Help with ssh tunnel using -via

I am trying to get Tight VNC to work with Putty to create an SSH tunnel.   I created a configuration which if I use manually either through putty or plink it connects and creates a tunnel.  I do not have to specify a name or password since I am using a public/private key.  I set the environment variable VNC_VIA_CMD to  

 

"C:\Program Files\PuTTY\plink" -load tunnel sleep 20

 

Where tunnel is the configuration name in Putty.  I then use –via parameter to cause the SSH session to be created before running Tight VNC.  It says it is trying to create the connection but it fails. 

 

How do I get Tight VNC to work with Putty to create an SSH tunnel?

RE: Help with ssh tunnel using -via

Here's how I do it from a batch file when in windoze:
start /b D:\downloads\SoftwareandManuals\putty\putty.exe -load "jim" -l frank -pw bob
sleep 5
call "Shortcut to vncviewer.exe.lnk" /config "C:\Documents and Settings\jserink\Desktop\jim.vnc"
exit
 
Ok, what we have here is putty starting using a PREDEFINED profile called jim with a user "frank" that has password "bob". You're using keys so the username and pw is uneccessary.
 
The next line simply runs a presaved TVNC shortcut which, in windows, will also save the TVNC pw in it.
 
Here's how you do the same thing in Linux:
#!/bin/bash
putty -load "jim" -l frank -pw bob &
sleep 5
/home/jserink/vnc-E4_3_2-x64_linux_viewer localhost::5900 &
 
Notice I'm using the VNCe client here, not vncviewer but it really doesn't matter.
 
You MUST setup puttyt to tunnel 5900 to 127.0.0.1:5900. You MUST configure TVNC to be able to connected to from localhost. You can't be default.
 
If you VNC link fails while you're working, you reconnect like this:
vncviewer localhost::5900
 
You should be away.

Cheers,
john

Simplified Chinese version of tightvnc

Hi!

I am looking for a Chinese version of tightvnc to update the OpenDisc 
Chinese edition (free software for Windows in Chinese). I found some 
links on Chinese website but nothing about localization on tightvnc 
website. I don't want to distribute binaries that could be infested so 
do you have a 'certified' link to give me, or else a way to localize 
tightvnc?

Thanks a lot.

Currently, TightVNC includes English version only.

Single-window sharing is supported only in the Windows version of
TightVNC. You cannot do that with Unix/Linux version, sorry.

Yes, resize events are transmitted to the vncviewer.

Index files can be created with the fbs-mkindex tool from the VNC
Reflector package:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/vnc-reflector/

The fbs-mkindex utility is not included in any released version yet, use
the code from SVN (it is considered stable at the moment):

  http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=38605

The fbs-mkindex utility can be found under the trunk/fbs-utils/ directory.

VNC Reflector does not have its own Web site at the moment, it's hosted
at SourceForge.net:

  http://sourceforge.net/projects/vnc-reflector/

The fbs-mkindex utility is not included in any released version yet, use
the code from SVN (it is considered stable at the moment):

  http://sourceforge.net/scm/?type=svn&group_id=38605

The fbs-mkindex utility can be found under the trunk/fbs-utils/ directory.

The problem seems to be that there is no Makefile in the Xvnc/include
directory, and when gmake is called with the 'clean' target, it
returns an error. I tried to place a Makefile which defines such
target, but the Makefile gets renamed to Makefile.bak, and the build
is still failing.

Do you have any ideas on how to put the clean target into those
directories, or prevent gmake from trying to call the 'clean' target
in those directories?

Re: single remote window

Do you say that single-window sharing is only possible with a MS Windows TightVNC client connecting to a MS
Windows TightVNC server? Or can one side maybe be a Linux TightVNC?
Is the reason, that single-window sharing is unavailable on Linux, because it still has to be implemented,
or because it is simply not possible with reasonable effort?
If it could be done in principle, would you share a few thoughts and documentation links about the necessary
steps? I have some understanding of the X Server architecture, and I'd be interested to add this feature to
the Linux TightVNC. But I'll need the experts' suggestions, which part of the code to focus on.

If not in TightVNC, is single-window sharing possible with other Linux VNC client/servers?

Using any VNC client connecting to a windows manager (Gnome or whatever) served by a Linux VNC server, it is
obvious that resize events within this windows manager are transmitted. 
I interpret your answer in the sense, that also in (MS Windows) single-windows sharing mode I can resize the
client window as if it was a local window, and that the served application will behave correctly. I have no
means to test the MS Windows version of TightVNC, so please confirm, whether this is more or less how it works?

Is there any workaround to get the same behavior with a Linux VNC server? It is no problem to open a single
application window, but the client window cannot be resized at all (only windows being children of the
client window can be resized.) I think http://www.x.org/wiki/Projects/XRandR would be the right
approach. Are there any ongoing efforts in this direction?

Kurt

Thanks for the response. So has the application been internationalized 
and how do we do if we wish to translate it?

Thanks
