Does SC support regular ultraVNC Commands -viewonly?

Post by Viperbono »

-connect 192.168.1.1:5500 -viewonly -notoolbar -noregistry
As you can see I have this line in the helpdesk.txt, this should enable viewonly for the remote user (user doesn't have control of the host machine)and remove the toolbar from the top of the ultravnc window. I have tried this several different ways with no success getting these commands to work. Could anyone give me any info on what I am doing wrong?

connect 192.168.1.1:5500 -viewonly -notoolbar -noregistry
As you can see I have this line in the helpdesk.txt, this should enable viewonly for the remote user (user doesn't have control of the host machine)and remove the toolbar from the top of the ultravnc window.

I had luck with -noregistry I also use the plugin for encryption. Are you using a repeater?? If so dont forgot to add the id{port}

The viewonly may only be used with the viewer. SC is a reverse connection.

Did you try without the -notoolbar and -viewonly options removed?
