Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the Remote Frame Buffer protocol (RFB) to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network.

In order to create a secure connection to the server computer, SSH is used.

Server vs. Viewer

In many cases, VNC allows people to use Single Board Computers remotely, a common practice if you are using a Raspberry Pi "headless".
