Run windows file from linux computer over the internet

[babadoctor]

So I have a linux computer running ubuntu 16.04 and it has a file that i need to run

 

I want to run it from a windows machine on the internet

 

is this possible?

 

I was looking at SSHFS but that only works for linux to linux machines

 

does anyone know what I could do?

Not sure I understand. What's stopping you from simply copying that file to the other machine and executing it there?

Citrix?

RDP to the system and run it from there?

clarify, do you want the file to execute on the remote machine or do you want the file to execute on the local machine

 

i dont think you can do the second variant without getting local copy of the file

I want the file to execute on the local machine without copying it over

 

Sort of like mounting the remote filesystem on my windows machine and running it

i assume youre trying to save local disk space because the file is too large? even if you manage to make it work, the file has to load into memory of the local pc every time you try to run it, loading the program over network every time will take very long and most likely wont be worth it
