CMD Access Help

I host my own private server from my computer and my friend and i want to work on it gradually but for him to be able to help he needs file access and command prompt access for the server, so far i have given him file access through windows 10's built in FTP services but now im stumped on how to give him the ability to start and stop the server via the batch file i use to do that function.

 

so my question is - Is there a way i can give my friend CMD Access without giving him complete computer control?

 

P.S. I want him to be able to start and stop the server while allowing me to be able to use my computer.

 

Im a bit of a noob with this so i apologise if this is a un-needed post.

giving someone CMD access is pretty much giving entire computer control

 

you can do anything you want through CMD

 

so yeah, you either trust him and give him your teamviewer password, or you dont trust him and he doesnt touch CMD

You can do remote powershell on windows server, it's through RDP I think. I fon't know if that's doable on regular windows. But if I were you I would look into remote powershell.

Looking to buy GTX690, other multi-GPU cards, or single-slot graphics cards:

So long as you have physical access, you will always have complete control, since you can unplug it and insert other media and boot other OSes, etc.

But with command line access, someone would remotely be able to do pretty much anything else, so as was mentioned, either you trust him, or you're willing to sacrifice any data on that server to the public internet and possibly need to reinstall.

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

SSH is probably what you're looking for.

I think telnet is more common for windows and ssh for linux, but yes I believe you could ssh windows http://www.freesshd.com/ (other software is around)

 

Just be sure the right ports are open, the protocol is allowed, and he has the needed info.

Again though you either trust him or you don't, but this is 'text based' so he won't be messing with your mouse but he can eject your cd drive and manipulate settings and files.
