VNC SC Viewer in Listen mod

Post by halcad »

I've made an VNC SC with the online creator, and now tried to start the viewer in listen mode like this:
C:\Program\UltraVNC\vncviewer -listen -dsmplugin C:\Program\UltraVNC\MSRC4Plugin.dsm
,and many more variants, but it always complain that:
Invalid VNC Server specified. Usage includes: vncviewer / .....
Any hints?

Just run the script as:
C:\Program\UltraVNC\vncviewer -listen -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm

Provided that:
- the "MSRC4Plugin.dsm" must be at the same folder as vncviewer.exe
- there should be only ONE SPACE between every argument/parameters
- there should be NO SPACE appended after the script

I can be wrong, but I am afraid
those space related statements are valid in helpdesk.txt SC syntax,
not in windows command line, launching vnc viewer...

Edit: Hmm, does he try to launch viewer from singleclick menu item ??

Have you tried to run the script like:
vncviewer -listen{space}{space}-dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm

Dont' just guess. Proof it.

Solved, thanks!
the problem was dubble spaces in this line:
"vncviewer -listen -dsmplugin MSRC4Plugin.dsm", before "MSRC4Plugin.dsm"
Just copied from "http://www.uvnc.com/pchelpware/encrypt/index.html"
(Note! that this Forums 'smart editor' is removing dubbel spaces, before publishing)

I have installed ultr@vnc and i can not get the viewer to listen on any other port this is on a w2k server sp4.

i have tried the -listen [443] switch and it still starts on port 5500

I do this on XP and it works fine.

any ideas would be helpful

thanks

I am used to run it at home on W2K PROF SP4.

I suppose you need -listen 443 or /listen 443 instead of -listen [443].

I have just now tried to run vncviewer with parameters

/listen 5990

and according to firewall status it works....
