Title: Which VNC program do you use? (... assuming you do)
Post by: Kluge on May 10, 2011, 03:04:51 PM
For a long time, I've used RealVNC after a couple others, and while it's generally the most reliable and easy to use of those I've tried, it doesn't appear to be using anywhere near my full local network bandwidth. I'm going to be setting up a few mining rigs tomorrow and'd like a decent VNC client to remotely check up on the computers when I'm not around to use them off a KVM switch.

I've been told Radmin is a good alternative. Anyone care to vouch for it?

Edit: Should have mentioned -- x64 Windows 7

This is horrendously off topic. I use TightVNC as well as Radmin. Can you please move this to a relevant thread?

Is it? It's fairly important in how I/"we" mine for BTC.

Running RealVNC on Windows Server 2008R2 and RHEL. Viewer works great on WinMo too.

freeNX whenever I can...

I know it's not vnc related, it's better ;)

I switched from tightvnc to teamviewer, I personally htink it's much much better to use then any other VNC client/server (and i monitor my server & pc from my phone).

RealVNC on my windows machines, the rest all use linux and SSH.

Quick question for you guys that use VNC to monitor your mining remotely. I'm using TigerVNC, and I'm seeing the server process crash on me in a completely reproducible way. The best way I can reproduce it is while logged in with the vnc client remotely, simply clicking on the start menu and clicking "All Programs" crashes the winvnc4.exe process every single time! Could this have anything to do with the mining process interfering with the VNC server's video hook?

I use TightVNC when I am on my network.  Teamviewer when I am remote.

Is there an SSH equivalent for windows? I found an actual openSSH port for windows, but its very old and doesnt seem to work on 64 bit W7. I just want a remote command line in windows.

freeSSHd (http://www.freesshd.com/) is old, but it should work on 7.  i know it works on server 2008 at least.

alternatively, sysax multiserver  (http://www.sysax.com/server/index.htm)will do ssh, is guaranteed to work on 7, and there's a limited free version available.

ultravnc here. works awesome for low bandwidth, broadband, and even lan with new u2 encoding + mirror driver. can play games remotely with that codec, it updates so fast

Don't the newer Windows versions with PowerShell have some kind of remote access service that you can enable? PowerShell is awesome and win. If it could be used remotely, that would be so much the better.

Teamviewer, no extra configuration required.

+1 for teamviewer, I like how it can notify me if a rig goes down and I can control them from my iphone.
