Create named connections

Post by Jackrabbit »

Currently,when I need to connect to a remote site, I have to either type in the IP:port or find it in the list of previous connections. It would be nice if we could create a list of frequently used connections with a real name (the customer's name for example), followed by the IP:port parameters. My connection combobox currently contains a few dozens IPs, a description field would help me to locate the right one.

An alternative is to save each connection to individual .vnc file, and you can rename them to a meaningful name (e.g. YY_PC.vnc). Everytime you double click this file you will run the viewer with the saved setting. It can even save the password.

How to create the .vnc file:
You MUST established the connection first. Once the connection is established, move mouse pointer to the vncviewer title bar & right click, select "Save connection info as..."

Another option: NeoRouter http://www.neorouter.com
It helps you create virtual LAN over the Internet, so that you can use the Computer Name in your VNC directly.

Good luck
