The Chicken of the VNC
The vnc (Virtual Network Computing) is a protocol that allows remote control of other computers, those are Mac, Windows or Linux.
In practice it can be seen in a window on your Mac screen of another computer and you can interact with. The system consists of a server that sends the information screen and a client part that displays and interacts. The good part is that the Mac integrate internally the server side (Apple Remote Desktop) and you just have the client software to use this system.
A program I’m using a lot in this period for the management of my prototype of the Mac Media Center “Chiken of the vnc“. Although the name suggests anything but a program, I can assure you that it does its job as a vnc client. The program is not recent but very stable.
It ‘easy to configure. vnc First of all is installed on your Mac from which we want to control, for example, another Mac
Once you start choosing the Connection menu, and set new connection as follows:
Chicken window
where Host is the IP address of the machine we want to control (server) and your password is the password protection of the link.
Before Clik to connect must also configure the server machine. Just go to System Preferences> Sharing> Services and tick the Apple Remote Desktop. Obviously to make the changes necessary to login as administrator.
remote
Now Clik on access privileges and configure as follows:
configuration
Select the user and the privileges that you want to grant (for all system administration) and then enter your password to control the screen.
Now you can connect Clik on the client machine and you will see the screen with the desktop of the other machine.
To be able to easily work you must have a banda pretty fast, I’m using the airport to 54Mbps and refresh the desktop of the server machine is a little bit but nothing to worry loupe.
Chicken of the vnc is an open source program.

VNC Pocket Office Pro 4: Control remotely via WiFi and 3G
vnc Pocket Office allows you to manage your computer remotely as if you had there before, as is displayed on the screen of your iDevice screen on the monitor and make much of this work possible through a series of gestures.
vnc Pocket Office does not require server software to install as it uses the server built into Mac OS X. Before you start using it you must enable screen sharing in the Sharing section of System Preferences. It should be noted that remote management can be done either via WiFi or via 3G. The difference not only in the refresh rate is that if you are inside your LAN, the IP address displayed? Is the same which is inserted in the respective areas of the app. If instead you are vnc in 3G and the computer is downstream of a router? must obtain a public IP.
In the first screen that appears will have a series of three-dimensional cubes each representing a remote server. In order to become active should I add the data server to the list. For each server? Need to enter various settings, clarified one by one below the corresponding field.
After that you just have to connect to the computer you are on WiFi or 3G vnc
There comes a tutorial that explains in English how to use various gestures to access commands and functions to support. Below is a translation in Italian.

In VMWare ESXi you can connect to each virtual machine via a VNC server
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 vnc 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.
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)) in the file. Vmx.

How to remotely connect to a screen Meego using VNC (x11vnc)
After several trial and error, I think I discovered a simple and reliable solution to remotely access the screen Meego.
First of all I want to clarify that I am no expert on X11. Different solutions may be available and / or better, but this solution is simple and seems to work well. It is likely that the configuration can be further improved. If so, please add these improvements to this article. Meanwhile, the procedure presented below helps to quickly connect with a remote screen to the device Meego.
The solution that I offer in this article works with a vnc destination Meego netbook Atom Embedded installed on a system. It’s also been tested on some other destinations Meego on various hardware platforms. I assume that it works with any device Meego, even if it is not guaranteed.
The solution uses a utility called x11 vnc that was written by Karl Runge, and that “allows a person to remotely view and interact with real X displays (for example, a screen corresponding to a monitor, keyboard and mouse real ) with a vnc viewer. In this sense, the role that plays in Unix/X11 Win vnc is to Windows. “The main function of this utility is offered by remote access to the physical screen, controlled by X11su vnc, is a different function than an X11 virtual screen. For detailed information on this utility, read the full page of Karl.

Mocha VNC Lite: control your PC with the iPhone
With Mocha vnc Lite, you can remotely control your PC through your iPhone.
The application works is very simple: once started, click on Connect and you will open the page in which to insert the data connection:
vnc Server IP address in the field put the IP address of your PC to which you connect. The vnc Server Port field you can leave it unchanged, unless you want to change for special needs. Then enter the vnc password in the Password and click on Connect will start the connection.
Obviously, to run on your PC you must have started the vnc server that will allow you to accept the connection from your iPhone.
The application is free, find it in the category Economy and plays vnc very dell’AppStore his task admirably, even if it has a limitation: it does not allow the right click of the mouse. Limitation that is not present but in the paid version, Mocha vnc, whose cost is € 4.99

iTeleport, a VNC client for iPhone OS, updates itself by introducing voice commands to launch applications
iTeleport is an application available on the App Store that allows vnc to connect remotely to your Windows PC or Mac has been recently upgraded by introducing an important new features for users with an iPhone 4S that, from now on, will start programs with simple voice commands.
Recently, developers have iTeleport updated with support for authentication through the Lion and the username and password of the OS from Apple. On this iTeleport is updated again, coming to version 5.2 which will allow owners of an iPhone 4S launch applications simply by speaking their name preceded by the word “Launch”. Once you start the application and the successful vnc connection with the standard keyboard will appear with a field of IOS for the composition of the text and the dedicated button to start the vnc Syrians. Normally dictating commands to the Syrians, they would be transcribed in the field of composition, but the developers seem to have iTeleport discovered a vnc way to launch applications without transcription: for we do not do anything else, for example, say out loud “Launch iTunes” to successfully launch iTunes. The quality of the voice recognition seems to be the same as that which would occur with the Syrians; therefore very high quality.

VNC – Virtual Network Computing
vnc is an acronym that stands for Virtual Network Computing: is a program that allows you to control a remote computer through any vnc type of network.
In 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
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 vnc Research Lab (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.
