Re: tightvnc on linux ubuntu

Put in the IP address of the ubuntu machine to connect to.

At the Ubuntu end enable the remote desktop option.  Set a password for
safety sake.

Back to the win machine hit connect and put in the pass word when prompted.
Obviously make sure ports match at server and client end, and beat any
firewalls into submission.

You may need to disable the 'confirm to allow' option at the ubuntu end, but
that's what the password is for.  Security for when it is allowed to just
accept connections.  And never ever allow your remote desktop to be
accessible from the intarwebs.
