Simple VNC server/client on Debian Jessie 8

In this tutorial we will look at configuring a simple VNC server on Debian Jessie. This tutorial will also work on other Debian-based Linux distributions.

In this tutorial we will configure vnc4server as the server part and use xvnc4viewer as the client.

First we install the VNC server "vnc4server": apt-get install vnc4server Then we set the VNC password with the command:$ vnc4passwd- the password should be between 6 - 8 characters long.

In the next step, we start the VNC server with a resolution of, say, 800x600 pixels and 24-bit color depth:$ vnc4server -geometry 800x600 -depth 24

Now all we need to do is install the VNC client: apt-get install xvnc4viewerIn the shell, specify the connection to the server IP (our IP in the example is 192.168.1.12): xvnc4viewer 192.168.1.12:1
