Scenario: A fiend on instant messenger just asked you for help. What is the simplest and fastest way to establish the reverse VNC connection?
What about the following?
You go to on-line creator, type your hostname and port (eg "123.123.123.123:5900") and click "create". The website returns a link to the created executable and you give that link to your friend. Your friend then runs the executable and the program will immediately start the reverse connection.
The main difference is that you don't have to worry about the unpacking and repacking of the helpdest.txt file and that the client program does not show the dialog.
Creating the executable using the zipped helpdest.txt file is still useful for the more complex scenarios. I merely suggest adding another feature to the "online creator" page which will create the executable only from the connection string. Since the created executable would not have the dialog and since it would only differ in the connection string, it should be possible to generate the executable simply by overriding the connection string in the binary.
One design decision: What should the name of the produced executable be?
1) specified by the user together with the connection string
2) automatically generated from the connection string
3) randomly generated
I have very slight preference for 2.
