I have a webserver and a ftp server on my home PC and I’d like to be able to turn it on when im at school on my laptop. I figured this would be a frequent question but I can’t find my answer to it on google/SO. So how would I turn on my PC from another laptop across the internet?
You can use:
Wake-on-LAN (WOL), an ethernet computer networking standard that allows a computer to be turned on or woken up by a network message.
The message is usually sent by a program executed on another computer on the same local area network. it’s an UDP message, you can easly create it from almost any language.
note that UDP messages will not pass routers…
