Download a VNC spoftware package, we recommend tightvnc. http://www.tightvnc.com/ download the windows version and install this software.

-On the server start up a VNC session by issuing the command: $ vncserver You will then be prompted to enter your password and then to verify your password.

-This will give you the port number you need to use.

-From your pc launch the vnc viewer, enter server name with port number i.e. prometheus.rit.albany.edu:1

-You will then be prompted for your password.

-To reset password $ vncpasswd

-If you do not have a .vnc directory, the first time you execute vncserver it will create .vnc and the necessary files.

To leave the VNC session just X out of the VNC Window.

To remove the VNC session, issue the command (this would only be done if you no longer want to run a VNC session)

vncserver -kill :1 - where 1 represents a portnumber, use the one for your session.
