UltraVNC

I'm looking to upgrade a couple remote servers as well and could use some assistance on the best menthod about doing this. I realize this is a dead topic from a few years ago but I was hoping someone else has used createinstall or knows of an easy way of remotely updating ultraVNC servers.

I ...

Here's what I do:

Make a connection the way YOU would like the DEFAULT setup to be, then close the connection. These settings are saved as the "options.vnc" file in your temp directory. Make this file read-only, and the vncviewer cannot overwrite your settings, even when the "save as default ...

vncviewer since rel 1.0.1 (6 august 2005) or higher
vnviewer -listen port
right click on systray vncviewer... left click " Toggle Listen Mode "
every request from winvnc is simply ignored until you switch again "Toggel Listen Mode"

redge,

Ah, that does help. I was using the v1.0 ...

This would be handy for me, since I have many remote machines configured with the UltraVNC server set to connect to my listening viewer upon reboot. Sometimes I have computers connect to me when I don't want them to.

Would it be possible to create an Accept/Reject message on the listening viewer ...

I actually like the pipe character in the password field and hope it doesn't change. If you are that concerned about it, make a poll on the forums. It would be interesting to see how many people like it versus dislike it.

I run 1280x1024 resolution on my workstation, and when I connect to a uvnc server running the same, the auto-scale feature brings the viewer down to 85%, so no scrolling is needed. This is nice.

The thing I do not like about auto-scaling is that it will go above 100% if I connect to a uvnc server ...

Here's what I have done to workaround the missing 256-color issue: 8)

Connect your viewer to a server and set the options just the way you like them, then close the viewer. In your temp directory, edit the "options.vnc" file in Notepad or some other text editor. Change the "QuickOption" attribute ...

PLEASE bring the 256-color back. While my wife might appreciate the nice shade of pink that appears on a 64-color version of Windows 2000, it isn't doing anything for me.

All joking aside, thanks for considering it, Sam.

I use a shortcut to activate a listening viewer with command line parameters to launch when a remote user is going to back-connect to me. With 20.2, I have noticed that I cannot get a 256-color depth with the "quick option" parameter. Quick option 3 gives full color, and quick option 4 (which USED ...

I know this has been mentioned before, but I wanted to bring it up again since the release of Version 1 may be coming soon. Can you implement a history dropdown in the same fashion as the current history list for recent VNC Server connections? Maybe via a new registry key as the current history list ...

I am sure this has been mentioned in the past, but some of us use a dynamic DNS service, such as dyndns.org or no-ip.com. You can use a free third party utility (many are available from the sites mentioned) to update an available URL and subdomain that you get from them. The service is free.
