Command line viewer IP specification

[SpiderX]

I'd like to use UltraVNC SC instead of a real VNC install for remote controlling a computer on the LAN. As it is now, there are scripts which will install VNC on the remote computer, register it, set a default password, etc etc... well, SC doesn't need to be installed, doesn't need a default password, or anything. If it supported supplying the IP address of a viewer on the command line then it would be the perfect remote administration tool. Imagine this scenario:

I am the administrator of my lan. My clients do not wish to have any remote control software installed on their computers and available all the time, but they do demand remote support. I'm not always using my computer, or even using the same IP. So, I use PSEXEC to launch "UltraVNCSC -connect 192.168.0.251" and it launches and connects directly to the computer i'm on!

Nothing really has to change except adding a command line connection option. The software otherwise works perfectly.

Anyways, what do you think? Useful feature? Stupid idea? I know it already connects to a pre-defined IP address, but what if my IP address changes? A command line option for specifying an IP would make it so I don't have to create a new UltraVNC SC every time.

repeater made for this function
vncviewer and winvnc could be used anywhere and with any IP change.
only repeater ip address do not change.

that works fine for one person, but lets say I have 5 techs out... 5 repeaters? 5 uvnc-sc.exe files? and if I have 5 sites that are independent of each other, that I visit... 25 uvnc-sc.exe files? (5 for each site for each tech) that's an N*2 solution, for which the repeater is useless. Sure you can have the users prompted to type in a seperate session ID number, requiring only one file per site, but that adds to the complexity, and half the users that I tried it with, couldn't enter the numbers right...

what's wrong with providing an alternative option?

need only same SingleClick for all customers, and only one same vncviewer for all yours tech and only one repeater in the middle aka distributor for everyone.

nothing wrong at all. but unable to use your solution over WAN blocked from all WAN acces for security except over VPN not consided as WAN but considered as LAN.

[SpiderX]

that's what I'm trying to tell you... by focusing ONLY on wan, you make it a PITA to use on a LAN. Add the option to specify an IP on the command line, and you make LAN use much easier, while not changing the WAN usage scenario. Sure I can setup a repeater, but if I have 5 sites, not connected to each other or the internet, I have to have 5 repeaters and 5 different uvnc-sc.exe files for each tech at each site... (different IP addressing at each site and each tech has a different ID for repeater mode).

PSEXEC to launch "UltraVNCSC -connect 192.168.0.251

do you mean ?
tech push SC to customer, then customer have the SC auto lunched connecting to your vncviewer -listen ?

could be nice SC feature for LAN

[SpiderX]

redge, that's exactly what I mean.. :) It would be an awesome feature for a lan.

improved
vncviewer -push SC.exe -callback ip/host_remote -listen ip/host_allowed::port

optional -listen ip/host_allowed::port
so you listen only this awaiting remote computer you try to remote control, so you are not troubled by another incoming session.
