To the best of my knowledge these commands and information are correct since I'm writing this from memory as I cannot access my actual notes right now. Once you are finished close the VNC window and use Control + C in the Terminal to quit the SSH session. Of course this assumes you can access the computer directly by its IP address or DNS name.

If you are using another Mac to connect to the "shared" Mac (aka "remote server"), then you just click on the "Go" menu in the Finder and select "Connect to Server" and enter the following address: vnc://localhost:5900

Then to access the "shared" machine (aka "remote server") you need to first establish an SSH encrypted tunnel from the client computer like this on macOS/Linux command line (I'm not sure what the Windows equivalent is): ssh -C -N -L 5901:localhost:5900 is an account on the remote system with SSH privileges and "" is the IP address or DNS name of the system you want to access. This Mac will now be referred to as the "shared" machine or "remote server". You need to make sure "Remote Login" is checked in the "Sharing" System Preferences so that you can first create an SSH tunnel to the computer before using VNC to access the system.

Mac OS X 10.4 - 10.5: JollysFastVNC.10.4.No VNC is not secure or encrypted by default. You can mail me by clicking on the mail link inside the ‘About box’ in JollysFastVNC. Read the Readme before submitting though. I'm thinking about a solution which does not slow down high performance servers like ScreenRecycler.įeedback is very welcome if you have a truly new idea or found a bug. Some servers are not capable of handling the amount of requests JollysFastVNC sends them. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client.

So I started programming JollysFastVNC to let people use the full power of ScreenRecycler. Without a proper viewer people can't access ScreenRecycler in the way I imagined. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there were enough VNC clients out there to support it.
