Well, the vncviewer listens on port 5800, so the redirection would for that port to the local host. The problem is if memory servers me is that the PuTTY version of OpenSSH is a client only version, so the connection would have to be started locally. If you have a need for random people to be able to connect to you for support, would probably need a different version of OpenSSH.

Normally I use vncviewer.exe (Windows NT/98) forwarded through an SSH connection (PuTTY) . this works fine. I start the server with -localhost (port 5900 is forwarded locally) What I'd like to do is start the vncviewer in listen mode and make a server initiated connection tunnelled through a remotely forwarded port. The reverse connections work fine without the SSH tunnel, but I've had absolutely no success in opening a reverse connection to vncviewer through a remote port forward. Does anyone have experience of this, what remote ports (5500? 5900?) do I need to forward and where do I forward them to (localhost? 127.0.0.1? ipaddress?) are there any configs that I need to take care of in OpenSSH or PuTTY Tim McGarry _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
