6.9 SDT SSH Tunnel for VNC

Alternately, with SDT and Virtual Network Computing (VNC), users and administrators can securely access and control

Windows, Linux, Macintosh, Solaris and UNIX computers. There is a wide range of free popular VNC software options available

(UltraVNC, RealVNC, TightVNC). To set up a secure VNC connection, you must install and conﬁgure the VNC Server software

on the computer to be accessed, then install and conﬁgure the VNC Viewer software on the Viewer PC.

6.9.1 Install 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.

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 PC, 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.

For Linux servers (and clients):

Most Linux distributions now include VNC Servers and Viewers and generally can be launched from the (Gnome/KDE etc) front

end (e.g. with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, there is VNC Server software and a choice of Viewer client software). To launch:

• Select the Remote Desktop entry in the Main Menu: Preferences menu.

• Check the Allow other users… checkbox to allow remote users to view and control your desktop.
