Is it possible to access the filesystem directly via USB when i connect it to my Windows PC ?
I don't want to ssh on the system, i want to mount it inside the Windows operating system, so that i can directly write to it without establishing a ssh connection for example.
Any Ideas how to do this ? Or isn't this possible ?
When it comes to simply accessing the file system you can always use some piece of software that will allow you to access linuxish file systems, so you can just plug in the SD card to your Windows machine (A quick google search: http://www.howtogeek.com/112888/3-ways-to-access-your-linux-partitions-from-windows/).
However, if you want your Raspberry running during those actions, you could use some sort of usb to serial cable (like this one: http://www.adafruit.com/products/954), but you will still need to use Putty or some similar software for the serial connection. On the bright side, connecting your pi that way means it will no longer need an external power supply. Just on a side note, what are your concerns about the ssh connection?

I have a bunch of automated UI tests that currently require a physical monitor to run. Can I somehow create a virtual monitor in Windows 10 that functions like a real monitor to the OS? I want to run the UI tests in a remote cloud environment without screens.
I think I heard sometime that VR-development (Virtual Reality) have had similar problems in that VR also need a physical monitor attached (except the VR-headset) and that this was perhaps solved by Nvidia/Intel? with a fake monitor driver or similar? Or was it virtual desktops in VR? I can't find the source for any of this anymore...
The easiest way is to use the Spacedesk utility:
https://spacedesk.net/
Spacedesk server part is installed on your PC.
The client part (viewer) will also be required - any device on Android/Windows in same LAN segment.
Small hack:
You can also install Windows Client on Spacedesk server PC and manually assign client IP from another subnet. As a result, you will assume real Windows fake display )...
I have a big server in my department. We have around 60 students accessing it to run software like SPSS, R, Matlab etc to perform their work. At the moment server is configured in linux and clients are mostly MAC and Windows. The problem is that there are compatibility issues of SPSS, Matlab with linux and also the users are not familier with linux desktop which are making the process complicated. I searched and found that their is Remote desktop services server in windows to do similar jobs However Ideally I would like to configure a server in windows in such a way that users log in to the server using remote desktop from windows or mac and do their work and logout. Its simple client server configuration environment I am searching for in windows?
Not an answer, but maybe an alternative: I've professionally used matlab on a linux server from windows clients on a previous job; We had 3 options:
vnc into the server and do everything through vnc
ssh (eg: putty) and only use commandline
Forward the screen to Windows; eg with MobaXterm
The third option was pretty simple to use and offered windows-like user experience:
open MobaXterm, connect to server (you can create favourites)
specify username + password (it asks for it + option to 'remember')
type "matlab" + enter
gui of matlab opens, user experience is the same as he would have opened locally installed matlab (except for X-look-and-feel)
Matlab was just installed on the server locally, I don't know how they solved licensing issues (because basically everything would probably run just fine using one single license on that machine)
How can smartly/remotely control a Raspberry-PI system through android apps. I have found an android app named "Raspberry Control" (source). I have followed all the steps as given in the above URL.
I have installed the android app in my phone (samsung galaxy note, recent release in 2014) followed tried to make a connection of android app with my RPI system (I have followed the steps mentioned in this Youtube video). But as shown in video, when the app started from phone, it needs a SSH connection (showed at 0.25 in the video). Unfortunately, I have faced an error like "check installation on RPi".
Thanks in advance for your precious time. Do I need to install any software on raspberry pi or am I missing any steps?
Secure Shell (SSH) is a network protocol that allows data to be
exchanged over a secure channel between two computers. Encryption
provides confidentiality and integrity of data. SSH uses public-key
cryptography to authenticate the remote computer and allow the remote
computer to authenticate the user, if necessary. SSH is typically used
to log into a remote machine and execute commands, but it also
supports tunneling, forwarding arbitrary TCP ports and X11
connections; file transfer can be accomplished using the associated
SFTP or SCP protocols. An SSH server, by default, listens on the
standard TCP port 22. An SSH client program is typically used for
establishing connections to an sshd daemon accepting remote
connections. Both are commonly present on most modern operating
systems, including Mac OS X, GNU/Linux, Solaris and OpenVMS.
Proprietary, freeware and open source versions of various levels of
complexity and completeness exist.

You found a complete guide/dossier in this link. The install instruction can change depending on the system.
You can control rpi trought ssh simply from windows, linux, android, iOs using a ssh telnet/client. Your app simply after press a button send to rpi the correct ssh comand.
If you have debian(or raspbian) this guide is for you:https://wiki.debian.org/en/SSH.
So, you must enable the ssh service on your rpi. Username and password are user/pass of your rpi account.
I am trying to connect to two devices connected via GPIB on a remote computer connected directly via a Ethernet cable. I am using a JPIB library I found, but I am having difficulty determining how to connect to the remote computer.
My goal is to control and read the devices by connecting to the remote computer. I am also unsure as to what program or software I need to install on the remote server.
Thank you in advance,
If you can use the VISA API instead of the GPIB API, install NI-VISA on both computers. On the remote computer, enable the VISA server. You can then use the VISA API to connect to the GPIB device attached to the remote computer.
For example, if the remote computer is at 192.168.0.111, and the instrument address is:
GPIB0::16::INSTR
it can be accessed remotely as:
visa://192.168.0.111/GPIB0::16::INSTR
You can also use a hostname in place of an IP address.
To call VISA from Java, you can use JNA to invoke VISA API functions. A JNA library can be created from a stripped down copy of visa.h (just the functions you need) and even generated with a tool like JNAerator.
This works on Windows. I'm not familiar with the Linux version of NI-VISA>
I'm finding that I can't access the admin shares on an XP64 box when there's no network connection. Trying to browse to \\localhost\c$ fails (although obviously browsing c: works).
Reason for the question is that the NANT build script for our application uses this format to copy files from one local directory to another, and it's failing when I'm trying to use my laptop on the train (the same problem occurs if I unplug the network cable from my desktop and build). The whole build only uses local resources so should be possible without network connection.
You could install a loopback adapter to fool the computer into thinking it's on a network. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/839013
