Have you tried using SSH? Or on Windows, have you tried Putty? I've 
never tried SSH on Windows but I have used it on several different Linux 
distros and on a Mac. Putty is a front end for SSH that runs on Windows 
and linux. SSH is very easy to configure on a Mac or on linux so I guess 
  it's easy to configure on Windows. As Derek said, you didn't give much 
information on what you are trying to do.
