→Accessing a Remote CentOS Desktop using vncviewer
== Accessing a Remote CentOS Desktop using vncviewer ==
Remote desktop access from other Linux based systems can be achieved using the ''vncviewer '' tool. This tool is contained within a package named vnc which may be installed installed on CentOS using the following command sequence in a terminal window:
<pre>
Otherwise, enter the password and a new screen will appear containing the desktop from the remote system. Note that if the remote desktop is configured to prompt you before allowing remote access you will need to accept the connection on the remote system before the desktop will appear in the viewer. If remote desktop control was enabled you can interact with the desktop as if you were sitting at the remote screen.
This section assumed that the remote desktop was being accessed from a Linux or UNIX system. Access is also possible from a Windows system.
