Another great review by our staff Julyano87, now we describe an application to remotely control your PC from our smartphones. Thanks Julian, your contribution is always very valuable and your reviews always well done, neat and very detailed!

I leave you with his words:

“The remote control is always a perfect way to help all those operations that can not be performed directly on our vnc computers. There are, in computer science literature, many methods and programs that perform this operation very well, lately, thanks to the development in the technology of mobile phones, has become possible to manage our home PCs even by them. If the utility of this operation has always been undisputed, surely it is also useful to the opposite operation: the remote management of our mobile phones via PC. In this regard, today I’m vnc going to review the application:

NB To use this application you must:
1) own the rights to the root
2) Have installed the java plugin in our browser
3) Install a vnc client (in the review I used RealVNC Viewer, a free application available at this address)

-Just open the application you will be facing a screen composed of a minimalist backdrop and two large buttons that have the function to start and stop the vnc server. It ‘s all we need. Tappiamo on “Start Server” and move on

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.

vnc 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 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.

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.

This article adheres to the campaign (launched from me now):

Did you mean: vnc ubuntu?

Answer: NO!

.. with the hope that vnc KUbuntu enter the Google cache.

A comprehensive guide, step by step, useful for enabling a vnc server can be used by any user. In this way, and ‘can log in to start a new session.
If you dis-connect vnc the vnc client does not end the X session (unless you explicitly log out) allowing us to re-connect to the same session again. The vnc server using a separate display (: 1) instead of the one used by the X server So ‘two or more’ sessions can be activated at the same time.

We have recently talked about every, a truly innovative application that allows us to play the games directly to iPhone for Mac or PC. Many have misunderstood the use of this app, mistaking it for a simple vnc client, but it is not so!

In fact, the power of this app is to be discovered: you can use your Mac or PC remotely controlled by the iPhone, like a touch screen computer completely! Not only that, you can play any game with vnc mouse and arrow keys can be used quickly and effectively! World of Warcraft mean anything? You just have to follow some important measures, otherwise you will see the game in spurts, too slow to be playable.

I refer to the guide / iPad Italy full review for details. The guide is long, but try to look at my video and follow the links at the bottom to see more video before commenting, I assure you that it’s worth it. And I assure you that we are not talking about a simple software to control your computer remotely!

In the previous article we saw how to open a shell on the remote computer and (hopefully) do some graphics application. If you want more control over the server that includes the performance of graphics applications and control the desktop, you have to resort to more sophisticated solutions. We are talking about the protocol vnc (Virtual Network Computing), which allows you to remotely control the desktop, receiving input and sending output, so you can access the session currently open.
vnc is a desktop sharing system which uses the RFB protocol to administer your remote computer by installing a vnc server on your machine and setting an appropriate password is vnc allows clients to receive a picture of the screen and to send keyboard and mouse input to the server, in fact, we can manage the server from another location, like your physical computer. The RFB Protocol, used by vnc, is very simple, based on a graphic primitive sent from server to client (“Draw a rectangle of pixel at location X, Y
specified “), taking into account that the image must be gradually updated. However, this means that vnc, in its simplest form, often using a lot of bandwidth, which is why they were put in place several mechanisms to reduce the overhead of communication. For example, you can only send the rectangles that change between one frame and the next, but of course this mechanism only works well if a small portion of the screen is changed (for example, the mouse pointer is moved or a character that was written ), while almost all the advantages we lose if for example we want to see a video or move a window. The obvious consequence is that VNC gives its best when you use a broadband connection (LAN, DSL, etc..).
Regarding the safety aspect, the default vnc is not secure, because the data are transmitted in the clear. However, you can make it safe tunneling over SSH or VPN connection, so that data is sent fully encrypted in a tunnel (we shall see later).
vnc can also be used on Linux to create new sessions to be vnc accessed, but this article we will just access to the current session, ie the so-called “desktop sharing”.

As I wrote in another post you can access your Mac remotely, but if you want to control your Mac from a Windows system?

One immediate solution is to use a famous software for the Microsoft world, Real vnc , this application allows you to add the VNC protocol to Windows systems.
Real vnc I suggest you download the free version, the software is also available for GNU / Linux.

During installation, you can choose the modules to be installed, by default installs the server and the viewer,
a choice that I advise you to be able to make more operations possible.

After installation you can use the Viewer going to call Run vnc Viewer from the Programs menu / RealVNC / vnc Viewer 4,
to connect you just enter the IP address of the server and, after pressing OK, you will need to identify themselves with a password of your choice.

With the program Real vnc Viewer, you can also change the connection options,
in fact if you press the Options before you connect you can have different formats in configurations where you can change the behavior of the vnc viewer.
If vnc you want a good yield of the service I advise you to double check the setting of the maximum number of colors and the data compression algorithm.

(vnc stands for Virtual Network Computing) is a graphical system designed to access remote machines: protocol-based RFB (Remote Frame Buffer),
allows you to remotely control a machine. So, as guaranteed by the Remote Desktop feature of Microsoft Windows systems,
it is possible to act on a remote computer as if it were local, acting on your desktop (and vnc managing the components)
through the use of mouse and keyboard.

The vnc system is based on two distinct components. On the one hand you have the server,
need to be installed on your computer that you want to take remote control,
the other a client (or viewer) to be installed on the machine from which you want to access (and control) and remote.
You must also remember that vnc uses TCP ports, with the standard configuration, ranging from 5900 to 5906 (corresponding to as many remote screens).
The following steps illustrate how to establish a connection between a remote computer that uses Ubuntu 10.04 “Lucid Lynx”
(which will act as the viewer) and a remote machine (in this case, on a LAN) with Microsoft Windows XP SP2.

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, vnc 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 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. vnc
