Creating a tunnel for VNC
- After disconnecting from your session (by typing ``exit''), PuTTY
will close. Open PuTTY again. In the ``Saved Sessions'' section, choose
the name you saved earlier (Section 1.4, where you may
have called it ``vrdcXXXX'', see Figure 2), and click on Load.
- In the left pane, choose the ``SSH -> Tunnel'' option (Figure 17).

- Fill in the required information:(Figure 18)
- Source Port: 59012
- Destination: ``127.0.0.1:59xx''3where xx, the Destination Port, should be port = display + 5900, where
display is the desktop number of your VNC session, which you identified
in Subsection 1.6. Do not use the number in the
Figure - the number is specific to you, and needs to be read off your
login screen.

- Click ``Add'' to save the information (it should show up in the pane
listing all tunnels). Now go back to the ``Session'' option in the left
pane (you should get back the configuration options as in
Figure 17), and click Save to save the session
configuration. You are finished editing this session profile.
- You are now set to initiate the tunnel. Click on the session you wish
to use, click on Load to load the settings, then Open to make
the connection.
