Hmmm... if you're redirecting with -L5901:localhosr:5900, it should be 5900 on the server: so either 127.0.0.1:1 (through tunnel) or mmy.xp.box.ip:0 (direct) would work.

But it's working, so obviously I'm misunderstanding/ wrongly assuming some detail here.
Since it seems like it's working, I would guess I'm doing it right. But if anyone sees an error I'm making, please tell me.
Looks like you got it.

You might want to play with encodings to optimise speed on slow connections... Not sure how right off, though.
