Need help understanding command line to start viewer

Post by davidct »

I sucessfully set up a SC executable -- very cool, but I need help with understanding how to start the viewer on the technician's console.

I am able to make the connection fine when I start the viewer using the command line:

vncviewer -listen -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm

Is it possible to simply start UltraVNC Viewer to make the connection, instead of the command line?

command line of the listen icon


"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen"


if you changed the port from the default of 5500 then you need to specify the change in the command line

I understand how to start the viewer from the command line.

Is it possible to get a connection going by using Start-> All Programs-> UltraVNC-> UltraVNC Viewer (Icon).

yes you just need to change the command line on the icon properties


For Example:

"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" is the target line

for the vncviewer.exe icon just add -listen to it

This is the target for the listen icon

"C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\vncviewer.exe" -listen

notice how the command is after the""

That should be all you have to do. ...:)
