UltraVNC

Thanks Redge, You are quite right. The protocol that SC uses is different from the one that, for example, would run between a RealVnc Server connecting to a listening Real VNC listener.

SC on a remote Windows PC with the helpdesk.txt set to send the connection out to a Linux machine with a public IP.

I can set port forwarding on the Linux box to get to either a WinVNC viewer on a Windows PC or one on a Linux machine.
