Re: [PLUG] Remotely viewing Windows VNC from Ubuntu
|
I was able to get UltraVNC on XP to work with ssvnc on Linux (did this on my own LAN). I mostly wanted to get the UltraVNC one click to work for servicing a computer that has no server installed. SSvnc (for viewing) has a front end for dealing with encryption and maybe other stuff, it talks to a server using one port and a local vncviewer on another port of the same client machine. It has many options.
Is UltraVNC for Windows popular and well known? I've not figured out how to compile it myself, and the One Click source code is available only by request as far as I can tell.
For the Windows systems that have remote terminal services, (like Windows versions better or more complete than the "home" version, I recall seeing a Linux remote desktop utility that connects to the remote services of Windows (not VNC). http://www.rdesktop.org/ Wouldn't that be more efficient if possible? It does require permissions to be set on the Windows machine. The lower end Windows do have remote terminal services, but only by invitation methods, which rdesktop does not appear to handle.
