First time user of SSH and VNC.

[Foster, Simon S SGUK-UOCG/31]

Hello all,

im using VNC quite happily over the internet to another PC no probs.

but this is not secure (so i read)

so im trying to set up a SSh tunnel using Putty.

Can someone please expalin what i need to do on the server and viewer side cos
its the first time ive heard of SSH and i think im configuring the viewer side
to use Putty but i get the error message 'network error connection refused'.

im not sure if i have to configure the server end as well for SSH???

please explain in simple terms thanks all!
