Hey all, i need some help im designing a custom control panel to start/stop .exe and services on a remote computer. However im a bit stuck. My original idea was to use VB6/.net linked with a mySQL server on the remote computer and the VB6/.net and login on our website so that clients can start/stop the .exe/process. however im wondering if there may be an easier way. i know VB6 quite well and am prepared to learn. so please help me how can i link the VB command buttons etc... to the remote server so that the client when logged into there account (mySQL account) can start/stop only their application/service. If anyone has another way of doing it or can help please reply and tell me :D

Thanks

My immediate thought would be to load the "Services" program from Administration Control Panel, click "Action" and "Connect To Another Computer" and allow them to do that!
 
will that allow them to have access to the computer, i just need them to be able to access their program as there is some sensitive data on there. If it only allow them to access thee program how do i do it exactly, also it musnt be able to take up the bandwidth of the server
 
Well it would allow them access to the services running on said computer, as for navigating the drive, reading files, etc, then no.

Depends how much you trust them, they could after all disabled a hell of a lot of stuff, but it would be a quick and easy option if they are trustworthy AND competent.
 
i wouldnt trust them for anythng like that, a lot of the services are named the same, due to the program that runs them i.e 11 of them are called serverdoc, so the customer wouldnt be able to diferentiate which is theirs, which is why i want to to do it with mySQL VB as i can link the cusomter login with the file.
