VNC from Terminal on OSX
Authored by: asmeurer on Sep 29, '10 08:33:20AM
Really, don't put the password in the link. You realize that this will allow anyone with internet access to remotely access the machine in question, if they have it. Doesn't the Screen Sharing application have keychain support? If so, I would recommend using that instead.

And to the other poster, it is extremely easy to view the contents of the file. Just type cat file in the terminal. Actually, there's really no need to examine the file anyway, since it has the password in there, anyone who wants to use it just needs to open it (if they are on a Mac).
