VNC, SSH tunneling

VNC will use the port 5901 for the 1st desktop, so if the remote desktop is bleu:2, then the port will be 5902; To open a SSH tunneling, using Putty to build a ssh connection with the host (say bleu), in the connection, set SSH->tunneling (the source port the port at host, and the destination one is the port at your local port), then click the OPEN to build the ssh connction. As long as the ssh client widown is open, the tunnelling will be exist; Now we can open vncviewer with host as localhost:2 instead of bleu:2.
