6.9SDT SHH Tunnel for VNC

Alternately, with SDT and Virtual Network Computing (VNC), Users and Administrators can securely access and control Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/2003, Linux, Macintosh, Solaris and UNIX computers. There’s a range of popular VNC software available (UltraVNC, RealVNC, TightVNC) freely and commercially. To set up a secure VNC connection, install and configure the VNC Server software on the computer to be accessed. Then install and configure the VNC Viewer software on the Viewer computer.

6.9.1Install and configure the VNC Server on the computer to be accessed

Virtual Network Computing (VNC) software enables users to remotely access computers running Linux, Macintosh, Solaris, UNIX, all versions of Windows and most other operating systems.

A.For Microsoft Windows servers (and clients):

Windows does not include VNC software, so you will need to download, install and activate a third party VNC Server software package:

RealVNC http://www.realvnc.com is fully cross-platform, so a desktop running on a Linux machine may be displayed on a Windows computer, on a Solaris machine, or on any number of other architectures. There is a Windows server, allowing you to view the desktop of a remote Windows machine on any of these platforms using exactly the same viewer. RealVNC was founded by members of the AT&T team who originally developed VNC.

TightVNC http://www.tightvnc.com is an enhanced version of VNC. It has added features such as file transfer, performance improvements and read- only password support. They have just recently included a video drive much like UltraVNC. TightVNC is still free, cross-platform (Windows Unix and Linux) and compatible with the standard (Real) VNC.

UltraVNC http://ultravnc.com is easy to use, fast and free VNC software that has pioneered and perfected features that the other flavors have consistently refused or been very slow to implement for cross platform and minimalist reasons. UltraVNC runs under Windows operating systems (95, 98, Me, NT4, 2000, XP, 2003) Download UltraVNC from Sourceforge's UltraVNC file list

B. For Linux servers (and clients):

Most Linux distributions now include VNC Servers and Viewers. They are generally launched from the (Gnome/KDE etc) front end. For example, there’s VNC Server software with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and a choice of Viewer client software. To launch:

Select the Remote Desktop entry in the Main Menu -> Preferences menu

Click the Allow other users checkbox to allow remote users to view and control your desktop
