VNC over SSH tunnel and access from MacOSX

by extravir on Feb.29, 2012, under Software

During my febbricitanza, a month ago, I was given back to computers … I had a fair amount of work left in the latex linux office workstation and I was frankly sick of going to ssh, scp and sftp (and for those who are wondering, these are programs that use an encrypted protocol to access and control a remote computer).

He was not a big problem here on Mac Secure Shell is installed by default, and my favorite FTP client, Cyberduck that supports the sftp protocol to large, also with MacFUSE you can mount a remote disk as if it were an external drive , in full KDE style. So if the problem had been avoided only the terminal, you would set up in advance. It ‘s just that I would like to access your computer remotely using the graphical interface … and I came back to the good old vnc.

Who is a bit more practical than Linux could groped to access and use locally X programs by starting from the terminal, making sure you start ssh with the “-X-C”, but if you do not have a connection of at least one gigabit would be totally unnecessary and very very slow!

So I armed myself with patience and I looked for a way to start vnc on Linux workstation, connect via ssh (my wonderful firewall is configured to allow access only to port 22 and ssh, and have no plans to change this setting) on my laptop and open a vnc client to remotely manage but graphically my computer!

The recipe is quite simple, I just worry about security assuming you have a firewall configured like mine, so you can only access your computer via ssh and vnc connection can be activated only for localhost! I also assume that you know is at least install programs on your PC on your mac and linux.

On the vnc workstation, as well as ssh, you need a vnc server. At the office I have a very very customized Ubuntu 8.04, but as vncserver I decided, after numerous tests, for tightvncserver.

On your mac you could install Chicken of the vnc, which works beautifully despite his age!

already present in the core of our ESXi, specifying a password, a port for

each of the VM and logically enabling the vnc service.

Procedure (from Carry out each of the VM for which you want skilfulness this feature):

4) Edit the file. Vmx, in this case called: CentOS 64bit.vmx (ESXi provides you with “you” as an editor).

5) Add at the end of this file the following lines of code:

remotedisplay.vnc.port = “port”

remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”

remotedisplay.vnc.password = “password”

Replace the values ​​”Ports” (to use a different port each VM) and “password” with those you deisiderati. example:

remotedisplay.vnc.port = “5901″

remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”

remotedisplay.vnc.password = “esxiVnCView”

6) Exit and save (in vi press Esc and type: wq).

VNC for remote management of computers

by extravir on Dec.21, 2011, under Software

vnc stands vnc for Virtual Network Computing. This is a protocol originally developed by the research laboratories of Olivetti and Oracle, and,
later, developed by AT & T, which displays the desktop of a remote computer and interact with it.

The protocol has, in fact, the function of carrying the graphical interface from a computer, called server,
a computer that has installed a component called the viewer (viewer).

In support of their view of the remote desktop there is the possibility of interaction via the local keyboard and mouse and,
in many vnc programs, even to exchange files, interact with chat.

vnc programs I mentioned, as from the original product, now abandoned by AT & T, vnc has developed several programs, some commercial,
some open source, generally similar characteristics.

The beauty of vnc is a product to be “cross platform”, so you can use on different operating systems (Windows, Linux, Unix, MacOS). different.

The basic protocol uses TCP port 5900 and, in the case of multiple servers on the same IP, other neighbors, and port 5800, and adjacent,
if you wanted to use a Java viewer that allows remote control from a browser.

VNC: how to manage servers remotely

by extravir on Dec.13, 2011, under Software

We begin by clarifying that with vnc does not mean a particular program, vnc but a category of programs that allow remote control of a computer.
The acronym stands for Virtual Network Computing vnc and the common feature is the use of such software RFB protocol, Remote Frame Buffer.
In this article we use a vnc server on a Linux system on a Windows system. The information provided will be helpful, however, in any case configuration.

The scheme is simple: on the one hand to control the computer on which to install the vnc server, the computer controlling the other hand using the client component,
the so-called viewer. The two machines can be connected via a private LAN or through the public Internet.
In the latter case the work is likely to be more burdensome for the need to configure other devices such as firewalls and routers.

If the workstation client establishes a connection to the server will see the desktop of the remote machine in a window of the program.
We can act on it directly with your keyboard and mouse as if we were our physically sitting at the computer.
The cool thing about this is that the operating systems involved in communication can be different: Linux, Windows or MacOSX.
We could control a Windows 2003 server on our Linux box, or, conversely, a Linux server from a Windows XP station.

Discover the VNC client built into every Mac Free

by extravir on Nov.29, 2011, under Software

If you read the article on vnc client free for all major operating systems, vnc you’ll quickly realize that Mac OS X does not offer the wide selection they offer other operating systems (Linux in particular), and that in fact most of the software outstanding are paid.

Well, what (perhaps) did not know is that Mac OS X has everything you need to connect to a vnc server and therefore does not require third-party applications (except special needs, that is).

Those jokers Cupertino fact have taken steps to integrate the default vnc client, but they thought it best to leave it in the shade, away from prying eyes. However, given the usefulness of the application to see how the case has cast it as necessary and put on display between applications. All this after having admired this
