Installing tightvnc on Linux help

[DSheen]

Hello,

I am new to linux and I purchased a Linux Dedicated server, however my experience for Linux is 0 and my pc's at home are Windows 7. I am trying to install TightVNC server on my linux dedicated server but I can currently only access it through Putty as far as I know.

Is there a way to install TightVNC through Putty from my Windows 7 computer? Because I have no clue how else to put TightVNC on my dedicated server.

is simple setup - depending on which linux, vncserver would be already installed or an installer option. do this from the console of course.

while on the console, you can install or activate sshd and then can connect w/putty using ssh - unless you wanted to enable telnet on the server but that of course is insecure.
