1) Build a tunnel from your machine through to jlabl2 (where the vncserver is running)
Open a terminal window on your local computer and run: % ssh <your-jlab-username>@login.jlab.org -L 2222:jlabl2.jlab.org:22
2) Now tunnel the vnc port through the tunnel from (1):
Open another terminal window on your local computer and run: % ssh <your-jlab-username>@localhost -p 2222 -L 5907:localhost:5907
3) Now run your vncviewer and connect to the vnc session
Open another terminal window on your local computer and run: % vncviewer -Shared :7 -!-> Make sure you include the '-Shared' option or you kick everyone else off. ---> Get from the person running the meeting.
Mac OS X VNC client:
'Chicken of the VNC' works well. It can be found here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/ ---> First set up the tunnel chain as above in some terminal windows. In the VNC login window: Host = localhost Display/Port = 7 -!-> Be sure to check the 'Shared Display' box
Windows:
This can be done by using a couple of instances of PuTTY to handle the ssh tunnels and then using UltraVNC to connect to the VNC session. - I can write a walkthrough for this if there is demand but I'd prefer everyone just switch to using a fully functional OS like linux. (I kid, I kid... ;-)
