Port forwarding.

[Canoris]

Cant beat SSH but porting through that is a little more complicated. However the better way to go than just running VNC openly.
As for how to set it up through SSH i cant say. I have never tried. I have seen many a tut online though and should be easy to find.
I guess it ultimately depends on what you want to achieve from the connection.
If its just fileshare then obviously a server is the easiest way.
But if its to do more then perhaps VNC is the way to go.

In order to setup the SSH, I need figure out how to forward my router for it... I don't know how though....
