Cygwin: Theoretical Setup, bidirectional encryption and traffic for VNC

[David t]

I'm an IT Consultant, and I'm trying to figure out if SSH has the
technological possibility of doing what I'm trying to do here.

Currently, I use VNC to remote control clients computers for
troubleshooting, and configuration help. If they're behind a NAT router, I
have to find out IP address of local system they're using, have them telnet,
or log into the router and enable port forwarding so that I can access ports
5900-5901 on their system. They install and run VNC, and then I find out the
IP address of their router and I can dialin.

What I WANT to have, is a pre-made self extracting script that will install
VNC, and a SSH client (putty or the like) that will connect to a Cygwin
server configured on my local machine, with the appropriate port forwarding
to my server. Then, once they connect with SSH, I can see their connection,
and initialize a VNC session to their server.


Is this possible with Cygwin? If so, could you elaborate some of the steps
that would be needed to do it?

Thanks,
David T
