Thanks for the help!
But... if the file program.exe is on /var/foldername, i will do:

$ wine programname.exe var/foldername
or
$ wine program.exe var/foldername/program.exe?

And.. how do i close the application that i opened?

Thanks.
Bye!

You said you wanted to open a file...if you just want to run a
program, it's 'wine program.exe'

Sorry, i'm a damn newba, when talking about terminal  [Laughing] .

Just as you would in windows. Close the program.

And, can i open .bat files with Wine, eh?

'wine cmd.exe' should support them. Complex .bat scripts may not work
as intended.

Is there any command? Because i will open it remotely, with Putty, no graphical things, hehe.

So i can do:
$ cd /var/foldername
$ wine program.bat ?

Thanks!

Wine requires X to run.

$ cd /var/foldername

Not quite...you'd need to use:
$ wine start program.bat

SSH's X11 forwarding combined with a Windows X server, such as XMing
should work.

Look under the SSH -> X11 section in the PuTTY configuration.

Note: It might need some changes to the sshd_config.

You install that on the server. You may want a virtual X server. I
have no time to go into the details of that though.

Wine requires X to run.

... or you can use VNC provided you have either vncviewer or Java
installed on your Windows PC. If Java, you need a browser that can run
Java applets, e.g. FireFox.

T start VNC, login to the directory that contains WINE with PuTTY, run:
vncserver

and make a note of the desktop number it says it will use (usually 1).
You can logout from PuTTY or not, as you please.

If you have vncviewer, start it:

vncviewer

When prompted, enter "hostname:n" where 'n' is the desktop number.
Now it will prompt for the password for the login where you ran
vncserver. When that's accepted it will open a desktop for your remote
host.

Alternatively, fire up your web browser and type in the url
"hostname:580n" where 'n' is the desktop number (usually 1). The browser
will show a VNC banner page and pop yo a dialogue box showing
"hostname:n". Click OK and another popup appears, asking for the login
where you ran vncserver. When that's accepted it will open a desktop for
your remote host.

To close either desktop, click its 'close' icon. You can leave vncserver
running and close and reopen the desktop as many times as you want.

vncserver will keep running until you either reboot the host or login
again via PuTTY and stop it by running:

vncserver -kill :n

where 'n' is the desktop number.

VNC's desktop defaults to xfce and opens a terminal window on starting,
where you can type the wine command, etc. When an app wants to open a
window, a ghost window trails from the mouse pointer: click where you
want to put its top left corner on the VNC desktop. If you like VNC but
not xfce, you can configure it to use Gnome or KDE instead, but two
thinks to note: (1) accept the default desktop size and (2) you'll find
the colours are relatively poor because VNC only uses 16 bit colour.

T start VNC, login to the directory that contains WINE with PuTTY, run:
vncserver

I went to the directory(cd usr/lib/wine) with Putty, but when i did vncserver:
Command not found.
Do i need to write anything, not only vncserver?

Thanks.

Then its probably not installed on your linux server. Your distro
should have this.

It sounds as if it isn't installed by default on your distro, so you'll
need to install them. If your package installer doesn't let you figure
out the package names yourself, ask on a support forum for your distro.

In Fedora distros you need the vnc and vnc-server packages but I don't
know what other Linuxes would call them. When you find out, post the
package names here so others, as well as myself, will know what to
install for your distro.

Ok, i started VNC server..
"New 'X' desktop is blabla.bla-:1
Starting applications specified in /etc/x11/xsession
log file is root/.vnc/blablabla:1.log".

But when i try to connect with VNC Viewer, i got the following error:
"unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)".
(I tried to log with IP:1)
The host provider(where i bought the server) said that all ports are opened
Didn't find anything good related to it on internet, does anyone had this error, or know how to solve?

Thanks.
Bye!

Have you got the firewall running on Linux? If so, it is probably
blocking the ports used by Xvnc, the server started by the vncserver
script. Xvnc listens on:

- 590x for vncviewer
- 580x for the Java applet

where x is the desktop number. In case you didn't realize, you can leave
more than copy of Xnvnc running in different logins and use the port
number to select which login to use.

Use the firewall management tool (it is System:Administration:Firewall
on Fedora) to open at least port 5801 (if you want to try the applet)
and 5901 (for vncviewer).
