I plan to use Universal VNC to remotely control the home computer while on my college network. I would download torrents to the home computer, then FTP those files to my laptop.
I want to find out if the campus network blocks port 5900 or RFB protocol, both of which Universal VNC uses, are blocked.
I can't find a way to do this except by calling the campus IT (I wouldn't tell them it's for filesharing) and am worried about what questions they would ask me.
So what are "legitimate" reasons to use remote desktop software while on campus?
