Can't connect to ports less than 100

Post by californiajeff »

I have noticed a bug in UltraVNC. It won't let you connect on ports less than 100. If you type in 1 for example it will try to connect you to port 5901.

That is no bug, just read the documentation. Ports are adressed as +/- offsets to Standard Port 5900. So if you enter 1 it is 5901.

BTW: Ports below 1024 are mainly used by other daemons (and are given out by IANA), so are not recommended for common use.

Viewer adds "59" before a port number < 100 ???

Post by jksmurf »

I have seen this behaviour too, with the viewer adding 59 before a port number < 100, so that e.g. 80 becomes "5980".

I'm confused :|

How does this reconcile with the FAQ recommendation for ADSL users to use port 80 "which will never be limited as it is used for web browsing" as noted here?
