x11vnc allows one to remotely view and interact with real X displays (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse) with any VNC viewer. In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.

TightVNC is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer.

Need to integrate your Windows and Linux machines over a network? One tool that may help is VNC, a frame-buffer-based client/server application that lets you display desktops on remote networked machines, and which runs on all kinds of platforms, including Linux, Unix, Macs, Windows, and mainframes.

1. Configure and start your X-windows emulation program for X11 forwarding. If you need help doing this please click faq.rutgers.edu/content/jodonato/html/Ssh.x11.forwarding.configure.exceed.jodonato.html to read the documentation.
2. Start the SSH client the same way you usually would to connect to the remote system.
3. Click on edit from the toolbar and select settings.
4. Under Profile Settings select Tunneling.(NOTE: you may need to click on the + symbol next to the Profile Settings to see the Tunneling option)
5. Once the Tunneling Option is selected make sure that the option called Tunnel X11 connection is checked off.
6. Click on OK
7. Continue connecting to the remote system as you usually would.
