    The Chicken of the VNC


    2012 - 02.29

    The vnc (Virtual Network Computing) is a protocol that allows remote control of other computers, those are Mac, Windows or Linux.
    In practice it can be seen in a window on your Mac screen of another computer and you can interact with. The system consists of a server that sends the information screen and a client part that displays and interacts. The good part is that the Mac integrate internally the server side (Apple Remote Desktop) and you just have the client software to use this system.
    A program I’m using a lot in this period for the management of my prototype of the Mac Media Center “Chiken of the vnc“. Although the name suggests anything but a program, I can assure you that it does its job as a vnc client. The program is not recent but very stable.
    It ‘easy to configure. First of all is installed on your Mac from which we want to control, for example, another Mac
    Once you start choosing the Connection menu, and set new connection as follows:

    Chicken window

    where Host is the IP address of the machine we want to control (server) and your password is the password protection of the link.
    Before Clik to connect must also configure the server machine. Just go to System Preferences> Sharing> Services and tick the Apple Remote Desktop. Obviously to vnc make the changes necessary to login as administrator.

    remote

    Now Clik on access privileges and configure as follows:

    configuration

    Select the user and the privileges that you want to grant (for all system administration) and then enter your password to control the screen.
    Now you can connect Clik on the client machine and you will see the screen with the desktop of the other machine.
    To be able to easily work you must have a banda pretty fast, I’m using the airport to 54Mbps and refresh the desktop of the server machine is a little bit but nothing to worry loupe.
    Chicken of the vnc is an open source program.

    VNC Pocket Office Pro 4: Control remotely via WiFi and 3G


    2012 - 02.21

    vnc Pocket Office allows you to manage your vnc computer remotely as if you had there before, as is displayed on the screen of your iDevice screen on the monitor and make much of this work possible through a series of gestures.
    vnc Pocket Office does not require server software to install as it uses the server built into Mac OS X. Before you start using it you must enable screen sharing in the Sharing section of System Preferences. It should be noted that remote management can be done either via WiFi or via 3G. The difference not only in the refresh rate is that if you are inside your LAN, the IP address displayed? Is the same which is inserted in the respective areas of the app. If instead you are in 3G and the computer is downstream of a router? must obtain a public IP.

    In the first screen that appears will have a series of three-dimensional cubes each representing a remote server. In order to become active should I add the data server to the list. For each server? Need to enter various settings, clarified one by one below the corresponding field.

    After that you just have to connect to the computer you are on WiFi or 3G vnc
    There comes a tutorial that explains in English how to use various gestures to access commands and functions to support. Below is a translation in Italian.

    In VMWare ESXi you can connect to each virtual machine via a VNC server


    2012 - 02.02

    already present in the core of our ESXi, specifying a password, a port for

    each of the VM and logically enabling the vnc service.

    Procedure (from Carry out each of the VM for which you want skilfulness this feature):

    1) Make the Power Off Virtual Machine.

    2) Connect to the server via SSH or using the VMware ESXi Hidden Console (alt + F1) if you are physically on the server.

    3) Posizionari inside the following path: / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/CentOS 64bit (in this case we are performing the operation on vnc a CentOS 64-bit).

    4) Edit the file. Vmx, in this case called: CentOS 64bit.vmx (ESXi provides you with “you” as an editor).

    5) Add at the end of this file the following lines of code:

    remotedisplay.vnc.port = “port”

    remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”

    remotedisplay.vnc.password = “password”

    Replace the values ​​”Ports” (to use a different port each VM) and “password” with those you deisiderati. example:

    remotedisplay.vnc.port = “5901″

    remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”

    remotedisplay.vnc.password = “esxiVnCView”

    6) Exit and save (in vi press Esc and type: wq).

    7) Carry out the Power On the VM.

    8) Use a vnc client to connect to the vnc port of your virtual machine by inserting ESXi server IP (not the specific VM) and the specified port (different for each VM)) in the file. Vmx.

    VNC Server on mobile gprs or hsdpa impossible


    2012 - 01.27

    Hello everyone as the subject …..
    I noticed that Vodafone and Wind (I only tried them) actually do not allow exercising this option.
    All this serves very well into the nat that is local, so applications can not be discussed but when the handheld starts in his regular gprs acquiring ip vnc does not act
    here are my steps

    1) Installation remora dyndns to create a host of power;
    2) Installation of mobile vnc server in order to be able to manage the office and provide vnc assistance to the handheld (in my case a Trimble TSC2)

    vnc works where the doors are usually 5900, 5800 and perhaps 5500

    making a port scanner on the ip of the handheld connected to GPRS or HSDPA are closed,
    I now ask you if this is a solvable problem:), maybe with a different operator from wind and vodafone
    Thanks to those who want to enlighten me

    Real VNC implements the iDevice in cars


    2012 - 01.07

    Real vnc, the company that developed the popular vnc remote control software, has implemented IOS systems manageable by their programs.

    The company that owns the software for Virtual Network Computing has officially announced the implementation of IOS systems manageable.

    Recall that vnc allows you to remotely manage multiple operating systems. It is widely used in large companies to provide remote support to vnc users.

    What does this kind of implementation? RealVNC has said that you can manage our iPhone / iPod through a car stereo via the touch screen display.

    Currently there are several radio that manage our iPod / iPhone, but the control is done directly from the car. And still you do not have full control dell’iDevice.

    With vnc, the screen would be displayed on the display thus having complete access to your iPod or iPhone.

    VNC Server for Android.


    2011 - 12.22

    Hello everyone,

    now playing around and trying a few things about Android I stumbled upon a project on google code that bodes well.

    The project, open source, allows the installation of a binary on your system Android, which, when launched, opens port 5901 for the reception vnc connections.

    For those who do not know what vnc:

    The Virtual Network Computing (or vnc) is remote control software and are used to administer your remote computer by installing vnc a vnc server on your machine and setting a proper password VNC client allows you to receive an image of the screen and provide input keyboard and mouse to the server computer.
    In fact, we can manage the server computer from another location, like your physical computer.

    The vnc server is a convenient way to manage many computers on the network (Internet or intranet and are) using a single workstation.

    They are often used to remotely control servers that have neither monitor nor keyboard.

    VNC: how to manage servers remotely


    2011 - 12.13

    We begin by clarifying that with vnc does not mean a particular program, but a category of programs that allow remote control of a computer.
    The acronym stands for Virtual Network Computing vnc and the common feature is the use of such software RFB protocol, Remote Frame Buffer.
    In this article we use a vnc server on a Linux system on a Windows system. The information provided will be helpful, however, in any case configuration.

    The scheme is simple: on the one hand to control the computer on which to install the vnc server, the computer controlling the other hand using the client component,
    the so-called viewer. The two machines can be connected via a private vnc LAN or through the public Internet.
    In the latter case the work is likely to be more burdensome for the need to configure other devices such as firewalls and routers.

    If the workstation client establishes a connection to the server will see the desktop of the remote machine in a window of the program.
    We can act on it directly with your keyboard and mouse as if we were our physically sitting at the computer.
    The cool thing about this is that the operating systems involved in communication can be different: Linux, Windows or MacOSX.
    We could control a Windows 2003 server on our Linux box, or, conversely, a Linux server from a Windows XP station.

    If you read the article on vnc client free for all major operating systems, you’ll quickly realize that Mac OS X does not offer the wide selection they offer other operating systems (Linux in particular), and that in fact most of the software outstanding are paid.

    Well, what (perhaps) did not know is that Mac OS X has everything you need to connect to a vnc server and therefore does not require third-party applications (except special needs, that is).

    Those jokers Cupertino fact have taken steps to integrate the default vnc client, but they thought it best to leave it in the shade, away from prying eyes. However, given the usefulness of the application to see how the case has cast it as necessary and put on display between applications. All this vnc after having admired this
