Hello guys!

I have a question about the possibility of an implementation, I just want a direction so I can dig more into that.

I have my node-red server on my laptop. Let's say another user from another laptop connects to my server, more specifically he sees the UI. Is there a program(or anything else?) I can use so that my server can trigger an action on his pc, like running a script he already has?

Something like an exec node but on his part 🙂

Thank you very much!

That would be a serious breach of security. That said, it is not impossible depending on many factors. For example, you could trigger psexec on a window box or call to an ssh terminal to run something. Of course this would be far easier if the user had node-red running on their machine where an endpoint could be called.
