getting pi on my desktop browser

[garycooke]

if i type http:// my pi ip address and port number in my desktop browser, it take me to a blank page that just says
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_6.0p1 Debian-4

Does this mean i may be a step closer to conecting to my pi via a browser and if so what do i need to do next to be able to view my pi's desktop page from my browser

Are you running Apache2, lightttpd, nginx or monkey on your RPi?

Because if not, then you can point any browser at it and NOTHING will happen.

No i am not running anything, ive formatted sd card put noobs and rasbian back on also just in the process of installing webiopi 0.7.0 which is installed but just a problem to get it to run on boot up, which i hope i (you lol) can sort soon.
Which one do i install or is best or do i install all of them, could you tell me the command i need, is it install, wget or apt something please

Then it's entirely pointless directing your web browser to connect to an no-existent service.

What you get if you try to connect to port 22 on your Pi will depend on the browser. My Firefox (Iceweasel) browser refuses to even try and make a connection, other browsers will probably just show the SSH identifier like yours did. If your browser supports an SSH session/terminal emulator then you may get a login: prompt.

What you won't get is a desktop session.

What were you hoping to achieve with your browser?

You can add a SSH client (FireSSH) to Firefox with this add-on:

There are RDP clients for Firefox as well but have not tried one.

What are you trying to do?
If you want to run a web server on the Pi, install Apache and build a web page in /var/www/
If you want to SSH to it, make sure sshd is running on the Pi and install PuTTY on your other computer.
If you want to view the Pi's desktop, follow this tutorial and connect to it with "Remote Desktop Connection" if you're running Windows.
