VNC Connection

1ssh log in   (I am using centos as root ,main folder is /root/ but following command is fine with any folder)
2、Generate auto login key. command ssh-keygen <Enter> If using password, it will be fine, but less secure.
3cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub  Copy to oracle console。
4、copyVNC Parameters(linux/mac)and write to myvnc.sh (command:ssh -o ProxyCommand='ssh -W %h:%p -p 443 [email protected]' -N -L localhost:5900:XXXXXX:5900 XXXXXX
5ifconfig to check local IP 10.0.3.5 Change 'myvnc.sh   -N -L localhost:5900'. localhost change to 10.0.3.5:9988 (Note:If you have public IP,(not from NAT)use 0.0.0.0 ,Aliyun,tencent Yun all using NAT,So it has to listen on localhost IP)。
6、run sh myvnc.sh ,you might need to enter yes ,and password for your key
7、Open local firewall 9988 port.
8、From local computer: vnc view <cloud public IP>:9988 to connect
