I don't know about using PUTTY or doing any kind of tunneling from a remote
PC to get back to my desktop, but when I travel for business or to visit my
family, I use a diskette or a USB ramdrive that contains the
REALVNC client and connect to my desktop where I run the server code. One
of the people with whom I work just downloads the VNC client. Another
solution may be just to use a browser connection. I've been told that
works great, but I haven't tried it. I know that I have absolutely no
security using the free client only but it is a way you could start and
then build up from there.

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.
Hal
