Remote Access Services are used to connect to the remote systems in a network. Remote access connection from outside the realm of the client and server machines to the network is usually made via a telephone and modem connection. The efficiency of the remote connection depends on the network efficiency and the type of service used. An attempt to improve the remote access servers is continuously made to assist users in connecting to more resources remotely.

By default, the remote access services function in a non-secure environment. To function in a secure environment, enable the Kerberos V5 network authentication. In a non-secure environment, you must have a login name and password to access a remote system, and the login name is not checked for authentication and authorization. In a secure environment, you need not have a login name and password. When you attempt to connect to a remote system, the Kerberos protocol checks if the user is allowed to access the remote system.

Remote access services allow you to perform different functions, such as file transfer from a remote system to a local system, remote login, and remote file copy.

The remote access services provided by the HP-UX 11i v2 operating system are as follows:

  • R-commands

  • The telnet program

  • File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
