SC based on Rel1.00 online

Post by Rudi De Vos »

http://sc.uvnc.com/index.php?section=19

Status: test
Don't forget to read the syntaxt for helpdesk.txt

[DEBUG] --> can be handy during testing
[ENTERCODE] --> needed for id input
Enter Your ID
no [TEXTBUTTON] now also remove the button

enter.bmp....fast made.
Perhaps someone can make something better...to minimize size
16 colors is recommended.
Transparent color=RGB(247,255,255)
Use same size and take in account the places of the buttons and the input
window.

Hmm, can't get much sense out of this one.. It dies when you try to connect... Anyone else seeing this?

Also not sure where the enter.bmp is shown. Do you have a screenshot, or an example graphic?

Perhaps I am not quite understanding the point of the connection ID.

I was assuming that this could be unique to each user, so I knew who was requesting the incoming connection. By the looks of it, I need to "hard code" the ID into the helpdesk.txt. Surely this means it's nothing more than an outward "password" to connect to me....

NEW FOR REL1.00

[ENTERCODE]
Enter Your ID
[ENTERCODE] This is used when you specify 1 [HOST] and use -id xxxxxx
In this case the standard menu is skipped and xxxxx is ignored, a input window is opened to let the user enter an id.

NO hardcoded id..... it is only used when you don't have the
[ENTERCODE] in the helpdesk.txt

Perhaps a bit difficult, but needed to maintain compatible with previous version.

Perhaps you could describe it from a non prgrammer view...

[HOST]
Technical Support
-id 19001230 -connect myhost.dyndns.org:5500 -noregistry

...

[ENTERCODE]
19001230 <--- (like a birth date for easy remember code and only number)
[DIRECT]
----------------

example:

-id 129001230 -connect myhost.dyndns.org:5500

-id 19001230 = your personal choice like you select a birth date
(limited to only 9 numbers, no letters)

-connect myhost.dyndns.org = your personal repeater or proper NAT router for accepting incoming connection redirected to your computer if your ip dynamic with a dynamic DNS service configured inside your router and service active to your DynamicDNS provider

:5500 = the port your opened on your NAT router if NOT EXIST repeater and viewer -listen on this standard port that used for winvnc direct connect to your myhost WITHOUT repeater

or

:5500 = the port your opened on your DMZ/LAN if there repeater properly configurerd, so your viewer can be anywhere in the world because you make a direct connection to your repeater too ! Then repeater made connection match (winvnc <--> viewer) with same id 19001230 pre-configured by yourself the day your create your own SC.

Ahh, so the code that gets entered, determines which connection [HOST] is used? Is this it's purpose?

If i know the purpose, perhaps I may be able to explain it better...

the log repeater 1.0.03 resulting
local input is EOF
Server Removed from list 12345678

[ENTERCODE] <<----Open menu and MANUAL enter your ID
12345678 <------TEXT to display on the "enter ID" dialog

BY using the option [ENTERCODE] you can use the same SC for
different ID's.


Next version of the repeater
-logging (time, data volume) per ID
-Allow a list of supported ID codes, all other will be refused

now, really clear (for me)

-logging (time, data volume) per ID
-Allow a list of supported ID codes, all other will be refused
very good idea, because I have no idea when some hacking was started and how many data was transfered.
would be available as compatible event log or only proprietary repeater log unusable ?

Logging in plain asci with use of seperators, to file
No event logging.

Format has to allow that it can be imported in excel

Could give problem on w2k and w2k3 with wts.

New version is posted.

-driver changed, SC now can use mirror driver
(use the mirror instead of the hookdll)
-Session lock changed, there was problem on systems with muliple users connected(RDP)

The problem you have looks more like syntax problem.
Is the helpdesk.txt syntax correct !

Are you using a repeater ?
direct viewer connection ?
Is the host you specified reachable ?

The helpdesk.txt is unchanged from a working 20.3 version I was using. if I upload the file to the 20.3 SC creator, it works, if I upload it to the 1.0 creator, it does not. I will test again tonight, see if it's any better. (PS. The release still says 30th June on the creator page).

if you add
[DEBUG]

You get a console window that give some debug info, perhpas you find some clue in it.

How do you connect ?

If you provide the zip name, i can always check the syntax

Unfortunatly, adding the debug option does bring up the window, but when it crashes, the debug window disappears before I can catch it...

Can we have a version where the debugging is output the standard debug streams, so sysinternals debugwin can see it? OutputDebugString(""); should be sufficent...

As for the zipfile name, it's markgvnc.zip

1) I use the default port for a listening viewer 5500
Unless you changed the default port, you try to connect to 5900

2) You need to use the latest viewer (Rel1.00)
Older viewers don't understand the little data exchange (user name+system info) before the actual loggon.

sweet, i've been waiting for this. i haven't had much time to test it thoroughly, but it seemed to work fine for me on the two basic tests that i ran.

i also wanted to mention that the about screen shows "sc 20.3" instead of "sc rel 1.0.0".

File Transfer

Post by Da GMan »

Hi Guys

Sorry I guess I don't get it, been reading all day and I still don't know does SC support File Transfer?? Some say YES some say NO, read you need Ultr@VNC ver 19 for it to work, copy ZIP and UNZIP Dll's to system folder, been there and tried it all.........

Please Rudy, does file transfer work with SC and if so what Ultr@VNC version do you need.

Otherwise the BEST Program EVER

To be able to do directory file transfer unzip32.dll and zip32.dll are also needed.

Because the ddls are big, compared to the exe, they are NOT included.
Directory File transfer is NOT supported by default.

You always can manual zip/unzip a directory and transfer it as a file.

Server drops / Debug to file

I’m trying to find out why VNC SC drops after the connection has been made.
In some ps’s with WinXP SP2 it works fine with if I use VNC Server to establish the connection, but not when I use VNC SC.
The connection is made I can see on the client side de screen but just for a few seconds then it just drops without a message.
The SC Server works on some computers with the same OS.
I can see the debug window bur not the last message.
It would be very useful for me if a log file was created.
Anyway anyone can help me with this “dropping” please say something.
