10.5: How to use screen sharing remotely and securely
I use this handy shell script to secure my vnc through a tunnel:
save with your favorite text editor (I call mine svnc) and chmod u+x to make it executable then, if the file is in your path, you can fire up your secure tunnel by typing: svnc username@somehost.com if you have JollyFastVNC.app in your Applications folder, it will open and you connect to localhost (127.0.0.1) and port 5902 the terminal window will wait for you to hit return when you are done with your secure vnc, hitting return kills the tunnel so you do not have it sitting around un-noticed. Someone clever and less lazy than me could surely wrap this up in AppleScript for click and go fun; if that is you, share and enjoy. I first posted a version of this script years ago with an incorrect variable in response to a question from felix-fi (who commented above) on another site about securing afp (just change the ports and the open command). The version here is secure and done up properly. To felix-fi, I also have to pull up the man page to ssh ever time I start thinking about tunnels sorry for any aggravation from mixed up variables four years ago. |
