When using a mouse with Veency you have the following abilities with the mouse: I did however found this ( source), I hope this is useful: I have no setup to test this right now (no jailbroken phone at the moment). Controlling your remote computer takes a little getting used to, but it most certainly works.
LogMeIn however, I would recommend if you more often remotely control your own computers.īoth LogMeIn and Team Viewer have clients for mobile devices as well, like for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices – allowing you to remotely control your home computer from your phone or tablet. I would recommend Team Viewer for those of you who use remote control to assist others frequently. But once you’re familiar with it, Team Viewer offers a very good service as well. Personally I prefer LogMeIn, as it seems less complicated to get started. No need for Port Forwading or putzing with your firewalls.
Like I said: it is possible … but I wouldn’t recommend going through the hassle when you can use easier, free and much more secure services like LogMeIn and Team Viewer. It is possible to use VNC remotely – meaning for example while traveling control your computer at home, or control the computer of your mom helping her with her computer. Press ENTER when done and the Screen Sharing app opens. Simply open Safari and enter “vnc://” followed by the IP Address of the VNC Server, for example: “vnc://192.168.1.109”. This is probably the easiest way to open the VNC Client called Screen Sharing. It’s tucked away pretty good though – not sure why Apple did that. MacOS X, if I’m not mistaken since 10.4, has a VNC Client installed already.
Note : RealVNC is free and has a very suitable VNC Client, but why install more software if you don’t really need to? There are lots of VNC Clients out there, and strangely enough … they charge money for something you already have on your computer. It’s main purpose is to display the “screenshots” of the controlled computer, as send by the VNC Server, and to send mouse moves and keyboard strokes to the VNC Server on the computer that is being controlled. It is the program on the computer that is controlling the other computer. It will prompt you for a new vncpassword and immediately change the vncpassword.Screen Sharing for regular VNC clients VNC ClientĪ VNC Client is the otherside of the story. Troubleshooting: If you have forgotten your vnc password, or wish to change it use the vncpasswd command. (for reference, :0 is considered the root display, for displays physically connected to the machine).
In theory, the display number can be anywhere from 1 to 9999. My server was started on display number 44, as it was the next display available.
NOTE: The display number is where your VNC session funneling your desktop.
Starting applications specified in /u/cecsuser/.vnc/xstartup Afterwards, you should receive some output that looks like this: New 'X' desktop is mo.:44
This would be a password you would give to someone if you wanted them to observe your VNC session without being able to interact the desktop. It will also ask if you want to assign a view-only password. NOTE: This password must be at least 6 characters long!
It is _strongly_ advised that you not use your MCECS account password here!) This password is arbitrarily chosen by you. You will be prompted for a password to log you into your VNC session (This is _not_ like logging in with your MCECS account. This will start the VNC server on the machine and tell it to only accept connections from the localhost, which is to say from users logged into the machine hosting the VNC server. In a terminal, run the following command: vncserver In order to do this, ssh in to the machine where you’ll be accessing the remote desktop. Before we can connect to the remote desktop, we need to start the VNC server on the remote machine.
