does anyone have any suggestions on how to connect to dedicated server's desktop remotely ?
Edit - Note : the dedicated server has CentOS(linux) on and I have windows XP on my computer.

Use "Windows Remote Desktop Connection",it's founded in Start>All programs>Accessories if your using windows 7.

Oh,sorry,forgot to mention the server operation system,the server has Linux CentOS and I have Windows XP on my computer.
but thanks anyway for the fast response.

No problem,although you could connect via FTP,it's a lot easier and faster.

FileZilla is the best client to connect via FTP,you can download it here.

Yea,I currently using it,but I can't open the server file throught this program to turn the server on.
this is why I am searching for a program that I can connect with it to the server's desktop,so I can open the server and see the results.

You could open server via Putty.

SSH is the easiest way to work on a remote machine, but needs some linux basics, as its terminal only.
Another way would be installing any VNC server. Some are even compatible with windows remote desktop, so you dont need to set up any client on the other computer.

I don't understand why you would want to install a GUI on a server, unless you were running programs requiring a graphical interface - which SA-MP does not.

Using bash over an SSH connection with putty is the best way.

Because as far as I know,when you open a server on Counter-Strike you open a program which gives you few options to fulfill and two buttons at the bottom "open server" & "cancel"
I am searching for alternative way to open the server,I saw once a program that open excatly the same as SAMP server opens.
So it will be useful for me to know what programs to use when I will be in need of them.
