Mac OS X VNC *CLIENT*

[ericmurphy]

Does anyone know of an OS X-native VNC client? It's totally easy to find a VNC server for OS X, but I really need the client. I'd like to be able to administer our NT box at work from my apartment, and VNC would be a nice way to do it. I've got the OS 9 version of VNC viewer running on my PowerTower Pro that's running 9.1, but it would be nice to run it from my X machine too without having to use Classic.

Go to www.versiontracker.com
Select OS X
Type VNC in the search box
Click search
Look for 'VNCThing'

It's working native in OS X for me.

VNCThing seems decent as a client, theoretically, but I have yet to set up a server to connect to, so you say you have a server? Where'd you get your server?

Go here: http://www.osxvnc.com/ You can get the source at the same site if you're into that sort of thing.

Yeah, I've got OSXvnc 0.6 and VNCThing 2.2 ... and it's like they aren't even meant to see each other. Damn I hate it when computers make me feel dumb. I understand the concept, I grabbed the right things, setup shouldn't be very complicated ... and just like like that - nothing.

I'll try again.

OSXvnc 0.6

Too bad it seems to be a frozen project. (no update since last May) And it's not like it's a finished project. Ie I couldn't connect to the server with the Java-applet.

I've updated an old NeXT client to run under Mac OS X and I've been using it for my VNC needs. If there's interest, I'll get permision from the original developer (whoever the hell that was) and throw it up on version tracker.

It works pretty well.

I hereby declare interest, I think. I'm not sure if my inability to communicate is a server or client failure. I'll need to get some known good stuff on a known good OS and start playing to figure why I suck so hard. But potentially, I have interest.
