RE: VNC client/server combo doing VNC over HTTP
Interestingly enough, I was just looking into a similar thing yesterday. I have yet to try it out, but here's the info:
Server:
Use apt-get install vcnserver to get vcnserver
Run vncpassword to setup a password which will be encrypted and saved in ~/.vnc/passwd
Run vncserver
Client:
On a linux machine, xvncviewer I read is good. Simply connect with command: xvncviewr hostname
On a windoze machine, try tightvnc (you're gonna have to google this one). I believe the most recent version is 1.2.8 or 1.2.9

Subject: VNC client/server combo doing VNC over HTTP
Hi
I'm looking for a VNC server to run on my home Debian setup that will
allow me to connect to it from work. Trouble is, work is behind a
(justly) paranoid corporate firewall which will allow me to connect out
on HTTP/HTTPS on the usual web ports and not a lot else. So I'm looking
for a solution where the server can be Debian, the client can be Windows
2000 and comms between the two can be HTTP or better HTTPS over
80/81/443/8080 etc.
I stumbled over x11vnc which looks good but doesn't appear to support
communicating over HTTP(s). And my searches on sourceforge etc find me
products that do what I want but the server side has to be Windows.
Anyone got any alternative ideas?
Thanks
Mark
