→Establishing a Secure Remote Desktop Session
<pre>
ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900hostname
</pre>
where ''hostname'' is either the hostname or IP address of the remote system. Log using your account and password. The secure connection is now established and it is time to launch vncviewer so that it uses the secure tunnel:
<pre>
vncviewer localhost::5900
</pre>
The vncviewer session will prompt for a password
