CentOS - Nov 2014 - Remote Desktop Recommendations

Folks

I'm looking for a way to access a GUI desktop on a Centos 7 server 
from a Windows client.  I have tried:
- X2go from EPEL (fails immediately, apparently they are working on a 
solution, but...)
- Freenx (doesn't exist for EL7)

Both the above work fine with Centos 6.

Are there any known working solutions?

Thanks...

I use tiger vnc myself, but I don't access my desktops from a Windows
client.  I assume any Windows vnc client should work with the tiger vnc server,
though.

yum install tigervnc-server

David,

You didn?t indicate whether you are trying to do this on a LAN or across the
public Internet? Classic VNC is not a secure protocol, but there are variations
of it that are secure.

If you just want to run GUI programs rather than fully ?screen share,? then you
can use an X Windows client or xpra.

I have done all this using OS X so honestly I am not familiar with the Windows
clients to recommend. I have used Cygwin, but only to run command line programs
such as ssh, rsync, etc.  Others will have to make suggestions based on actual
experience.
