UltraVNC

Hello,

I was able to get VNC Central installed and working on my computer and all remote machines... however I don't actually see any ultraVNC integration or how to get that part going?

I posted a thread on the VNC Central forums here:

http://vnccentral.awardspace.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2 ...

Yes it would work fine and solve your problem as long as the client PC is not firewalled ....

The remote PC will not be running any firewall software, but we have no control over the router so that's an unknown. By default, most routers don't have any firewall installed, so VNC ports should be ...

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I was wondering if VNC Central would work for my needs:

Let me know what you think. If VNC Central will work for the remote computers even though they're behind unknown routers with unknown IP, then I will ...

no but you may have to change the commandline parameters for ultravnc to have it contact the service instance

VNC Central 0.20alpha5 is now out with improved automatic defrag/dyndns/tunnels/unattended setups and no more annoying floppy seeks.

What's new in v0.020 alpha 5 (13/08/07)

Improved tunnelling

Improved VNC Central + UltraVNC setup

Improved Automatic Defrag

Automatic Defrag now supports mount ...

I just uploaded the new 0.020alpha4 version here:

The setup instead is here:

Here's ...

Ok. I added the MSVCRT to my "deploy.exe" with a .vbs to do all the little stuff like call the redist .exe and setup the winvnc registry entries. I am gonna convert my .vbs to a vc++ .exe .
I will be working on that this weekend when I get a chance to get back into C++ (been about 8 yrs since I ...

OMG
Ok.. I dl'd the library and installed it and all is well. I have seen this error on every machine I have installed on so far. Including XP pro and X64.


Yes you could put the libraries in the application directory and everything should work fine. Previously I was including the libraries in ...

Actually running it on SBS 2003. I haven't been able to get .20 Rc3 loaded on my server so I haven't tried it on any other machine. Also I haven;t dl'd that dist so I will do so now and let you know how it goes.


SBS2003 introduced side-by-side libraries so it could be that the same problem ...

Ok
I am a fan of this software and am currently using version .19 . However when I try to run version .20 I get the following error. "This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Re-installing the application may fix the problem".
Obviously I am doing ...

VNC Central 0.20alpha3 is now out with DynDNS and early tunnelling support

What's new in v0.020 alpha 3 (27/06/07)

Integrated DynDNS Update Plugin

Implemented connections tunnelling (BEWARE: tunnels haven't been completely written yet so use them only for testing purposes)

Many small bugfixes ...

Also, it would be great if you could make it so that the Server has an option to accept or reject a "passive" UltraVNC connection. Currently, if you set the server to "Query on incoming connection", then it works for an "active" connection but not for a "passive" one.

That way, I could tell users ...

Yes it's still in development.

Here's the latest development snapshot:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/vnccentral/VNC_Central_v0.020alpha2.zip?use_mirror=osdn

This version should fix the problem maxlaw had with centrals not detecting disconnections (there's a timeout monitor now)

What's new ...

Actually I have written a small JAVA port-forwarding-like tool to bridge the client and server and run in the client machine. This tool aims to undergo preiodical checking of the connection status and perform a complete disconnection procedure (socket.close()) to suitably shutdown the connection ...

Thanks for your reply~~ Actually, I've found that the client side is not regularly checking whether the server side is still alive. There are many situation that the client does not notice the accidental disconnection of the server. The result is the client would not attempt to reconnect the server ...

sorry for the long absence I had some problems with my stupid via mb drivers that were continuosly disabling udma making my computer so slow it was impossible to develop on it. Now i've finally dumped that piece of crap and hoping that I won't ever buy another via product I'll resume vnc central ...

You're right i'd better write that on the website.

No it doesn't support ultravnc encryption plugin but if you really need encryption i can add it in the next version using Rijndael algorythm (aes) that should be much better than rc4.

I changed the main dialog so it can finally be resized
I also made plugins to shutdown/reboot/logoff/blank monitor/standby/suspend remote machines.

yes it doesn't support connection encryption yet however it's one of the features that will be surely added in future

I've decided to do the following: when winvnc starts it checks the uvncadmin.ini file to see where are the other settings stored, if their location is not specified then the uvncdefault.ini is searched in the current directory and the user profile .ini file is searched in the home profile directory ...

Here are some updated screenshots on how is the vnc central deployer development going on:

I still have to find out the best way to store the settings however I posted part of the patch here:
http://www.rafb.net/paste/results/l1bF2362.html

I just made another class that sees if the INI file is available and then tries to write inside it. Then I just replaced all LoadINT SaveINT etc with ...

I got a message from pgmoney telling me to use 3 ini files, one for admin, one for default settings and one for user (stored in the user profile directory). but the problem is still there: an user could keep just a single ultravnc configuration... since the user configuration is stored in the user ...

hello? don't tell me that nobody here has at least a vague idea on how should ini files be implemented... i never messed with that stuff and i really need ini support for ultravnc asap.

So... if somebody gives me an idea on how i should implement them i will implement them the right way and it will ...

if somebody here has a vague idea on how should ini files be implemented i can try implementing them: i never used vnc with all those administrator/user properties stuff so i don't know how it works.

I can even try redefining those functions to write/read in an ini file if such file exists however ...

it would be nice if winvnc had an exception catcher to catch all the uncatched exceptions and relaunch itself without having the debugger to start there wouldn't be need of external utilities then

ms software uses bandwith only the first time you use it but the following times it uses the internal cache that it builds so it will use a lot more bandwith. i use it on gprs connection and i can tell you that it works a lot better than vnc even with themes enabled.

the service won't restart if a ...

sorry if ask you this but why the heck are you using winvnc on a remote win2003 server? you can enable remote desktop on that, and i can assure you that i never seen one crashing... you can enable it in the same place where the xp pro remote desktop is enabled (system properties)
