What I'm trying to do is use VNC through an SSH tunnel.
I've looked all over this thread- http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ustom+port+ssh
What I did was set up port forwarding for BOTH 5900-5900 and xxx-xxx (custom port.) I'm using a dynamic dns service that points to my IP addy.

I could already go into VNC without a problem. Going with SSH has driven me crazy though.

As per the guide, I set up copssh (to the best of my ability) but it won't let me create and add keys (not sure if that even matters.) The ports match up for both copssh and the vnc client (using tightvnc.)
This is what I get outputting from the Xterm when I try to run it all.

Code:
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Connecting to -user- port xxx.
debug1: Connection established.
debug1: permanently_set_uid: 0/0
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/identity type -1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id_rsa type-1
debug1: identity file /root/.ssh/id-dsa type -1
debug1: ssh_exchange_identification: RFB 003.008
After that, it sits. I tried opening VNC Viewer to connect but it is unable to do so with localhost:1.

Not sure what to do now. Apologies if there is not enough info. It's been a long day and I thought I had this figured out but I guess not.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: Machine is Win7 64 bit.
