Sys Admin Tweaks for the iPhone: VNC Client and SSH Server

This appeals to the Sys Admin inside me, as I’m always looking for ways to do remote admin: you can run a remote desktop client (aka VNC) on your iPhone and control a PC running a VNC Server. Nate True has taken the TightVNC code and tweaked it to run on the iPhone. Sweet. He has both source and binaries available on his site along with detailed instructions on set up and configuration.

After poking around the site a bit more, I also found detailed instructions on installing an SSH server on your iPhone. This way, you can push files to it over SSH, or simply connect to it to poke around.
