On the local desktop after ssh-connect the server running;

# netstat -antp
Active Internet connections (servers and established)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address

Is it 5901 the vnc-port?

Could you please explain in more detail.  Thanks


Can I install vnc-client on the server and run it on the desktop
remotely?  Similar to X forwarding.  If YES please advise how to
achieve it.  TIA
