically?
If yes then please go and set the IP manually
Then share the file and put the permission of that file to Maximum (If you believe your partner)
Then power down the firewall or antivirus for some moments (say 10 minutes)
Now try to connect using the \192.xxx.xxx.xxx method using the Run window
If the 5th step is not working, then try disabling and reenabling the LAN card, then try the 5th step again.
Hope that solved your problem.
Remote Desktop needs to be explicitly enabled. Right click on "My computer", go to properties and look at the remote settings tab.
I advice you to use Radio Access Point to connect both windows 7 and windowsXP. I think this is best choice of troubleshoting jaringan. why?
Because I already do anything to connect both Operating System but can't solve that problem.

I'm a blind student currently in a system admin/shell programming class. Although ssh works fine for executing commands like ls, pwd, etc editors do not work well with my screen reader and an ssh session. I was wondering if it is possible to mount a Linux folder over ssh so it appears as a windows drive? This way I could edit any files I needed to with accessible software and not have to constantly use SCP to send files back and fourth.
Back in 2002, Novell developed some software called NetDrive that can map a WebDAV, FTP, SFTP, etc. share to a windows drive letter. It is now abandonware, so it's no longer maintained (and not available on the Novell website), but it's free to use. I found quite a few available to download by searching for "netdrive.exe" I actually downloaded a few and compared their md5sums to make sure that I was getting a common (and hopefully safe) version.
Update 10 Nov 2017
SFTPNetDrive is the current project from the original netdrive project. And they made it free for personal use:
We Made SFTP Net Drive FREE for Personal Use
They have paid options as well on the website.
Dokan looks like a FUSE and sshfs implementation for Windows. If it works as expected and advertised, it would do exactly what you are looking for.
(Link updated and working 2015-10-15)
The best an easiest solution I found is https://github.com/billziss-gh/sshfs-win, connected servers shows up as a fully functioning network drives. This is not a 'Dokany' or 'dokan' based solution which from experiance seems more stable and performant, also see WinFsp Performance Testing.
Please note previously this answer stated, https://github.com/Foreveryone-cz/win-sshfs and before that http://www.swish-sftp.org/ but I no longer use any of them, first one stopped working second one created drives not fully supported in all programs.
Another, more Windows-y option (for $39) is http://www.expandrive.com/sftpdrive
Take a look at CIFS (http://www.samba.org/cifs/). It is a virtual file system you can run on your linux machine that will allow you to mount folders on your linux machine in windows using SMB.
CIFS on linux information can be found here: http://linux-cifs.samba.org/
You need to mount a remote share on your windows machine. This is what Samba/smb is for.
What you'll be doing is turning your Linux box into an SMB server, which lets it share files in a way that plays nice with Windows.
If you're not on the same network, you'll need to tunnel this through your SSH connection which may not be worth the effort.
check out Dokan
https://dokan-dev.github.io/
it's iffy, but it works, and it's free
I don't think you can mount a Linux folder as a network drive under windows having only access to ssh. I can suggest you to use WinSCP that allows you to transfer file through ssh and it's free.
EDIT: well, sorry. Vinko posted before me and now i've learned a new thing :)
Apparently the free NetDrive software from Novell can access SFTP file servers.
Second David's answer below: I needed to mount a network drive automatically when users logged in. Dokan SSHFS is a nice tool, but wasn't reliable enough in this case. The copy of Netdrive I found didn't support SSHFS or sftp - not sure if a more recent one does.
The solution I'm trialling now involves adding a virtual network adapter (with file sharing disabled), using plink to open a tunnel via the new adapter to the remote machine running SAMBA, and mounting the network drive against the new adapter. There's another useful tutorial here http://www.blisstonia.com/eolson/notes/smboverssh.php.
The tunnel and network drive can be set up with a login script, so a few seconds after login users can use the mapped drive without needing to take any action.
