VNC to work machine

I always forget how to do VNC over SSH (despite having a handy alias set up for it...), so here's how to set it up.

  1. run vncon on the host (alias doing what's described on http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080318190503111)
  2. run plaguevnc on the laptop to ssh tunnel vnc traffic
  3. connect to localhost:1212 in screen sharing
  4. do stuff... erm...
  5. run vncoff on the host
Ignore http://technotes.twosmallcoins.com/?tag=os-x-screen-sharing which sounds like it does what you want but doesn't...
