VNC Networking

[Andrew Kaplan]

I am trying to set up VNC networking using an SSH client. Is there a depot program for 10.20 available?

I found this info in DocId: KBRC00009493

A supported build of SSH for HP-UX 10.20 is not available from HP. However, a build of OpenSSH is available for 10.20 from any of the HP-UX porting archive mirror sights (i.e., http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/).

TightVNC provides source-code of VNC available at http://www.tightvnc.com/.

Andrew,
I'm not aware of any available depots but you can get info on vnc for HPUX here http://www.csun.edu/~swalton/VNC/
The instructions imply that the binaries were built on 10.20 so you should be OK. I'm running 11i and it works fine.
As for networking using an SSH client, I presume that you mean tunnelling the vnc traffic over an SSH connection. If this is the case then this is easy to do provided you have an SSH server/client setup that supports port forwarding.
All you should have to do is start the vnc server on your HPUX box and make a note of the display number (or start it with a specific display number).
On your client, start ssh and tell it to forward port 5900 + display number to the same port on the server, then start the vncviewer and specify localhost: as the VNC server.

HTH,
Michael.
