OpenSSH can be used on Microsoft platforms via Cygwin. Some googling will turn up links[1]. If you don't need the full Cygwin environment, something like copSSH[2] is probably what you want. > and there is Putty, which is > Windows but I > couldn't understand whether and how that is used in VNC.

You can using it to connect to the SSH server and create your tunnels[3]. > I wasn't able to > find a how-to guide in the VNC documentation It's there[4]. > Is there somebody here who has actually done it in this context and can > give me a list of steps to do? Thanks for any guidance here. Another option you might want to look at is a more Microsoft centric tunnel. Zebedee[5] even uses VNC as an example. Stunnel[6] is also pretty simple.
