For those that produce the documentation for the vnc package, I would request that documentation of the "via" option be placed on the manual page for the Linux/Unix vncviewer page, as it does not exist on the page currently. If it exists somewhere else, will someone kindly point it out to me?
The man page for vncviewer in the Tightvnc package contains some documentation on the via option. I have used the option, which initiates an ssh tunnel before connecting to a vnc server. I think that this option is very important, as it reduces the number of steps to initiate a secure vnc session, which increases the security of the free version of RealVNC. -Scott On Tue, 6 Jun 2006, Scott Hyde wrote: > > Can someone describe the "via" option?
