Setup the SSH server and VNC server on the Linux box.

Setup the Client PC:
Launch PuTTY.
Under session:
Host Name: your Unix box FQDN or IP
Click SSH
Give the session a name

Under: Connection / SSH / Tunnels
Enter a port forward for Local
Source Port: 5901
Destination: localhost:5900
Click Add

Click on session again and save it.

Now launch (Open) your PuTTY session and logon to your Linux box's SSH
server.
Then launch your VNC Viewer and enter localhost:1 as the VNC Server.  Your
SSH session will forward it to your Linux box. You should get prompted for
the VNC Password setup on the VNC server on Linux.

You should now be connected to the Linux box via VNC.
