You will, however, need to download two programs: a SSH client and a VNC client. The SSH client will make a secure connection between your computer and the VNC server and the VNC client will use this connection to draw a display on your screen. text/html 2015-08-26T21:04:09+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.cs.vassar.edu/old_pages/vnc/osx?rev=1440623049&do=diff Using VNC on Mac OS X Setup Download and install a secure shell client As you may have heard, the Mac OS X operating system is built off of a version of Unix, FreeBSD.

This me ans that you can easily have a secure remote display without using VNC by tunneling through ssh using 'ssh -X'.
