Howdy guys..

This PC, I've just installed FreeBSD 10.1 release with mate desktop. This PC is in my house. To install Firefox, the command is pkg install firefox.

How, if I want to install Firefox, from my office, to this PC? My office PC is running windows XP.

Use ssh(1) to connect to your home machine, use su(1) or security/sudo to become root. Then use the same pkg-install(8) commands.

A good Windows SSH client is PuTTY.

Mmm. As iI understand, I have to use putty.exe and choose SSH using my office pc.

I don’t understand these:
1. Port? Use default port which is 22 ?
2. IP? Use the ip that iI have to take from my home pc? Go to whatismyip.com and then use the shown result ip?

Thanks in advance.
 
You will have to enable port forwarding on your router at home. Normally no incoming connections are forwarded. In the case of SSH you will need to forward port 22. You'd then connect to your home internet address from your workplace.

I already did that.
1. The router I already port forward with port 9191 for the home pc that runs freebsdFreeBSD.
2. The router I already make blades.dlinkddns.com

In the office PC, iI should put ip/hostname = blades.dlinkddns.com and port is 9191.

But, it didn’t works.
 
The hostname blades.dlinkddns.com doesn't resolve. You can check this on Windows using nslookup blades.dlinkddns.com. Try connecting to the IP address instead.
 
OK. tThe hostname now is jejai009.dlinkddns.com and it resolve., but still has no luck.

dDo iI need to configure anything in freebsdFreeBSD for the port forward? I configure port 9191 in the router for the port forward.
 
If you forward the outside port 9191 to the inside port 22 you don't have to change anything on the FreeBSD. You do have to make sure sshd(8) is enabled and running obviously.
