Virtual Network Computing, or VNC, allows you to remotely control a Linux computer with another computer through a graphical interface. You will be able to observe a Linux desktop environment and interact with it using the mouse and keyboard from a different computer. This guide will walk you through how to start a VNC session and connect with it when using a Windows-based computer.

Remote Utilities. Includes lots of remote access tools. Great for both spontaneous and unattended. ThinVNC is a web remote access client (browser-based, HTML5). It's an improved version of the standard VNC protocol. It covers all the same scenarios, but with much better performance and without the need to install a PC client or any browser plugin. Once you install ThinVNC on the PC or Laptop that acts as 'server', you just need a web browser. The compact VNC Server 4 application runs on the system to be controlled. Meanwhile, con-necting systems can either run the VNC Viewer application or use a standard web browser to download and use a Java viewer from the server system. VNC adapts itself automatically and dynamically to varying conditions, including differing. EchoVNC is the next free open source VNC software for Windows. It is a secure VNC software through which you can control a remote computer. This software gives you the complete control over the remote computer and you can perform any task on the remote machine from another PC without any restriction.

Important Terminology

Here are some key terms to remember when connecting with VNC

VNC session password – this password is used only with VNC. This is not tied to your MCECS login. Because the encryption on this password is extremely weak, do not use a password that you want to keep private as your session password.
Display Number – when you start a VNC session, it will be assigned a number between 1 and 99 that will identify it on the Linux system you are remotely connected to.
Port Number – This is equal to your Display Number plus 5900. This number is used by the VNC viewer software to remotely connect with the VNC session running on MCECS Linux systems.
Host Address – this is the full domain name of the system you want to remotely connect with. This is usually in the form of somecomputer.cs.pdx.edu, somecomputer.ece.pdx.edu, or somecomputer.cecs.pdx.edu

Starting the VNC session

Step 1 – Opening a terminal

Open MobaXterm and click on the Start local terminal button, as highlighted in the image below.

Step 2 – Connecting to Linux system with SSH

In the command line, enter the following command

Replace your_username with your MCECS username and replace host_name with the address of the MCECS Linux machine or server you want to connect with (for example, mo.ece.pdx.edu or rita.cecs.pdx.edu).

Enter your MCECS account password when prompted, and log in to the host system.

Step 3 – Starting VNC session process

Start a VNC session by entering the command vncserver

NOTE: If you see the following message after entering vncserver, this means you have a VNC session already running on this system. Go to the end of this article for more information on how to check for existing VNC sessions and also how to terminate them.

Step 4 – Creating VNC session password

You should now see a prompt to enter a password like in the image below. This will be your VNC session password.

Be aware of the following:

The session password needs to be at least 6 characters long.
This password is only used to log in to your VNC session and is not tied to your MCECS account password.
This password is stored with very poor encryption, so it is advised that you do not use a sensitive password for your VNC session password.

You will also be prompted to enter a view-only password, which can be used by other people to observe your VNC session. If you are unsure about this feature, enter n for “no” and avoid creating one.

NOTE: It is possible you may not see a password prompt. If you have previously used VNC, the new process will sometimes use your previous session password. If you have forgotten your previous session password, run the command vncpasswd to change it.

Step 5 – Getting Display/Port numbers

Microsoft office 7 activation key. Your VNC session has been created, and you should see a message similar to the sample output below

The number that appears after the host address is the display number (it is underlined in red in the image above). By adding this number to 5900, this will give you the port number used to connect your VNC viewer to the VNC session.

For example, if your display number is 4, your port number is 5904. If your display number is 12, your port number is 5912.

NOTE: Your display number may not be the same as the sample image above. Make sure to read the output message in your terminal and look for the number after the semicolon for your true display number.

The VNC session is now running on the remote Linux host system and is ready to connect with your VNC viewing software. You can ex
