Java VNC® Viewer

Index

Running from a web browser

The VNC servers also contain a small web server. If you connect to this with a web browser, you can download the Java version of the viewer, and use this to view the server. You can then see your desktop from any Java-capable browser, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the web. The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800+display number. So to view display 2 on machine ’snoopy’, you would point your web browser at:

http://snoopy:5802/

The applet will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop.

Running as an application

You can run the viewer outside a browser using, for example:

java -jar vncviewer snoopy:2

The precise command line will depend on your particular Java installation.
