Simple Tunnel Screen Sharing is an Automator Application Workflow to create and remember SSH tunnel settings and connect via Screen Sharing.
This little bit of automation simplifies the task of connecting to VNC servers securely through an SSH Tunnel.
It checks to see if there are any remote hosts already known and available, and remembers the last used port, user, and password of each successful connection. It also automatically adds unknown hosts to the known hosts selection.
Simple Tunnel Screen Sharing is licensed as Freeware.
Requirements:
- Snow Leopard Mac OS 10.6 or higher
- Automator 2 or higher
- Screen Sharing utility that is pre-installed with Snow Leopard
- ssh-agent that is pre-installed with Snow Leopard
I have not really done any testing with this other than on my own Snow Leopard system. I decided to release in case it could be useful for others out there, but please if anyone has any problems suggestions or improvements, I am all ears. Comments are welcome. Thanks.
