The Chicken of the VNC
The vnc (Virtual Network Computing) is a protocol that allows remote control of other computers, those are Mac, Windows or Linux.
In practice it can be seen in a window on your Mac screen of another computer and you can interact with. The system consists of a server that sends the information screen and a client part that displays and interacts. The good part is that the Mac integrate internally the server side (Apple Remote Desktop) and you just have the client software to use this system.
A vnc program I’m using a lot in this period for the management of my prototype of the Mac Media Center “Chiken of the vnc“. Although the name suggests anything but a program, I can assure you that it does its job as a vnc client. The program is not recent but very stable.
It ‘easy to configure. First of all is installed on your Mac from which we want to control, for example, another Mac
Once you start choosing the Connection menu, and set new connection as follows:
Chicken window
where Host is the IP address of the machine we want to control (server) and your password is the password protection of the link.
Before Clik to connect must also configure the server machine. Just go to System Preferences> Sharing> Services and tick the Apple Remote Desktop. Obviously to make the changes necessary to login as administrator.
remote
Now Clik on access privileges and configure as follows:
configuration
Select the user and the privileges that you want to grant (for all system administration) and then enter your password to control the screen.
Now you can connect Clik on the client machine and you will see the screen with the desktop of the other machine.
To be able to easily work you must have a banda pretty fast, I’m using the airport to 54Mbps and refresh the desktop of the server machine is a little bit but nothing to worry loupe.
Chicken of the vnc is an open source program.

VNC Pocket Office Pro 4: Control remotely via WiFi and 3G
vnc Pocket Office allows you to manage your computer remotely as if you had there before, as is displayed on the screen of your iDevice screen on the monitor and make much of this work possible through a series of gestures.
vnc Pocket Office does not require server software to install as it uses the server built into Mac OS X. Before you start using it you must enable screen sharing in the Sharing section of System Preferences. It should be noted that remote management can be done either via WiFi or via 3G. The difference not only in the refresh rate is that if you are inside vnc your LAN, the IP address displayed? Is the same which is inserted in the respective areas of the app. If instead you are in 3G and the computer is downstream of a router? must obtain a public IP.
In the first screen that appears will have a series of three-dimensional cubes each representing a remote server. In order to become active should I add the data server to the list. For each server? Need to enter various settings, clarified one by one below the corresponding field.
After that you just have to connect to the computer you are on WiFi or 3G vnc
There comes a tutorial that explains in English how to use various gestures to access commands and functions to support. Below is a translation in Italian.

In VMWare ESXi you can connect to each virtual machine via a VNC server
already present in the core of our ESXi, specifying a password, a port for
each of the VM and logically enabling the vnc service.
Procedure (from Carry out each of the VM for which you want skilfulness this feature):
1) Make the Power Off Virtual Machine.
2) Connect to the server via SSH or using the VMware ESXi Hidden Console (alt + F1) if you are physically on the server.
3) Posizionari inside the vnc following path: / vmfs/volumes/datastore1/CentOS 64bit (in this case we are performing the operation on a CentOS 64-bit).
4) Edit the file. Vmx, in this case called: CentOS 64bit.vmx (ESXi provides you with “you” as an editor).
5) Add at the end of this file the following lines of code:
remotedisplay.vnc.port = “port”
remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”
remotedisplay.vnc.password = “password”
Replace the values ”Ports” (to use a different port each VM) and “password” with those you deisiderati. example:
remotedisplay.vnc.port = “5901″
remotedisplay.vnc.enabled = “true”
remotedisplay.vnc.password = “esxiVnCView”
6) Exit and save (in vi press Esc and type: wq).
7) Carry out the Power On the VM.
Use a vnc client to connect to the vnc port of your virtual machine by inserting ESXi server IP (not the specific VM) and the specified port (different for each VM)) in the file. Vmx.

VNC Enterprise Edition remote control for all phones
RealVNC will preview vnc for mobile platforms at the Symbian Smartphone Show expected in the 21 to 22 October in London.
Extension of its flagship vnc Enterprise Edition mobile devices, after a first beta we can find the product on the shelves in the first half of 2009
With this vnc last piece vnc now supports a wide range of mobile phones and PDAs including Symbian, Microsoft Mobile, iPhone, Linux and BlackBerry platforms, with support for additional platforms in the pipeline.
In addition to providing remote control and management of PCs and mobile devices (for this already existed software such as vnc Viewer for Symbian), for the first time it will be possible for an IT department to control and manage mobile devices using vnc.

VNC – Virtual Network Computing
vnc is an acronym that stands for Virtual Network Computing: is a program that allows you to control a remote computer through any type of network.
In very simple terms vnc does is to connect two computers directly configured appropriately giving the ability to control, by one of two machines,
the remote computer as if you were physically sitting in front of it, used if you want the GUI , mouse,
and everything that you can access with the privileges of the user with which you connect to the remote machine.
vnc was initially developed by Olivetti before being sold to research laboratories in Cambridge by AT & T,
but the mass distribution of the program only came with the birth of the project RealVNC was born as an offshoot of the original project and then be developed in a manner autonomously.
Today there are several versions of vnc such as the previously mentioned RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, etc..
The program is available for all types of operating systems and for almost all types of hardware architectures.
The implementation of vnc environments for GNU / Linux is based on Xvnc, a server software that does not connect to a real X display, but uses a dummy X11 session to which multiple clients can connect.
It should be noted that X already offers the ability to natively run a program on a computer displaying the windows in the X servant of another computer. vnc, unlike this implementation,
allows connection to a GNU / Linux, vnc even from another machine that does not have an X server installed, for example, a PC with Windows. In addition to any vnc client is great is a little more than a few hundred KB (can be conveniently contained in a floppy disk) and requires a configuration very easy to do.
x11vnc is the version of ‘vnc‘ for GNU / Linux I chose for my install Debian GNU / Linux and where you will find a guide to using the base in these pages.

A protocol, not a program vnc
We begin our discussion by clarifying that vnc vnc is not a program. Rather, we are talking about a protocol,
or a “language of communication” that must be implemented (or “understood”) by the specific software you want to provide access capabilities through this technology.
Originally created at Olivetti & Oracle Research Lab (ORL), source code and specifications of Virtual Network Computer vnc have been been publicly released,
promoting the proliferation of parallel implementations (all but compatible) more and more equipped.
Among the most significant, we might remember that the Real vnc , a company founded by the original developers, TightVNC,
an open source project aimed at narrow-band connections, and Ultra vnc , which also comes under a free license but with many additional features compared to competitors .
Precisely because of the larger dowry that comes with Ultra vnc , specifically in the article we will refer to this implementation.
As already mentioned, however, the various implementations of vnc are all compatible with each other: this means that a client has, for example,
UltraVNC will connect to a remote computer which could perform RealVNC or vice versa.
