vnc screensharing of linux computers on downstairs laptop (but no copy/paste)

get iterm going on mac and say tunnelxmirzy or tunnelxcanny where x is session #

start up mac’s ‘Screen sharing app’ in Applications/

Its menu may already provide the connection you desire e.g., canopus:3
(This will occur if you have previously attached to that server and window #
via this app.)

if not, go to the regular mac “go” menu and select “go to server” at bottom

a window should open up with “favorite servers” such as

vnc://localhost:590x where you should choose same ‘x’ as above

Unfortunately I cannot copy and paste across hosts via this vnc software.
