I also have a solution for what you may be proposing..... you need the (vnc server/ ssh client) to initiate the connection to the (vnc viewer/ ssh server)
if this is what you are looking for then ..... here is the plink.exe command -R 5901:localhost:5900 -ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] -pw password running this on the (vnc server/ssh client) will remap a port on the (ssh server/vnc viewer) computer. then on the ssh server computer just vnc to localhost:5901 If your ssh server supports server side port maps (most do) then this should work and it's not too difficult.
