remote access 8.0

hello, everyone :)
so I want to control my fileserver remotely, but the only thing I've managed to do so far is install vncserver, so I run this command in console and then can connect to it with my tight vnc Linux program. But the only thing I get is the same console. And I know it's lame, but I have an X Gnome on the box and I'd like to use it remotely aswell. Any hints would be nice, please. Thank you ;)
 
Edit ~/.vnc/xstartup.

This will start gnome on VNC:
Code: 
/usr/local/bin/gnome-session &

Another option is to install net/vino.
 
ok, my file now looks like this:
Code: 
#!/bin/sh

[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
#twn &
/usr/local/bin/gnome-session &

The gnome looks a bit different though, but it starts. The problem is:
The reason I wanted gnome is controlling those file and folder permissions (I can't control them via console, cuz I dunno how :))
and when I click Properties on any file or folder, whole thing crash. I mean the main cosole screen stays, but gnome seem to reload itself and does it everytime :)


And I also wanted vncserver to start automatically at boot, so I won't log in and start it, but all the posts I've found were not helpful, as noone describes how to make scripts :)) so a hint about that would be helpful aswell. thanks for ur time, I'm a n00b:stud

Click to expand...
chmod(1) and chown(8). Learn how to use them. Using a GUI just to change permissions is severe overkill.
 
It's a simple application. It'll show that X forwarding works.
