Well, I'm not a huge fan of just running vnc as it's insecure. I prefer to tunnel it via ssh, in which case you only need to open the ssh port (TCP port 22). However, raw VNC servers use TCP port (5900 + the number of the display). So, for the first display, TCP 5900. For the second, port 5901 and so on. > What are the default ports used by Rsync for building up a connection to > a internet rsync-server? rsync uses port 873, both TCP and UDP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Senior Systems Engineer rstevens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - VitalStream, Inc. http://www.vitalstream.com - - - - Have you noticed that "human readable" configuration file - - directives are beginning to resemble COBOL code? - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
