Guidance on how to set up openssh and vnc between ubuntu 12.04 and windows 7
Hello,
I have a workstation with Ubuntu 12.04 64bit and a laptop with windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. I would like to connect from my windows laptop to my ubuntu workstation remotely. I hear VNC with OpenSSH is my best bet. Port forwarding I can set up, I need help with configuring openshh on both ubuntu and windows so i can then connect with vnc securely. I do not ask for a complete guide here, I know that is a lot of typing, but at least guide me to the correct path that will help me accomplish this. Also, If you have a better way of connecting remotely other than VNC please feel free to post it. Thanks! |
you mention windows client and connecting from outside network, for this situation i would use putty ssh client using keys as authorization. SSH traffic is normaly incrypted but extra layer of security is always a plus. VNC is fine for the purpose.

in server (ubuntu/debian):
# sudo apt-get -y install openssh chkconfig # chkconfig sshd on # sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start you can configure it by (restart it after edit) # sudo vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config in client (win7) download binary installable package of putty from its web site and install it. enter ip or dns name of it. for vnc: install vino-prefrences and configure it in client (windows) tightvnc or realvnc (free edition) |
Got it!
Thanks rizzy. Lots of good information. It took me a while to set it up how I want it but all good now. Thanks!
