Thread: openSSH and VNC

so i'm still trying hang of vnc stuff , want me out bit it.

i'm using remote desktop access dear sweet mom's computer wherever @ can figure out little problems here , there without driving forever house. understand uses vnc system. understand thing that's encrypted in vnc system password itself, , it's not secure. snooping around on tightvnc.com , found should use openssh or along lines of protocol secure things. so, installed called putty (i'm @ work using windows) found on openssh website. it's similar in interface tightvnc used on mom's computer, asks domain , that. here's questions come about:

putty (openssh) system lets me view mom's desktop, or use open secure connection , use tightvnc hop on connection see mom's desktop?

putty said there network error , couldn't connect me unless opted 'raw' connection - possibly because don't have of ssh protocol installed on mom's computer?


i'd appreciate can give me. in advance!

this may of interest you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/freenx. available both windows , linux. @ work, use on xp box log linux system. remote desktop program, better vnc regards security.

using ssh, can terminal login remotely, or can forward x terminal on it, though can bit slow.

can use putty ssh remote system. not sure why said raw connection (or means). unless system trying connect has ssh server on it, may not able connect.
