#Use vnc through ssh tunnel plus

New вЂvnc_server:1 (username)вЂ™ desktop is vnc_server:1ДЎ means this is the first desktop. Basically it will allow us to be able open the VNC connection on the localhost machine on port 5901 and it will send the traffic though the SSH connection. If it successes, it will give a message like this:

If you havenвЂ™t set the vnc password, use вЂњvncpasswdвЂќ to set it first. So port 1111 of localhost can be regarded as the port 5901 on vnc_server. The response packet follows the opposite of the path. The command is like this: ssh -L 1111:localhost:5901 ssh tunnel works in this way: when a packet goes to port 1111 on localhost, this packet is forwarded to sshd running on the vnc_server, then the sshd running on the vnc_server forwards this packet to localhost:5901 that is the port 5901 on itself (vnc_server). Tunneling VNC Through SSH and Connecting. We need to forward port 1111 on locahost to 5901 of the remote server. VNC Repeater and SSH Tunnel Now, lets combine the VNC Repeater and the SSH Tunnel so that we are able to use the VNC Repeater through a secure SSH Tunnel.

When youвЂ™re ready, click the Connect button.

(The network port number is always the display number plus 5900. If you were assigned display 2, then your port would be 5902. Your administrator should have informed you of the VNC network port to use for your tunnel. Make sure you select the Use SSH or SSL+SSL option before you connect. Once you have the TigerVNC client installed, you can set up your SSH tunnel. Suppose we use port 1111 on localhost for the remote control and the remote vnc server is the first one so the default port is 5901 on the server. SSH Clients With Tunneling Support Open the SSVNC client and, within the main SSVNC client window, fill in the required fields.

3) Connect to the vnc server on client now.

1) Connect to the server and meantime set up the port forwarding ssh tunnel.
