Server is the one who serves the display, client is the one who views the display. It is opposite of X where server is the one that shows the display and clients connect and show their windows on the server.

Hope this helps.

Hello!

I am glad to be a part of a great learning experience by joining this list.


I am wanting to employ RealVNC over a SSH connection and am not clear
regarding what goes where.  I have read the docs and done some searching,
but am getting confused with the terminology.

The architecture:
- Server: FreeBSD (dedicated IP address, running Samba)
- Clients: M$ XP Pro  on multiple CPUs (behind a NATed switch)

I want to be able to remotely access each of the client PCs that are in a
192.168.x.x address space. The FreeBSD server has ssh installed and
running.

When the RealVNC documentation refers to Windows server and client, I am
unsure what/who the 'server' is.

Is this the XP Pro client running the RealVNC server as a service? -or- does
the RealVNC server run on (in this case, my) FreeBSD server?

Any help is appreciated.

InHisGrip,
Jeff
