Enable desktop sharing from terminal?

[g0nz0uk]

Hello,

I have a remote Ubuntu PC that I need desktop sharing enabled on and on from the logon screen, can this be done from SSH as I can access it this way?

Thanks

There are several ways to access a remote machine. You can choose from a command-line remote access, using OpenSSH on the server and use ssh command on the client, or you can have a graphical remote access using software like Team Viewer.

Take a look at this post for secure ssh transmission viewing the login screen.

I do this via

ssh -R 5901:localhost:5900 my.server.com

then on my.server.com

sudo apt-get install x11vnc
x11vnc

then from client machine open remote desktop and VNC to localhost
