VNC

Hi Andrew - I set this up a few months back on my powerbook, worked great: First I got SSH Tunnel Manager: http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/stm/ and set that up, pretty straightforward as I recall. Then the latest Chicken of the VNC as nixgeek recommended: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/. With those two tools I was able to connect to both a Win2K box and a Linux...

I've used Chicken of the VNC without any problems when accessing my RealVNC server on a Linux box (Slackware and Ubuntu). However, I'm not using the SSH tunneling. Do you have it running under a different X session number? (X:1 instead of X:0 perhaps?) If so, then you might have to add the server followed by the server session number (Ex: server:1)

Check in you System Preferences > Sharing pane if the remote desktop is on on the client machine. It will need to have specified for which user it is enabled. If the user for ARD hasn't been specified, it could show as vnc.

Thanks. I sse where it lives. Now I need to know when it connects, it does so with 'VNC on' instaed of avaiable, which doesn't let me exchange files etc, between computers? Client

Remote Desktop can accept feeds from VNC, which is a free, and available on most every platform. VNC is a great, free remote desktop system.

A wired network will speed your connection up, but I don't know of anything significantly faster than a VNC solution. Synergy is a good, free, software KVM if you have two monitors, and want to share the mouse. ...

at a goodwill or something. It'll be a lot cheaper than Virtual PC. You might need a monitor to set it up, but after that, you could use VNC to access it from the Mac, and stick the PC in the basement. ...

in VNC in Tiger that's lacking. If you install OSXvnc on your Mac, you'll have better luck with WIndows VNC clients like RealVNC and TightVNC. ...

Install 'OSXvnc' (and optinally 'Chicken of the VNC', a VNC Client) on the Mac, and 'REALvnc' on the PC.

I need to create an ssh session to a server at work through which I will run VNC to control a server there. ...
