Taking a desktop screenshot remotely

Hello Ubuntu Users,

I want to take a screenshot of a remote machine without the use of VNC.
I have SSH setup so I can access the machine. But how do I go about
taking a desktop screenshot on a remote machine in ssh?

Best Regards,
Dean

Try manually defining the DISPLAY variable, generally it is :0.0
(DISPLAY=":0.0")
