Need to reboot remote computer, VNC is denying access, I have full R/W FTP

[aharu]

This is so annoying, I have setup a Windows 7 computer at a remote place and now I can't really access it.

It has the latest version of TightVNC installed but it only asks for password and then "gracefully closed the connection" (something like that).

Filezilla FTP server is installed and I have full R/W access to all drives incl C:, to this I can connect just fine.

No-IP service is running on it so I can find it's IP.

- Can I reboot the computer somehow?
- Can I restart the TightVNC service somehow?
- Can I install and run another VNC software?
- Can I activate a command shell, or windows own remote desktop?
- Can I run commands with FTP commands?
- Can I change or remove a Windows system file to make it reboot?
- Anything?

Some ports are open, such as some FTP & PASV ports, the VNC port, 990 might be open (but I disabled secure ftp features since I couldn't make it work).

Later this week my brother can reboot it manually but at this moment no one is at that place.

I don't want to shut it down, I need it rebooted or TightVNC restarted. Or somehow manage to connect to TightVNC (never had any trouble with TightVNC before but this was the last time I'm using it I'll say).

if you are using an ftp client that lets you manually enter commands, you might be able to use SITE EXEC file.exe

probably safe to assume the device is firewalled and samba is inaccessible, otherwise you could do something like

shutdown /r \\server

reality is that you're probably SOL, sorry

Yep, SITE EXEC is not supported.
Could've sworn I activated logging in TightVNC but there are no logs I can find.

I just wish I could like delete a "tightvnc.ini" file, make some changes and reupload it and it would magically reread it while service is running.

Well, the computer is set for downloading files and it currently is, I just wish I could VNC in there to check how things are going. And see if I'm running out of harddrive space too....

Well, when my brother reboots it manually, I'm installing some other VNC software, maybe a ssh shell (or what its called, "remote cmd.exe"). And schedule it to reboot once every night.
