Connecting to a target with Phindows

The IDE lets you connect to a Photon session on a target from a Windows host machine. You can interact with the remote session as if you were sitting in front of the target machine.
To prepare your target for a Phindows connection:
  1. Open a terminal window and log in as root.
  2. Edit the file /etc/inetd.conf and add the following line (or uncomment the line if it already exists):
    phrelay stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/phrelay phrelay -x
  3. Save the file and exit the editor.
  4. If it's running, kill the inetd daemon:
    slay inetd
  5. Now restart inetd:
    inetd
You can now connect to your target using Phindows. For details about using Phindows, see the Starting Phindows topic in the QNX SDP documentation.
