Hi guys, I am not sure if I have posted this in the right forum, apologies if I haven't. I have recently installed a Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty server and very much enjoy this side of the computing world. I simply wanted to be able to access this server from the internet. I installed TightVNC on a remote windows machine and turned on the remote desktop preferences on my Ubuntu server. All worked fine and I could access my server. But I needed to be able to transfer files. TightVNC has this ability but seemed to require a server version of TightVNC on the host computer, so consequently, I installed it on my Ubuntu machine. However, now, I keep getting an error. I log onto the address of my server from the internet and all is fine so far, it asks me for the password, which I type in. It recognises the password, but then has problems and instantly kicks me, displaying the message 'Connection Closed' I have a log of what is going on on my Ubuntu server and if I posted it here, just wondered if anyone could shed some light as to what is going on as I can't make head nor tail of it. Any response would be greatly appreciated log: vncSockConnect.cpp: accepted connection from 86.137.127.198 vncClient.cpp: vncClient() executing... vncClient.cpp: client connected : 86.137.127.198 (id 20) vncServer.cpp: AddClient() done vncClient.cpp: negotiated protocol version, RFB 3.8 vncClient.cpp: enabling TightVNC protocol extensions vncClient.cpp: performing VNC authentication i:\tightvnc-1.3.10-setup\vnc_winsrc\winvnc\vncPasswd.h: PASSWD : ToText called i:\tightvnc-1.3.10-setup\vnc_winsrc\winvnc\vncPasswd.h: PASSWD : ToText called Wed Jun 24 15:31:53 2009 vncMenu.cpp: tray icon updated ok WallpaperUtils.cpp: KillActiveDesktop WallpaperUtils.cpp: unable to access Active Desktop object:80040154 vncDesktop.cpp: initialising desktop server vncDesktop.cpp: KillScreenSaver... vncDesktop.cpp: SCR-WBB: current display: w=1024 h=768 bpp=32 vRfrsh=60. vncService.cpp: unable to open desktop, error=120 vncService.cpp: SelectHDESK() to Default (3 from 38 vncService.cpp: SelectHDESK failed to close old desktop 38, error=170 vncServer.cpp: failed to initialize desktop object VSocket.cpp: closing socket vncDesktop.cpp: killing desktop server vncServer.cpp: Authenticated() done vncServer.cpp: RemoveClient() done vncClient.cpp: ~vncClient() executing... vncClient.cpp: deleting socket vncMenu.cpp: tray icon updated ok vncMenu.cpp: tray icon updated ok WallpaperUtils.cpp: unable to access Active Desktop object:80040154
