[gentoo-user] VNCviewer config port

[ddup1]

Hi,

does anyone know how to specify a port to vncviewer (i used vncviewer
under windows) and want to connect to my pc at home but not on port
5900.

I think if you connect to computer:4967 or whatever, it will use that
instead of 5900 (which is where it will go if you type :0).

If you're connecting through windows, putty makes it very easy to use vnc
through an ssh tunnel, which would allow you to use 5900 without a problem.

vncviewer will automatically add 5900 to your port number, for example
(replace myserver.com with your server address)

$ vncviewer myserver.com:0
will connect on port 5900

$ vncviewer myserver.com:1
will connect on port 5901

if you want to explicitly specify the port number try this
$ vncviewer myserver.com::5900

notice there are two colon characters " :: " in this example
