David,
You didn’t indicate whether you are trying to do this on a LAN or across the public Internet? Classic VNC is not a secure protocol, but there are variations of it that are secure.
If you just want to run GUI programs rather than fully “screen share,” then you can use an X Windows client or xpra.
I have done all this using OS X so honestly I am not familiar with the Windows clients to recommend. I have used Cygwin, but only to run command line programs such as ssh, rsync, etc. Others will have to make suggestions based on actual experience.

Folks
I'm looking for a way to access a GUI desktop on a Centos 7 server from a Windows client. I have tried:
- X2go from EPEL (fails immediately, apparently they are working on a solution, but...)
- Freenx (doesn't exist for EL7)
Both the above work fine with Centos 6.
Are there any known working solutions?
Thanks...
Mystified but not urgent in San Francisco
David
