: The basic way that putty would be used to securely access VNC is as
: follows. You use putty to ssh (on port 22, the standard port for ssh)
: to the machine running the ssh server. You tell putty to forward
: packets over the ssh connection ("tunneling" them). You connect
: vncviewer to your local machien (where you ran putty), and it connects
: over putty/ssh to the remote machine.
:
: It's not at all a "point-and-click" solution, so you'll need to do
: some reading, etc. before you'll be able to implement it. Cygwin is
: the only free ssh server for windows that I know of.
Note that the unix/linux tightVNC client has -via, which makes use
of ssh encryption more nearly point-and-click-ish. It occurs to me that
a cygwin ssh client and vnc client could implement -via, and then a
clickable icon could be set up to do the whole connection in one
swell foop.
Anybody know of a cygwin-based vncviewer?
Or whether it's really as feasible as I suppose it is?
Or, for that matter, whether a -via feature could use putty
instead of cygwin openSSH?
