Thanks naq !!!
I have problems with settung up the VNC Desktop.
When I type in "vncserver :1" it says:
"-bash: vncserver: command not found"

What should I do?

help anyone...

[naq]

What OS do you have?
What's the output when you enter the command to install vncserver?

# apt-get install vncserver
or
# yum install vncserver

Again Naq, you seem to have the answer to my problems. Now with these new abilities comes more questions . I've managed to stream a .avi file using this guide. However, I notice that the video is not 100% smooth (is this to be expected when my home connection is 7Mbps/512Kbps?). Is there a more efficient way to do so or is this something I have to live with? Also, I've managed to unrar a file using winrar using the command unrar e file.r00, but it saves it to my /home/username folder. Is there a way to save it somewhere else or am I SOL?

[naq]

Not sure what you mean about the streaming videos. Are you trying to stream a video directly from the server to your computer?

To unrar into a specified directory:
$ unrar e file.rar /home/username/folder

The destination follows the source.

Type "man unrar" for the unrar manual. Or go to http://www.edenwaith.com/support/gui...man/unrar.html

Yeah, I'm trying to stream from my server to my computer. Thanks for the rar tip, it worked for me.

Your home connection is fast enough, but I suspect the speed of ONE stream connection between your server and PC isn't fast enough. I'm assuming the distance between them is the Atlantic Ocean(?). Hence, for ftp transfers, we can use multiple connections. However, I don't know of a way to stream videos using multiple connections.

Thanks anyways naq, it seems to have fixed itself; it's now playing silky smooth. Now i can watch shows a few minutes after pre . Once again , thank you, i really appreciate your help.

I am using CentOS, so my command to sintall was
# yum install vncserver. Some how it doesn't work though.

When I enter "#yum install vncserver" I get:

# yum install vncserver

Can you try: yum install vnc-server ? I forgot the dash.

Edit: Hopefully, that will either install it or show that you already have it installed. Then, try typing "vnc" and press Tab twice to see if the command is there, and whether it's "vncserver" or "vnc-server".
