I'm dealing with situations where I'll be working on some other computers without RealVNC on them, both Windows and Linux. I'm looking at using PuTTY (or Plink -- forgot which works best at the moment, but both are stand alone binaries) to create a connection back to my home/office system, and running a VNC connection tunneled through that. Since I'm going to be working on other people's computers, I don't want to install either PuTTY or RealVNC.
If I put RealVNC (both Windows and Linux) on a CD (each version in a separate directory) run it from there, would there be any issues? I figure in Windows I can probably put it all in one directory and use a simple VBScript program to run PuTTY, then RealVNC, and make sure the connections are there. I think in Linux I'd be using a shell script that would set the PATH to include the appropriate directory (and/or subdirectories if I have any), then run PuTTY, and then run RealVNC. I don't see why this should be an issue. I know RealVNC uses a library not all systems have, but from what I've seen I can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH and have that library in a directory on the CD. Are there additional issues? I figure if this works, I can carry either a USB ramdrive or business card CD with PuTTY and RealVNC for both Linux and Windows and that would easily let me connect back to my own system (probably as both a server and client, in case I have someone at my system who needs to share access to the system I'm on). Thanks for any comments.
