VNC Server (TightVNC)/Remmina VNC client/SSH issues
by Basslord1124 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5K0WH)
Ok, I am trying to set up a VNC connection to my server so I can use a GUI for those times when I might need one. I am also trying to get this VNC connection to travel over SSH as well so it's secure.
So far:
-I have installed tightvnc on my server
-I have SSH installed on my server on a non-standard port and have been using and loving SSH for a while now to do administrative tasks while I'm away.
-I have been trying to follow various tutorials on this and not having much luck.
-I have Remmina installed on my laptop and am using it as my VNC client...I have plugged in all the various settings that I think should work. All it does is stay on "Connecting to <my server name>".
At least for the time being I've been doing everything remote as we have been at my in-laws house. Feel like I am missing something, not sure if it's on the server side or a misconfigure with this Remmina client. The GUI I am using on the server is LXDE. Appreciate any help.
