Reviewed application Droid VNC server for Android by Julyano87

February 21, 2012 Category :Software Off

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 vnc of our mobile phones via PC. In this regard, today I’m 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

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

February 2, 2012 Category :Software Off

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 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)) vnc in the file. Vmx.

RealVNC will preview vnc vnc for mobile platforms at the Symbian Smartphone Show expected in the 21 to 22 October in London.
Extension of its flagship vnc Enterprise Edition mobile devices, after a first beta we can find the product on the shelves in the first half of 2009

With this last piece vnc now supports a wide range of mobile phones and PDAs including Symbian, Microsoft Mobile, iPhone, Linux and BlackBerry platforms, with support for additional platforms in the pipeline.
In addition to providing remote control and management of PCs and mobile devices (for this already existed software such as vnc Viewer for Symbian), for the first time it will be possible for an IT department to control and manage mobile devices using vnc.

VNC – Virtual Network Computing

December 2, 2011 Category :Software Off

vnc is an acronym that stands for Virtual Network Computing: is a program that allows you to control a remote computer through any type of network.
In vnc very simple terms vnc does is to connect two computers directly configured appropriately giving the ability to control, by one of two machines,
the remote computer as if you were physically sitting in front of it, used if you want the GUI , mouse,
and everything that you can access with the privileges of the user with which you connect to the remote machine.

vnc was initially developed by Olivetti before being sold to research laboratories in Cambridge by AT & T,
but the mass distribution of the program only came with the birth of the project RealVNC was born as an offshoot of the original project and then be developed in a manner autonomously.
Today there are several versions of vnc such as the previously mentioned RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, etc..
The program is available for all types of operating systems and for almost all types of hardware architectures.

The implementation of vnc environments for GNU / Linux is based on Xvnc, a server software that does not connect to a real X display, but uses a dummy X11 session to which multiple clients can connect.
It should be noted that X already offers the ability to natively run a program on a computer displaying the windows in the X servant of another computer. vnc, unlike this implementation,
allows connection to a GNU / Linux, even from another machine that does not have an X server installed, for example, a PC with Windows. In addition to any vnc client is great is a little more than a few hundred KB (can be conveniently contained in a floppy disk) and requires a configuration very easy to do.

x11vnc is the version of ‘vnc‘ for GNU / Linux I chose for my install Debian GNU / Linux and where you will find a guide to using the base in these pages.

A protocol, not a program vnc

November 23, 2011 Category :Software Off

We begin our discussion by clarifying that vnc is not a program. Rather, we are talking about a protocol,
or a “language of communication” that must be implemented (or “understood”) by the specific software you want to provide access capabilities through this technology.

Originally created at Olivetti & Oracle Research Lab vnc (ORL), source code and specifications of Virtual Network Computer vnc have been been publicly released,
promoting the proliferation of parallel implementations (all but compatible) more and more equipped.

Among the most significant, we might remember that the Real vnc , a company founded by the original developers, TightVNC,
an open source project aimed at narrow-band connections, and Ultra vnc , which also comes under a free license but with many additional features compared to competitors .

Precisely because of the larger dowry that comes with Ultra vnc , specifically in the article we will refer to this implementation.

As already mentioned, however, the various implementations of vnc are all compatible with each other: this means that a client has, for example,
UltraVNC will connect to a remote computer which could perform RealVNC or vice versa.
