In a terminal, run the following command: vncserver In order to do this, ssh in to the machine where you’ll be accessing the remote desktop. it's running a VNC server).Before we can connect to the remote desktop, we need to start the VNC server on the remote machine.

You can even install the avahi port, and set up a service, so the VNC session shows up in Finder (although there's a Finder preference to change to make them show up since OS X 10.8, IIRC), just like a Mac that has "screen sharing" enabled (i.e. Where is the TCP port on which the server is running.Į.g. Since I have xterms open all the time on my mac, I generally do it like so: open vnc://: Just restart the VNC client (or close the window and open a new connection, if you've got multiple connections open), and it's all OK again. Since scaling is turned on, this usually results in a small screen that cannot be read. The OS X VNC client will reconnect (great!) but it sizes the window oddly, and I can't resize it. I've mostly been using TigerVNC from ports (seems to be the fastest with OS X's VNC client), and the only issue I have is when I restart the VNC server while connected to it. The built-in VNC client with OS X works just great with most VNC servers I've tried on FreeBSD. I did find a menu item labelled "connect to server", but that just gives me connection failures, perhaps because it's defaulting a URI type of afp:// which probably has nothing to do with vnc - or perhaps because the tool is unrelated to vnc.]

Still trying to figure out how to invoke the client built into OSX - it's not at the path I found on the net, /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications Looks like I need to know the right invocation to feed to Finder, which doesn't have anything like a button labelled 'screen sharing'. So still looking for alternatives, but making progress.
No flakiness so far, but the Mac client for tigervnc seems unwilling to let me connect to multiple servers at the same time, and Mac's GUI interface seems unwilling to let me launch multiple copies of the client program. I now have tigervnc running on one server and on the Mac client.

[Update, after first answer received: is a great source for finding software of this type.

I don't have Apple's release code names memorized.
When referring to OS X releases, please use release numbers in your answers, not just names of cats - or else link to a page that translates the cat names to release numbers. a client from realvnc that runs in the chrome browser (ugh!).
