How do I connect to the CAEN Linux Remote Login/VNC servers from my personal Linux computer?

Body

While there is currently no CAEN-provided VNC client available for Linux, as with Windows and macOS, individuals with Linux computers may use their local versions of ssh and vncviewer to connect.

First, type the following:

ssh -f -L 5951:localhost:5951 uniqname@login-course.engin.umich.edu "sleep 30"

where uniqname is your U-M uniqname. Then, you can connect to the local ssh-tunneled VNC port by typing:

vncviewer localhost:5951

See this knowledge base article for more information on connecting to the VNC servers via SSH.
