| VNC 3.3.6 | |
|
W9x/Me/NT/2000/XP |
| Free Open Source - recently updated | |
Location on CD: software/windows/utils/vnc/ | |
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is remote control software that allows you to view and interact with one computer (the 'server') using a simple program (the 'viewer') on another computer anywhere on the Internet. The two computers don't even have to be the same type, so for example you can use VNC to view an office Linux machine on your Windows PC at home.
You could control another computer across a network, as if sitting in front of that computer: help friends and relatives solve problems on their systems; provide a flexible hot-desking environment by allowing employees to access their office desktop and server machines from any machine in the company's offices or from other remote sites; VNC can also be used in educational contexts, for example to allow a distributed group of students simultaneously to view a computer screen being manipulated by an instructor, or to allow the instructor to take control of the students' computers to provide assistance.
This update includes: improved windows server stability with multiple clients and on very fast and multi-processor machines; Windows viewer automatically associated with saved .vnc files; clipboard works with x2vnc.
