    Remote viewing

    Hi all,

    I have a SSH account for a web server, I am able to login to that server using a my SSH key, i am connecting to that server using its Public IP, Is it possibnrlr that I can get a remote connection for that machine?

    VNC Server is installed on that server, how can I make it work ? are there any important configurations for it work

    Please advice on this.

    Regards
    Prashant c

    Well, a ssh connection is a remote connection

    And usually all you need to maintain a machine.
    What do you need a GUI for?

    i think you must think twice if you will use vncviewer, you must had an internet connection that reliable to do that...

    If you got SSH then you already have a remote connection to the machine and can manage the server using SSH.

    The server probably doesnt have X server install so probably doesnt have a GUI.

    This is a wise decision
