At work: windows computer which runs putty and vnc server.

Therefore I can only initiate ssh from the office end.
I can easily use putty to enable access to web servers on the home
machine, but can I set something up so that I can connect to the vnc
server on the office machine from a vnc client at home? Is it as
simple as connecting port 5900 on the windows machine to a defined
port, say 2000, on the openssh server at home?
Or does a tunnel like that have to be opened from the other end?
Sounds like you need to set up "remote port forwarding" as opposed to
"local port forwarding"
