Re: tightvnc over ssh

[Jerry W. <je...@we...>]

Jim:

Okay, let's start with the ssh command on 192.168.1.2...

ssh -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5901 root@192.168.1.103

This command says to:
 open a Secure Shell to 192.168.1.103
 login with user root
 setup a TCP tunnel with:
    from local (192.168.1.2) port 5900 on my current machine
    to port 5900 on machine with name 127.0.0.1 
    as seen by 192.168.1.103...

Now this will allow you to do vncviewer localhost:0 (entry to tunnel)
and be connected to 192.168.1.103:1, tunnel exit!

That help any?

Jerry
