Java VNC Viewer

[Urban_Squrill]

Ok would it be possable to have a Java VNC viewer set up on a web page so all I had to do is go to the site type in ip and pass and it would work like that?

I didn't know you could do VNC through Java!?

What are you trying to accomplish? Why would you not just use VNC or TSC, installed on the client machine?

Are you saying you want to vnc control a remote computer via a website to log onto the computer?

Why not set-up a Terminal Services on the computer to remotely control it?

i dont know about java and VNC, but like MDS said you can set up terminal services to work with internet explorer

If you have XP at home, you could use the web browser version of Remote Desktop to control your PC anywhere there is a PC connected to the web. Once it ios set up, only needs a browser at the other end, just like VNC java.

Read linky.

Oh, and to comment on the original question: putting VNC java on a webpage wouldn't be too hard, IMO. Juts make a link to the server port, viz: http://123.456.789.000:5800 and it should open the VNC java viewer in a new browser window. If you wanted to choose the server, make an input biox pass the IP onto the URL. Should work fine that way.

Only VNC is not too secure. Only the initial password, not the data you view, is encrytped. It's a bit bare unless you use a VPN tunnel or something.

I have XP pro so probly the remote stuff would work the best?
With that Could I just have it running in the backround all the time with out any problems.

terminal services has its place and works well for what it does and yes you can have it running in the background without interfering with other things. just make sure if you are behind a router to forward the right ports that it runs on

The main concern you have to worry about is IIS, as it can be very unsecure if not set up propertly or patched.
