VNC^® Enterprise Edition User Guide

Managing the current connection

You can manage aspects of the current connection while it is in progress.

Note: Most of the operations described in this section are facilitated by the VNC Viewer toolbar. For more information on this, see Using the VNC Viewer toolbar.

Saving the current connection

You can save the current connection so you can quickly reconnect in future without having to remember the network address and your authentication credentials. In addition, your preferred VNC Viewer environment for controlling the host computer is automatically recreated.

To save the current connection, click the Save Connection toolbar button. Carry on from Appendix A, Saving Connections.

Starting a new connection

You can start a new connection to the same host computer, or to a different one. To do this, click the New Connection toolbar button. The VNC Viewer: New Connection dialog opens. Carry on from Connecting to a host computer.

By default, any properties you have configured are inherited by the new connection. To prevent this, open the VNC Viewer Properties dialog and turn off Use these settings for all new connections first. For more information on this dialog, see Using the VNC Viewer Properties dialog.

Closing the current connection

You can quickly close the current connection. To do this, click the Close Connection toolbar button. You are prompted to confirm the operation before the VNC Viewer window closes.
