storing profiles for single click connect?
Greetings-
kind of annoyed I can't get this to work- either with RealVNC 4.1 or the UltraVNC. Looking to store profiles that I can just click shortcuts for from the desktop to connect to different servers/IP addresses. Whenever I bring up the viewer and enter the IP/ save as/, the .vnc file appears in the folder but when I click on it all I keep getting is 'Cannot resolve host name'- like it's not saving the IP. UltraVNC shows 'Server- (Null)' and won't connect either.
Many of us at my job use the vnc to connect to various clients who have 50+ machines on their networks and always having to run the viewer and type in the IP's is a pain when we need to open multiple sessions at a time.
I read thru the FAQ and tried a search on this but didn't come up with a thread that explains what I'm doin wrong, or if this is even possible.
Thanx to anyone that can help, and appreciate your time.

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
Ok-
After messing around with the shortcut on the desktop I was able to toss the IP address after the commands line in the 'Properties\Target' line and was able to rename the shortcut for the desired machine name and can click right to the password prompt for the desired machine.
Close to what I wanted, but is there a way to enter the password on that line? And what is the syntax? I've tried the following:
(from right-click, Properties- of the desktop shortcut. For the example here- 0's representing the IP and the word 'password' as the password)
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" 000.00.000.00 password
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" 000.00.000.00:password
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" 000.00.000.00\password
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" password@000.00.000.00
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC4\vncviewer.exe" 000.00.000.00 /password

None of these work, so is it just not possible to do?

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
You can save the vncviewer connection info to a .vnc file. Everytime you click this file you will run the viewer with the saved setting. It can even save the password.
How to create the .vnc file:
You MUST established the connection first. Once the connection is established, move mouse pointer to the vncviewer title bar & right click, select "Save connection info as..."

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
I attempted to save the connection settings as suggwested by topic [topic=11299][/topic] , but the option ""Save connection info as... " is unavailable (it looks grey and unactive).
Maybe it is because I run UltraVNC viewer in Listner Mode?

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
I have managed to save the session settings as suggested, but when I double click on the VNC file I get the error:
"Invalid VNC server specified"
The only way I can use the VNC file is to start the Viewer and then open the VNC file - Is this correct or am I doing something wrong ?
Thanks

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
Some user reported this problem is caused by the incomplete uninstallation of other VNC favor.

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
I am pretty sure that ccleaner will also clean up the server lists in the registry as well

Re: storing profiles for single click connect?
I think this is normal. Using the vnc file requires the -config option. It's a shame this doesn't work as newer Windows versions do not have file associations that can be set as detailed as before. You could make a batch file that adds the -config option and associate vnc files with it. But it's a nasty work around as you don't get the pinned task bar and jump list features that way in Windows 7 and later...Steakman wrote:I have managed to save the session settings as suggested, but when I double click on the VNC file I get the error:

The only requirement to solve this is for vncviewer.exe to just use a config file without the -config switch (maybe after checking its validity and syntax). So, this is a feature request!

The reason .vnc doesn't work is that you need to have to correct file associations
