Login isn't necessarily a tunnel.

I got the instructions from
http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/sshvnc.html

1.) Creating a tunnel requires an sshd service on the remote machine as
well.

2.) vnc server on the server machine must be able to accept connections
from localhost.

Assume your vnc server is running display 0 and you use the vnc viewer
not the browser based viewer, so your vnc server serves port 5900.

For cygwin sshd, to establish the tunnel, issue the following command on
the client (replace "remote.host" with the actual name):

ssh -L 5902:localhost:5900 user@remote.host

The local end of this tunnel is port 5902 which you must connect the vnc
viewer to, i.e. then run

vncviewer localhost:2

Hope that helps.
