15.3.3. Connecting to VNC Server Using SSH
VNC is a clear text network protocol with no security against possible attacks on the communication. To make the communication secure, you can encrypt your server-client connection by using the
-via option. This will create an SSH tunnel between the VNC server and the client.
The format of the command to encrypt a VNC server-client connection is as follows:
vncviewer -via user@host:display_number
Example 15.6. Using the -via Option
- To connect to a VNC server using
SSH, enter a command as follows:$vncviewer -via joe@192.168.2.101 127.0.0.1:3 - When you are prompted to, type the password, and confirm by pressing Enter.
- A window with a remote desktop appears on your screen.

SSH, see Chapter 14, OpenSSH.
