I've never tried that, I just get it done with ssh. When you do get it going, is it just like a windows VNC session, with file transfers, etc?

Woohoo, got it working... Somehow the OSXVNC didnt start automatically like it was supposed to. Now i can tunnel in securely via SSH, then VNC to see the screen.

It looks just like a windows VNC session, though when i try to send a file it says "not supported". Wonder if there is a workaround.
