In order to get VNC to work over SSH, I need to forward the local
connection to the remote host instead of the other way around. This seems
a little counter-intuitive to me, and I was hoping someone could explain
why it works this way.
Since the VNC server is running on port 5901 on machine foo, why am I not
forwarding 5901 on foo to 5901 on localhost? Doing so doesn't work (I keep
making that mistake) but sending localhost:5901 to foo:5901 does the job
properly.
Please enlighten me.
