This system implements the VNC protocol, so any off-the-shelf VNC client can be
used. There are over 17 different VNC clients available and they should all work
with this system. This system automatically detects and makes use of certain
extensions to the basic RFB protocol that is provided by the better VNC clients.
The best client currently is TightVNC (www.tightvnc.com). Binaries are available
for Windows, Linux, Mac OS
®
, and many versions of UNIX. Source code for all
clients is available there, too. This version of VNC is being actively developed.
The authoritative version of VNC is available from RealVNC (www.realvnc.com).
This source base is the original version of VNC, maintained by the original
developers of the standard.
For a commercial, supported version of VNC, you should consider TridiaVNC
(www.tridiavnc.com). Their version of VNC is a superset of TightVNC and contains
a number of enhancements for use in a larger corporate environment.
NOTE
Some native VNC clients may require a flag or setting indicating they
should use BGR233 encoding by default. If this flag is not set, you may
see a garbled picture and the client will fail. The UNIX versions of VNC
require the flag -bgr233. For examples on using this flag, review the
commands in Section 6.1.3.

ssh -f -l admin -L 15900:127.0.0.1:5900192.168.1.124 sleep 60
vncviewer -bgr233 127.0.0.1::15900
NOTES
A copy of these commands, with appropriate values filled in for your
current system setting, is provided in the on-line help page. This allows
you to cut and paste the required commands accordingly.
You have 60 seconds to type the second command before the SSH
connection will be terminated.
