But as of version 2, the remote screen protocol is based on VNC. Apple Remote Desktop is much more than just a remote control solution it provides desktop and systems management tools, software distribution tools, mass screen sharing, scripted actions, and all sorts of other features. Īt the commercial end of the spectrum is Apple Remote Desktop 2.1. The best free client for Mac OS X, in my opinion, is Chicken of the VNC. (There's even an OS9vnc, on the same page.) On the server end of things, there's OSXvnc, a nice free VNC server for Mac OS X. It will prompt you for a new vncpassword and immediately change the vncpassword.For Mac OS X, there are several options what I believe to be the best options are below. Troubleshooting: If you have forgotten your vnc password, or wish to change it use the vncpasswd command. (for reference, :0 is considered the root display, for displays physically connected to the machine). In theory, the display number can be anywhere from 1 to 9999. My server was started on display number 44, as it was the next display available. NOTE: The display number is where your VNC session funneling your desktop. Starting applications specified in /u/cecsuser/.vnc/xstartup Afterwards, you should receive some output that looks like this: New 'X' desktop is mo.:44 This would be a password you would give to someone if you wanted them to observe your VNC session without being able to interact the desktop. It will also ask if you want to assign a view-only password. NOTE: This password must be at least 6 characters long!
It is _strongly_ advised that you not use your MCECS account password here!) This password is arbitrarily chosen by you.
You will be prompted for a password to log you into your VNC session (This is _not_ like logging in with your MCECS account.
This will start the VNC server on the machine and tell it to only accept connections from the localhost, which is to say from users logged into the machine hosting the VNC server. In a terminal, run the following command: vncserver In order to do this, ssh in to the machine where you’ll be accessing the remote desktop. Before we can connect to the remote desktop, we need to start the VNC server on the remote machine.
