Introduction

This page provides basic instructions for installing and configuring generic VNC Server applications.

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a standard, not an application. There are many different applications available that can function as VNC servers. TightVNC is a mature, freely-available option that has existed since 2001.

Since VNC is a protocol, it is cross-platform compatible, meaning Windows VNC clients can connect to and control Linux or OSX VNC servers, and vice versa, etc. VNC clients and servers from different companies often work together as well, though some companies develop proprietary versions.

Note: This page is provided as a reference only; Userful staff may not directly assist in the configuration of applications for your organizations systems.

Before you begin

For best results, you should ensure all drivers on your system are up to date, particularly drivers for your video cards/display adapters. It is recommended you check with your PC vendor for any available driver and other software updates and install them.

Windows PCs

Install TightVNC for Windows

TightVNC can be easily installed using standard Windows Installer.

1. Go to the TightVNC Download Page
2. Select the version of TightVNC for Windows matching your operating system (32-bit or 64-bit)
3. Download and run it, following the installation wizard
4. Select «Typical» when prompted for Setup Type. If you select «Custom», ensure «TightVNC Server» is selected.
5. Ensure «Register TightVNC Server as a system service (recommended)» is enabled.
6. Register TightVNC Server as a system service when prompted.
7. Set and record a password for password-based authentication — this is strongly recommended for security.
8. Set and record an administrative password (optional). This allows you to prevent the end user from being able to alter the VNC Server’s settings.

Setup is now complete.

For PCs running Windows 7 or older, it is also recommended to install the DFMirage Driver, available from the same Download page, for improved performance and responsiveness

TightVNC Server Configuration

TightVNC Server can run as either an application or service.

As an application, TightVNC is started either manually or automatically after user login, and runs only for that user.

As a service, TightVNC starts automatically when Windows boots, and runs no matter which user is logged in.

Application Mode

• Go to Start > Programs > TightVNC > TightVNC Server (Application Mode) > Run TightVNC Server.

To quit TightVNC server:

• Right-click the TightVNC system tray icon and choose «Shutdown TightVNC Server».

Service Mode

By default, TightVNC installs as a service in Windows.

If you did not install TightVNC as a service during install and wish to change that, the simplest way is to reinstall TightVNC.

To start the TightVNC Server service one-time:

• Go to Start > Programs > TightVNC > TightVNC Server (Service Mode) > Start TightVNC Service
• Run net start tvnserver in the Windows command line.

To stop the TightVNC Server service:

• Go to Start > Programs > TightVNC > TightVNC Server (Service Mode) > Stop TightVNC Service
• Run net stop tvnserver in the Windows command line.

If you unchecked the recommended option «Register TightVNC Server as a system service» during installation, you will need to register TightVNC as a service.

• Go to Start > Programs > TightVNC > TightVNC Server (Service Mode) > Register TightVNC Service.

For further configuration options and documentation, see TightVNC’s Documentation Page

Multiple Displays

By default, TightVNC will capture and broadcast all displays on a system as a single feed. Userful by default will fit this feed into a 16:9 canvas. To capture only select displays, or portions of display(s), it is required to specify the display geometry you wish to capture:

1. Ensure TightVNC is already running, or is set to run as a service, as above
2. Open TightVNC Server configuration (right-click the system tray icon or find the Control Interface in the Start Menu)
3. Click the «Extra Ports» tab, and click «Add» to add a rule
4. Specify the port you wish to use (5901 is the default) and the geometry specification (in pixels) you need. (h. resolution x v. resolution + X offset + Y offset)
   1. For example, to capture the middle display of a 3-monitor setup where all displays are 1920×1080, you would use 1920x1080+1920+0
   2. To capture the first and second display on this system, you would use 3840x1080+0+0
   3. To capture the first and third display on this system, you would set two rules and sources, 1920x1080+0+0 and 1920x1080+3840+0
   4. To capture all displays individually, create rules for each display.
   5. Note that the canvas is not always the same, depending on monitor layout as it relates to video outputs. Obtaining the desired results from the first above configuration may necessitate changing the X value to either 0 or 3840.
5. Configure the Desktop Streamer (VNC) source for the appropriate port.

Mac/OSX

OSX version 10.4 and newer include VNC server functionality natively. No external software is necessary.

VNC is configured in System Preferences -> Sharing. In the Services panel, enable «Apple Remote Desktop». Use «Access Privileges» to set a password.

iOS/Android Mobile Devices

While there are many VNC client applications for Android and iOS, VNC server functionality for these platforms does not exist.

Linux Desktops

A great deal of free/open source VNC applications exist for many Linux distributions. Most have TightVNC available in their own repositories and installing it involves running some derivative of install tightvncserver.

Your distribution’s documentation or community is the best place to look for assistance when dealing with your particular distribution of Linux.

Installation

TightVNC is available as a self-installing setup executable. Just run it, and you will see a
familiar installation wizard which will allow you to read the installation notes, choose the
target directory, set installation options and so on.

After the setup program is finished, new «TightVNC» section will appear in the
Start->Programs menu. If you would like to have TightVNC started automatically and run
even while there is no user logged in, you should install it as a system service using the
corresponding menu item from the TightVNC Administration section. Note that installing the
WinVNC service is the only way to make Ctrl-Alt-Del work remotely (applicable only to Windows
NT/2000/XP systems).

TightVNC defaults to install to the Program FilesTightVNC directory, but you can
choose any other location during the installation. Note that TightVNC does not install
anything in the system directory so an alternative way to install TightVNC is to just copy
the executable and DLL files into any directory you like (but in this case you’ll have
to create shortcuts to the programs manually).

If you want to install TightVNC on a number of computers, and do not want to repeatedly enter
the same password on each machine, install TightVNC once and set the password, then copy the
registry settings to other computers. TightVNC settings can be found in the following
sections in the registry:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareORLWinVNC3
• HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareORLWinVNC3

The TightVNC installer can work in silent mode and not ask questions during installation (but
it’s possible that it might show message boxes if there are any errors). In this mode
TightVNC will be installed into the default directory, that is, the TightVNC
subdirectory in the Program Files). Here is the command line to install TightVNC in
silent mode:

tightvnc-1.3.10-setup.exe /sp- /verysilent

Remote Upgrade

TightVNC servers can be upgraded remotely. This means that you can perform the TightVNC
installation working in an active TightVNC session. While the TightVNC service is running,
it’s impossible to replace its executable files in place, so the installer will copy new
files into a temporary location, and these new files will replace older versions during the
next reboot. The installer will prompt for reboot if it was not able to replace the
executables.

Before using this feature, you should read and understand the following:

• Remote upgrade requires rebooting the computer. If you want to be able to access
  your computer after the reboot, make sure you’re running WinVNC as a service,
  not in the application mode.
• If you’re running WinVNC service from some another VNC distribution, this
  installation procedure won’t replace it with the TightVNC service by default.
  This is a limitation that may be solved in future versions. However, there is a way
  to perform such an upgrade: install TightVNC into the same directory where old VNC
  files (WinVNC.exe and VNCHooks.dll) are installed. In this case,
  old binaries will be replaced by the new ones during the reboot, and there will be no
  need to re-install the service. Please note that the installer should show you the
  reboot prompt at the end of the installation, otherwise you probably selected wrong
  installation directory.
• There is a number of things that can prevent the machine to reboot correctly, and
  that can cause losing the control over the computer. In other words, there is NO
  WARRANTY that the remote upgrade procedure is absolutely reliable. To minimize
  possible risks, close all the running applications (besides the WinVNC service
  itself) before launching the TightVNC installer.

Getting Started

TightVNC, like normal VNC, has two parts: the Server (also referred to as WinVNC), which
shares the screen of the machine it’s running on, and the Viewer which shows the remote
screen received from the server. So to get started, you need to run a server on the machine
you want to access remotely, and connect to it with a viewer. TightVNC distribution for
Windows includes both the server and viewer parts.

Running a Server (WinVNC)

TightVNC Server can be started in one of the two ways:

• as an application (for current user only);
• as a Windows service (system-wide operation).

In the application mode, the server can be running only during the current user session, and
will close on the logout. To start WinVNC in the application mode, choose
Start->Programs->TightVNC->Launch TightVNC Server.

To make a machine accessible even while there is no user logged in, and to make the server
start automatically on reboot, the TightVNC Server should be running as a system service. To
install it as a service, choose
Start->Programs->TightVNC->Administration->Install VNC Service. In Windows
95/98/ME that will start the service immediately, while in Windows NT/2000/XP you’ll
have to start the service manually from the Control Panel or from the command line (net start
winvnc). In any case, it will be started automatically on the next system reboot. Note that
if the VNC service was started manually, you may have to run
Start->Programs->TightVNC->Administration->Run Service Helper, to make
WinVNC display its tray icon (see below).

Regardless of the way TightVNC Server was started, it will show the Properties window on the
first startup, to let you enter the passwords you will use in the viewer to access the
machine. Until a password is set, TightVNC will not accept incoming network connections.

In the default configuration, each user can have his/her own separate WinVNC password, bit
also there is a special default password used when no user password is available (e.g when
nobody is logged in, or if no user password was set). Note: there is no any predefined
default password in TightVNC, machine-wide password is called «default» just
because it’s used when there are no user-specific passwords available.

To set the user password, just access the Properties dialog from the menu, as described
below. If you would like to set the default password, run
Start->Programs->TightVNC->Administration->Show Default Settings.
Note: The caption of the Properties dialog shows either «Current User Properties»
or «Default Local System Properties», depending on which set of settings is edited.

On successful startup, TightVNC will add a small icon to the tray in the system task bar
(notification area). The icon has white background if there are no viewers connected, and
inverted colors when at least one viewer accesses the desktop. Moving the mouse over this
icon shows the IP address of the machine (which can be entered in the remote viewer to access
the server).

Right-clicking on the tray icon will bring up a menu:

Menu of the TightVNC Server

The following menu commands are available:

• Properties… — This will cause the Properties dialog to be displayed, allowing
  the user to change various parameters of the TightVNC Server. This dialog will also be
  displayed on double-clicking the tray icon.
• Add New Client… — This allows outgoing connections to be made from the server
  to a viewer started in the «listening» mode. The name of the target viewer
  machine and optional display number can be entered in the dialog. Connections created
  this way are treated as shared. Such so called «reverse connections» can also
  be initiated from the command line using the -connect option.
• Kill All Clients — This will disconnect all currently connected clients from
  the server.
• Disable New Clients — This will temporarily disable new client connection to the
  server. Choose the same menu item to re-enable new client connections. Note that this mode
  is not restored on restarting the server.
• About… — Show information about the software.
• Close TightVNC Server — Quit.

Running a Viewer

To view and control a remote desktop where a TightVNC Server is running, you need to run the
TightVNC Viewer. To run the viewer, choose Start->Programs->TightVNC->TightVNC
Viewer. You will see a window allowing to choose which server to connect to.

«New Connection» dialog window

After entering the host name or its IP address (and optionally a display number), choose
«Connect». On successful connection, you will be prompted for your password, and if
the entered password is correct, finally you should see the remote desktop.

Alternatively, you can start the viewer in the listening mode, by using the correspoding
button in the «New Connection» window. In that mode, the viewer’s icon will
appear in the system tray, and it will accept reverse connections from TightVNC servers (see
above the description of the WinVNC «Add New Client» menu item).

In the «New Connection» window, you can use built-in context help. To get help on
using a particular control, first click small question button in the window title bar, then
click on that control. Another way to obtain context help is to press F1 key while the
keyboard focus is in the corresponding control.

Using a Web Browser as a Viewer

The VNC servers also contain a small Web server. If you connect to it with a web browser,
the Java version of the viewer will be downloaded automatically, allowing you to access
the remote desktop. Obviously, your Web browser must support Java applets. Also, you
should not use a proxy, to let the Java applet access the remote server directly.

The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800 + display number. (Remember a WinVNC
machine defaults to the display 0.) So to connect to the display 2 on machine
«myhost», you would point your web browser at: http://myhost:5802/ . The applet
will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop.

Uninstalling TightVNC

TightVNC can be uninstalled using the Add/Remove Programs utility under the Control
Panel, but it’s also ok to remove the directory you have installed it into
(typically, C:Program FilesTightVNC). Note that the TightVNC installation
program does not copy any files into the system directory. Before uninstalling TightVNC,
make sure WinVNC is not running and not installed as a service.

Здравствуйте, дорогие читатели сайта Страна IT. Сегодня мы с вами поговорим о еще одной программе удаленного доступа. С её помощью вы можете полностью управлять удаленным компьютером. Речь пойдет про VNC клиент для Windows. Данная программа для удаленного доступа к компьютеру позволяет пользователям подключаться к компьютерам с операционной системой Windows и Linux и выполнять любые настройки. Так же имеется полная поддержка практически всех современных операционных систем. VNC клиент, может стать для вас незаменимым помощником, если вам часто приходится управлять удаленными компьютерами либо если вы обслуживаете парк ПК. В статье я вам подробно расскажу, как скачать, установить и настроить утилиту.

Как скачать VNC клиент для Windows.

Чтобы начать пользоваться программой, её необходимо скачать, чтобы не наловить на компьютер вирусов, загружать программу мы будем с официального сайта. Для этого перейдите по ссылке –  www.realvnc.com/download /

На странице загрузки, чтобы скачать бесплатно VNC клиент для Windows, необходимо выбрать соответствующую иконку и нажать на кнопку «DOWNLOAD VNC CONNECT». Так же под кнопкой загрузки можно выбрать в каком расширении скачивать программу: exe, Zip или в формате MSI Installer.

Установка программы состоит из двух частей серверной и клиентской. Если вы хотите управлять удаленным компьютером, то устанавливаем клиентскую часть – VNC Viewer, если же вы хотите в дальнейшем управлять данным компьютером, то ставите VNC Server.

Как установить VNC.

Давайте теперь подробно рассмотрим, как установить VNC клиент для Windows. Для этого запускаем скаченный исполняемый файл и выполняем все по шагам:

1. Перед началом установки Windows спросит, хотите ли вы запустить этот файл, жмем кнопку «Запустить»;
2. Далее откроется следующее окно с описанием программы и лицензионным соглашением. Ставим галочку в поле «I accept the agreement» и жмем кнопку «Next»;
3. В следующем окне необходимо выбрать, что мы будем устанавливать «VNC Server», «VNC Viewer» или то и другое. После того, как определитесь с выбором, жмем кнопку «Next»;
4. Далее выбираем путь установки программы или оставляем все по умолчанию;
5. В окне Firewall Configuration необходимо поставить галочку в пункте «Add an exception to the firewall for VNC Server»;
6. Далее дожидаемся процесса окончания установки программы.

Мы с вами смогли установить VNC клиент для Windows, теперь давайте рассмотрим, как настроить программу и как ею пользоваться.

Как пользоваться VNC — программой удаленного доступа к компьютеру.

После того, как мы с вами установили серверную и клиентскую части, необходимо их настроить. Для этого запускаем для начала VNC Server и в главном окне, задаем пароль, который будет использоваться клиентом для подключения к данному компьютеру.

Если будет необходим круглосуточный доступ к компьютеру, то он должен быть включен постоянно, а программа VNC сервер запущена.

Для того, чтобы выполнять удаленные подключения со своего компьютера к другим ПК, нам с вами понадобится VNC Viewer. Запускаем его. Окно программы выглядит скромно, но зато нет ничего лишнего. В самом центре располагается строка «VNC server» в нее необходимо ввести имя удаленного компьютера или IP адрес. Как узнать IP адрес читайте статью – Как узнать IP своего компьютера. Если вы хотите подключиться по имени, то посмотреть его можно в свойствах системы.

В моем случае, я буду вводить IP адрес. После нажатия на кнопку «Connect» появится окно для ввода пароля подключения к серверу. После этого перед вами отобразится удаленный рабочий стол. Теперь вы сможете выполнять любые действия, будто это ваш компьютер.

Что делать, если не получается подключиться.

Часто бывают случаи, когда после установки VNC клиента для Windows не удается выполнить подключение.  На это существует ряд определенных причин, рассмотрим их подробнее:

• Антивирусные программы заблокировали работу VNC. Очень часто антивирусы определяют программы удаленного доступа как нежелательное ПО и блокируют их работу всеми способами. Для того, чтобы избежать такой ситуации необходимо добавить программу в списки исключений антивируса;
• Неправильный IP адрес. Иногда случаются случаи, когда пользователь удаленного компьютера говорит вам неправильный IP адрес. Тем самым вы не можете подключиться. Рекомендую уточнить информацию и повторить подключение;
• Неправильный пароль. Если вы сами задавали пароль для серверной версии. То необходимо проверить, правильно ли вы его вводите, возможно у вас включен заглавный ввод букв или выбран неправильный язык ввода;
• Программа переключилась на другой порт работы. По умолчанию, программа работает через порт 5900. Проверьте, не занят ли данный порт каким-то другим приложением. Так же можно выполнить переадресацию портов.

Это основные проблемы, которые встречаются при работе с VNC Viewer. Как видите, они вполне себе решаемые.  Функционал программы достаточно простой, здесь нет каких-то суперполезных функций. Программа имеет вполне стандартный набор инструментов, который схож с Supremo и AnyDesk, а возможно и чем-то уступает своим собратьям. Чем подкупает VNC клиент для Windows, так это высокая скорость работы и большая поддержка всех современных платформ. Это делает программу достаточно привлекательной для пользователей, которые имеют устройства с разными операционными системами.

Подведем итоги.

Сегодня получился какой-то сумбурный обзор программы. Но все же я вам представил общую картину. Теперь вы знаете про VNC клиент для Windows и сможете его скачать и установить. Возможно программа войдет в вашу повседневную жизнь и заменит более популярные программы, например, такие как TeamViewer. VNC имеет все необходимые функции для работы, при этом она практически не использует ресурсы компьютера и при этом обеспечивает быструю стабильную связь между устройствами.
