== What is Remote Assistance ==
RA is a way for a LinuxMCE user to give access to a remote developer or other helpful person without opening ports in a firewall, without the need for dynamic DNS or similar.

RA opens a SSH  connection to the LinuxMCE remote assistance server (ra.linuxmce.org) and provides a tunnel into the user's system.
=== The User System ===
Relevant files on the user's LinuxMCE system are (all in /usr/pluto/bin):
* SetupRA_Special.sh
* RA_Change_Password.sh
* RA-Handler.sh
* RA_KeepsPortsAlive.sh
* RA.sh
* RemoteAccessTunnel.sh
* SetupRemoteAccess.sh
=== The LinuxMCE RA Service System ===
On the service provider system (ra.linuxmce.org) the only thing I could found so far is
* get_ra_ports.php
