 Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2003 9:55 am Post subject: vnc w/ ssh |
 |
|
I'm trying to get vnc working with ssh tunneling. Already got X11 forwarding working.
Taking a big stab in the dark here:
ssh user@ip -X vncviewer
I did that and it works, I got remote desktop access. But I was wondering if this is the proper way to do it?
Also, I installed tightvnc.
btw, is there a way that I could securely connect using a java enabled web browser? I know when I run vncserver, the http server loads too. Hmm would it just use ssl?
confused,
Mr. Hahn |

nothing wrong with it, however the proper way is:

$ vncviewer -via <ip> localhost

then point your browser to http://localhost:5801 |

hmm, I thoughtnthere would be some port forwarding stuff going on or somthing.
Also, the way wl the web browser still requires the machine to have ssh. |

| yeah, it isn't that crucial, but it would be nice to just connect form any random computer on campus. hmm, I suppose I could use knoppix if the machine doesn't have *nix on it. |

For vnc over ssh you should use port forwarding. If you're connecting for a windows box to a linux box you can use port forwarding in putty. then just use the vncviewer as usual just point it to localhost instead of the vnc server.

| SO lets say from a liunux box to another linux box. How would it go? I have never used port forwarding, only seen other people doing it, so my understanding of it is sort of weak. |

I got it 
used this guide:
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html
But I have one more issue and that is all.
My vnc session and my normal x sessiosn are not syncronised.
My xstartup script in ~/.vnc just has exec fluxbox in it. |
