Upgrade instructions


Some remarks:

  • Instructions mainly refer to the installation of NX Web Companion on Linux and Solaris SPARC platforms. However, instructions related to the compressed TAR package can be extended to apply to the Windows and Mac OS X platforms.
     
  • These instructions are intended to be run from an xterm or similar and  use the sudo utility. If you don't have it installed, log on as superuser ("root") and run the commands without sudo. They also refer  to the 32 bit packages (i386), but can be easily extended to the 64bit packages (x86_64).
     
  • To preserve settings specific for your environment, create a backup copy of your DocRoot/plugin/nxapplet.html file beforehand.
     
  • Finally, note that DocRoot indicates the directory of the Web server out of which you will serve your NX Web Companion.

    # sudo rpm -Uvh nxplugin-3.4.0-xy.i386.rpm

Technology Brief
Data encryption and security

NX security is guaranteed at every layer involved in the communication process. NX uses SSH public-key encryption and 128 bit volatile random cookie generation.

Multimedia support

NX transparently tunnels Linux multimedia channels. Not only does NX play KDE and Gnome system sounds, but you can listen to MP3s played on the server and local workstation simultaneously.

Unified support for all major remote desktop protocols

Thanks to its outstanding compression performances, NX is able to deliver X, RDP and RFB remote sessions using the same client. This is achieved by translating "foreign" protocols into X-Window, the native protocol of NX.
