No "accept connection" window with x11vnc reverse

Post by cbraxton »

When using x11vnc on Linux to reverse-connect to an Ultra VNC viewer on Windows it works OK, but no "accept incoming connection" dialog box pops up. The connection is made immediately without any confirmation on the viewer end. Sometimes this can be an annoyance, is there any way to enable the confirmation prompt when using x11vnc reverse connections?

Unfortunately the answer is NO.

The listening viewer will ONLY display the "accept incoming connection" prompt for a SingleClick connection -- even not possible with the UltraVNC server.

Try running this:

Code: Select all

x11vnc -rfbversion 3.14 -connect ...
and report back here what you find. Also try '-rfbversion 3.16'. These may trick uvnc viewer into thinking x11vnc is incoming SC.

I tried this just now with uvnc viewer under Wine on Linux and something different happened, but the window was messed up. Maybe it will work on windows...
