Connecting to Squiggles
For Mac or Linux
From a bash shell / terminal type the following. This will open a tunnel over ssh to log into VNC Viewer (see below). ssh -N -L 59**:localhost:59** squiggles.rcc.mcw.edu
For Windows
An SSH tunnel must be performed using Putty or with windows 10 you can use the ssh command above.
Download Putty: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
Logging into VNC session
Once connected to squiggles over ssh
Creating a VNC session
VNC sessions will be created at bootup using the port numbers above If the VNC session fails or is not working: vncserver :## -geometry 1900x1200 (This will open a vnc session on port 59## with a resolution of 1900x1200) The ## must match your port number for this to work.
Connecting to a VNC session
Use realvnc viewer to log into your VNC session.
VNC viewer download
Realvnc has been tested to work - https://www.realvnc.com/en/connect/download/viewer/
Log in using RealVNC
Open vncviewer
In the top bar that accepts a VNC Server address
type localhost:## (where ## are the last two digits of your port number 59##)
Log into the VNC session using your VNC password
Once the VNC window is open, log into the server using your RCC password
