I can help with this bit at least, you can use the -L option to SSH to
forward the VNC port on the server to a local port.

ssh -C -L listen-port:host:port

If VNC on your server is on port 5500, you might do:

ssh -C -L 5501:server-ip-address:5500

then, on your local machine (not in the ssh session) you can type:

vncviewer localhost:5501 

to connect via the tunnel.


Good luck,
Felix
