Hi! I use MindTerm (it's free, written in Java, so runs on just about anything) : <a href="http://www.appgate.com/mindterm/">http://www.appgate.com/mindterm/</a> Once logged in through SSH, I open 2 tunnels : ports 5801 and 5901 from remote host to localhost Then on the Ubuntu machine, I launch vnc (creates a new session) or vino (logs me into my local session) Then from my Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac or whatever I have at hand, I just launch "vncviewer localhost:1" (:1 and 5X01 imply virtual display :1 on the Ubuntu machine - if your display is YY then use :YY and 58YY and 59YY) If your Ubuntu has the java applets for the VNC server, you can open (once the SSH tunnels are up) <a href="http://localhost:5801/">http://localhost:5801/</a> and you get a Java VNC instead of having to run a locally installed VNC viewer (nice from a cybercafe). I actually have a web page on my home server on which I serve the MindTerm.jar applet... so that from any point on the internet, including hotel PCs, customer systems, cybercafes, I go to my web server and launch MindTerm, then open the tunnels, then open <a href="http://localhost:5801/">http://localhost:5801/</a> and voila, I'm looking at my machine from a relatively secure connection - that is, provided there are no key loggers on the cybercafe's machine, which is a different issue) Gilles. <div>On 2/3/08, Dick Dowdell <<a href="mailto:dick.dowdell@gmail.com">dick.dowdell@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> How can I access my 7.10 desktop over SSH from Window XP Pro? -- ubuntu-users mailing list <a href="mailto:ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users</a> </blockquote></div> -- Gilles Gravier - <a href="mailto:Gilles@Gravier.org">Gilles@Gravier.org</a> Using Google Apps web mail
