Provides connectivity between 2 or more devices, but this is not possible without the VNC Connect network. It is needed to make remote operations like accessing folders, changing settings and other options on a computer, and other modifications. The connection is made using the IP address of the other devices.
RealVNC's VNC Viewer is one of the 2 most impressive VNC applications I've seen. The other one is UltraVNC. Both applications do exactly the same and your final decision will mainly depend on your personal likings. RealVNC viewer connects to a VNC server. RealVNC offers Server products, but they are not free. UltraVNC offers free Server products. To connect to a server, simply input the IP address of the server and the password. There aren't many options that you can play with at this moment. UltraVNC gives you a little more freedom as to how you want to carry out a connection. This application works extremely great while connected to a VNC server. It allows you to copy/paste content from the local machine to the remote machine as if you were working on the same computer. It also allows for file transfers. The more graphic detail you enable from the connection screen, the slower the connection will be if you are using the Internet. If you are on a LAN, speed will be much faster. The file transfer capabilities of this free edition are not something to call about, but they work well. RealVNC offers an enterprise edition of this application, which is way better, but at a price.
v6.19.1115.42122 [May 3, 2017]
- VNC Viewer is no longer bundled. You are free to download VNC Viewer to as many computers and devices you want to control from as you like.
- You can now drag-and-drop a computer onto a label in the sidebar to assign that label to the computer. To create a new label, right-click on the Address book.
- You can set the QueryOfferViewOnly VNC Server parameter to FALSE to remove the view-only option from the prompt shown when VNC Viewer users are attempting to connect (leaving just the reject and accept options).
Excellent tool for remotely controlling other computers. It allows you to establish a secure connection to another computer and view programs in text mode
