Accessing from console is very laggy, is there a way to connect through, say windows’s remote desktop connection?

Download PuTTy for windows and use that to connect to SSH <br>http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ <br>(Other windows SSH Clients are available) <br> <br>For File transfer (over SSH/SFTP) I recomment WinSCP <br>http://winscp.net/eng/index.php
SSH isn’t going to get him access to the desktop unless he also sets up x forwarding. <br> <br>There’s a tutorial to set up VNC (a remote desktop protocol) here: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-setup-vnc-for-ubuntu-12
