+Using x11vnc \\
+Install package. \\
+Ssh into remote system using a PuTTY window. \\
+Start service with x11vnc -display :0 \\
+x11vnc -storepasswd (set password one time, accept default location) \\
+x11vnc -rfbauth /path/to/password/file \\
+Use TightVNC or TigerVNC viewer to connect to remote system.
+Notes:\\
+Geometry will match host machine; the client machine may be too small.
+Sample commands to be made via PuTTY window on remote machine:
+<code>
+$ x11vnc -display :0 -clip 1366x700+0+0 -rfbauth /path/to/passwd_file
+$ x11vnc -display :0 -scale 1366x768 -rfbauth /path/to/passwd_file
+</code>
+Then use TightVNC viewer and connect to remote host from the client PC.
