*Additional note:
After your SSH first session has ended, and both computers have been shut down, to restart another session, you will have to enter the two commands again when restarting the server side of the session, and then connect again to your ad hoc wifi connection.
sudo systemctl start ssh
x11vnc -once -loop -localhost -noxdamage -repeat -rfbport 5900 -shared
If you did enter a password on the client side when you created your keys (optional but a good idea) you will have to open Remmina again, click on your connection and edit the key settings on the SSH tab. Click on the >Identity file radio button. From the menu that appears when clicking on the box to the right select >id_rsa. Click the >Open button on the bottom right on the window, and your saved private key will load to Remmina. Click the >Save button at the bottom left of the SSH tab window. You will have to do the same for your saved SSH secure shell connection as well. Connect to your ad hoc wifi, and then right click on your connection, and click connect. Effectively both sides of your server/client connection are now prompting you for a password to allow the keys to be exchanged for an SSH connection. Only the keys are passed via wifi, not any clear text passwords you enter on either side of the connection. Remember to issue the command below at the end of your session, effectively closing down your SSH server from any new connections, and then closing the terminal to shut down x11vnc, and resetting your firewall to >deny incoming, before connecting to any new wifi Internet access.
sudo systemctl stop ssh
