TigerVNC is an open source Virtual Network Computing (VNC) server and client software, started as a fork of TightVNC in 2009. [2] The client supports Windows, Linux and macOS. The server supports Linux. There is no server for macOS [3] and as of release 1.11.0 the Windows server is no longer maintained. [4]
Alternatively, a machine (which may be a workstation or a network server) with screen, keyboard, and mouse can be set up to boot and run the VNC server as a service or daemon, then the screen, keyboard, and mouse can be removed and the machine stored in an out-of-the way location. Users commonly deploy VNC as a cross-platform remote desktop system.
x11vnc keeps a copy of the X server's frame buffer in RAM.The X11 programming interface XShmGetImage is used to retrieve the frame buffer pixel data. x11vnc compares the X server's frame buffer against its copy to see which pixel regions have changed (and hence need to be sent to the VNC viewers.)
A server for macOS is available under a commercial source code license only, without SDK or binary version provided. [3] Constantin Kaplinsky developed TightVNC, [ 4 ] using and extending the RFB protocol of Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to allow end-users to control another computer's screen remotely.
ThinLinc uses SSH for transport encryption and authentication, and VNC for graphics, keyboard and mouse. Access to client devices is provided through different open protocols such as PulseAudio for sound (playback and recording), NFS for file system access (using a user space NFS server), and Telnet/RFC2217 for serial port access.
Screen blanking: the ability to prevent the user of the host/server from viewing what is currently being displayed on the screen while a remote user is connected. Remote Printing: the remote user can print a file from the host computer to a printer connected to the client computer.
UltraVNC is the result of the merger of Vdacc-VNC started by Rudi De Vos in 1999 and eSVNC started by Sam in 2002. [1] UltraVNC is developed in the C, C++, and Java programming languages. Since release 1.0.6.4, UltraVNC server can work as a Windows service under User Account Control (UAC).
X2Go is open source remote desktop software for Linux that uses a modified NX 3 protocol. [7] X2Go gives remote access to a Linux system's graphical user interface. It can also be used to access Windows systems through a proxy.
