Cygwin: Theoretical Setup, bidirectional encryption and traffic for VNC


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
