 Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2011 9:27 pm Post subject: Remote remote desktop (SSH port fowarding) |
 |
|
Could have sworn I have asked this before but I can't find it
basically I want to remote desktop a computer on a remote network.
| Code: |
+----------+ Da Internet +------------+ Network +------------+
| ME! |-------------|remoteServer|-------------|RemoteScreen|
+----------+ +------------+ +------------+
|
I can ssh to all computers so what I want to do is somehow tunnel port 5900 from the remote screen to me, though the remote server
I can only ssh to the remote server from me, and then ssh from the remote server to the remote screen.
The remote server doesn't have a gui desktop or anything so can't remote desktop that then remote desktop onwards 
I have played around with -D -L and -R but I can't get it to work....
Any ideas?
Thanks

Try the following:
| Code: | | $ ssh -N -L 5900:RemoteScreen:5900 remoteServer |
Then connect to localhost:5900 |

Indie,
I've been looking for a solution for this as well. I tried the command sequence you supplied above, but I get the message, "bind: Cannot assign requested address" back and ssh hangs. Is this coming from my local machine's IP stack? Could this be a firewall issue? I'm running OpenSuSE 12.2 on both desktop machines; the server between is running FreeBSD.

I suspect that is normal behaviour, particularly if you have tried to run the command more than once without killing the previous port binding.
SSH probably isn't hung, it just doesn't return until you have finished with it - put & at the end of the command to put it in the background, but probably better to just run vnc from a different terminal thus:
| Code: | | vncviewer -encodings tight localhost |
I prefer to use a different port eg. 5901:RemoteScreen:5900 and then connect to localhost:1 to leave the default free for 'real' local vnc connexions. |
