Which Linux vncviewer to use with SC ? *** [SOLVED] ***

Post by bluegroper »

Hi forum
I have an SC executable that I give to my customers. Normal.
A while ago, I would listen on my Linux desktop using tightvnc *free* viewer.

Code: Select all

$ tightvncviewer -listen 0 -encodings "hextile copyrect" & 
Seems there's been an update of RFB from 3.3 to 3.8, so my tightvnc won't work anymore.

So I installed 30 day trial of Real VNC Viewer Enterprise E4.6.1, and it works fine with

Code: Select all

$ vncviewer -listen -Protocol3.3=true &
My needs for this viewer are very small, and hardly justify the cost of RealVNC Enterprise.
Its a fine product, but I just won't use it much.
Does anybuddy know of other *free* vncviewer to work with RFB Protocol 3.3 in Linux ?
TIA's for any tips and clues

This looks like it might work.

Yup, that would have been the one I would have suggested. But there are other VNC clients in the repositories, depending on your distribution.

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 natty, I found out after a while of trying different *vnc* clients, that ssvnc works the best on Linux.


ssvncviewer -listen
ssvncviewer -listen: Listening on port 5500 ipv4_fd: 4 ipv6_fd: 5
ssvncviewer -listen: Cmdline errors are not reported until a connection comes in.

(LISTEN) Reverse VNC connection from IP: 192.168.255.10
Hostname: unknown
