x2goclient is the client part of x2go. It should be installed on a client computer to access a x2goserver running on another machine. x2goclient will provide you the possibility to access the romote running desktop, exchange files with it and to redirect the sound form the session on the server to the client. x2goclient can be started via the Desktop Environment's menu or by using the command line. Some options are available from command line only.
After the installation of x2go (installing x2goclient (Debian)) x2go can be found in the menu of your Desktop Environment. It will be integrated inside the topic “internet”. After the first start two windows will be opened. After adding all required session informations, only one window will appear
