Chicken of the VNC is a good free VNC viewer with a silly name, and it runs on Mac OS X 10.3 Panther through 10.5 Leopard. For a step up, $30 will get you the Vine VNC Viewer; this software is faster and more stable than Chicken of the VNC, and it offers screen size scaling (invaluable when controlling a big screen from a small laptop). VNC® Connect is the latest version of our remote access software for personal and commercial use. It consists of a VNC® Server app for the computer you want to control, which must be licensed, and a VNC® Viewer app that you are free to download to all the devices you want to control from.

Wrong port. Port 5900 is for VNC clients to connect to. When you do it throgh the web and want the Java client invoked, you connect to port 5800 (unless the port has been changed by the installer of the service.
It doesn't really matter in this case since the Java client is *not* included with ever VNC server. It seems Apple does not include the Java client with its VNC server.

This does not seem to work on the Apple VNC Server, port 5800 just gets connection refused. Mac os x change language for application. Am I missing something? I know this works with OSXvnc.
--- Jdevaney
The port 5800 trick actually connects to a web server that dishes up a Java applet VNC client. This works on the official version of VNC, and some others like TightVNC, but it doesn't appear to work with either the Apple Remote Desktop or OsxVNC. At least, I just tried with both and couldn't connect.
Port 590x is for when you're using a Client Application to connect to the server. Port 5800 is for when you're connecting through a web browser.

does this REQUIRE 2.1? cuase i haven't upgraded to 2.1 yet. I am trying to connect to my mac with tightvnc and it says incompatible version.
No it does not support ARD 1.2. I just learned the hard way. I put this package on one of my dual machines and now ARD1.2 sees it as unavailable. ARGGHHHHH!
The real kicker is that I ordered and recieved 1.2 the same week that 2.0 came out. My Apple rep even double checked and there was no upgrade path other than buying it over again at the education price of $299. I, too had been holding out on that expense. ARRRGGGGHHHH! (And before anyone points it out, I am sure this was noted in the documentation)

Did anyone try actually installing the linked package? It appears to be an update to the Remote Desktop Client, not the client itself.
I am running Panther; I installed it and cannot find a Remote Desktop client anywhere on my Mac. Am I missing something?

The remote desktop client setup is in control panel, sharing, Apple remote desktop.

Apple Apple Remote Desktop not part of 10.2 or earlier
The issue is that the ARD client became part of the operating system with Panther. For systems running 10.2 or earlier, you need to install the client, which comes on the ARD admin CD, when you purchase it.
So unless you can get access to an ARD installer CD, you won't be able to use this update. Free Vnc Client For Mac Os X 10 13 Download

The only client I could get to connect was Chicken of the VNC, a few others I tried errored on connect.
The 2.1 Client is actually the server, Remote desktop admin is the viewer portion, the client is what installs and allows RD Admin or VNC clients to connect. Windows xp sp3 danskin. Hope this helps. --- Jdevaney

Hooooold on.
https://squareturbo.weebly.com/home/software-update-for-mac-os-x-105-8. So I'm running ARD 1.2 client and management program and they were working just fine. So I installed the new and free 2.1 desktop client and it totally hosed my management program. It either hangs up on launch or complains it's not installed properly. Well, re-installing both the ARD 1.2 client and agent fixes nothing. I have not found a way to undo this horrible damage as there is no way to de-install packages in a supported manner in this new OS of Steve's. I did try the OSXGNU Tool called OSXPM but it is not able to remove most of these ARD packages due to incompatibility. Time for an archive and install . - John

There wasn't really a good built-in way to uninstall software (particularly system-level software, as this is) in the old pre-Steve OS. Izotope 7 license file download. So while your complaint is noted, it's not like Mac OS X is any different than past Mac OSes in this regard.

So it sounds like if you are using both admin and client versions 1.2, upgrading the client to 2.1 is a no no unless you also upgrade the admin side of things?
Install and use Apple's free dual-screen VNC server
Right, mixing management version ARD 1.2 and client ARD 2.1 on the same machine destroys the management function. IT's a nono all right.
Since Apple to this day does not provide a de-installer, I'm looking at an archive and replace. I miss my Mac OS 9 extensions manager. This is a downside to macosxints, in that each hint is not fully tested. The individual needs to be involved in the testing and be ready to participate in that testing, whatever the results might be. 'Don't test a hint on a production system' goes without saying. This hint has been most useful - because of the value of the comments submitted by the readership.
I've been using osxvnc ever since Panther came out, and its been outstanding, except for one problem. OSXVNC does not handle Fast User Switching built in to Panther. This is a documented bug in osxvnc and has not been addressed yet.
With ARD 2.1, yes you sacrafice some performance, but when multiple users are logged in on the same machine, ARD will allow you to interact with the current logged in user and switch to another user (with a disconnect in the middle). OSXVNC will show the screen of the current logged in user, but if OSXVNC was started on a user who's profile is in the background (due to Fast User Switching), your vnc viewer will lock up -- BUMMER. If the current logged in user is the one who started the OSXVNC service, then OSXVNC will continue to work as intended. Still, ARD is the winner for me, because it handles both scenarios. ARD is my new vnc server of choice. Way to go Apple!
I've had success w/ OSXvnc by setting '-restartonuserswitch Y' in the startup script. I forget if the OSXvnc GUI lets you set that, but it is an option in /Library/StartupItems/OSXvnc/OSXvnc.
As you mentioned, there is a disconnect in the middle.

> Anyone recommend a Windows VNC viewer that will
> connect? RealVNC has struck out. I have this same problem. I can't seem to connect to a Mac running ARD Client (i.e., the VNC Server) at all. Just garbage on the screen for only about 20-30 pixels and then nothing. I have tried many VNC Viewers on Windows to no avail. Any suggestions (beyond just installing OSXVNC on my Mac)? Thanks.

This is really sweet, but only seems to work with Chicken of the VNC, not any of the others.
Unfortunate, but usable for now. My dual monitors (not matching, mind you, one 19-inch and one 15-inch) can now be accessed properly, this is great. --- ______ http://www.68kmla.ca/

I recently updated my 10.2 machine the ARD Client 2.1, and the machine can no longer run headless. When you attempt to view or control the machine using ARD Admin 2.1 the window expands to the correct size but continually looses connection. All other ARD functions work properly. Once a monitor is plugged in from startup of the machine, everything including view & control work properly.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is it possible to control an ARD 2.0 Client with ARD 2.1 Admin Software? --- -- Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, You could miss it! --
Not related to VNC, but to anyone running a G3/G4 PowerMac headless.
I've been having problems with 10.3.4 thru 10.3.8 on a G4 tower (533MHz) running headless. Machine will lock up after < 1 minute of remote control using any of ARD, VNC, or Timbuktu 7. It locks up on its own without remote control in < 1 hour. I found that connecting a monitor during bootup solves the problem. The fix does not survive a soft restart though. You can remove the monitor after the Login Window appears. I've ordered a gHead adapter from www.griffintechnology.com and I'll post with results when it arrives. The adapter because fools older ATI video cards into thinking there is a display, and it has a passthrough for a display as well. Just thought I'd let you know so you don't hunt down the wrong issue.

Tried it on my G5 with dual displays - controlling from Chicken of the VNC on an iBook - and just get connection refused all the time, tried different ports, etc. but no luck - anyone have any pointers?

Restarted the sharing server and it works superbly - I withdraw my previous comment above :) Office for mac 2011 keygen download manager.
Until this release, I would wait to start the VNC server until I had used SSH to connect to the Mac, then start OSXVNC from the command line. When finished with VNC, I'd quit the server before logging out of the SSH connection.
What are your feelings about the security of leaving this ARD VNC server up when you're not using it? I'm no security expert, but the precautions I take seem reasonable. Trouble is, I use two monitors and would really like to see both over a VNC connection. --- -- osxpounder
I tried editing com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist, which has a clearly labeled entry for the ports used by ARD. I tried changing the default port 5900 to a non-standard one, and saved the file. I reloaded the file to ensure that my change was saved. Nevertheless, VNC is still being served on port 5900, and not on my specified port. I confirmed this by connecting via a VNC client from another machine. It worked for their port #, but not mine. After trying, I looked again -- yep, the port I specified is still in the .plist file.
And, btw, I did have the firewall open on that port. --- -- osxpounder Free Vnc Client For Mac Os X El Capitan
OK, I'm carrying on this conversation by myself, but someday, someone will care to know this: the AppleVNC server, found in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/MacOS/ . only takes an 8-character password. More characters are a waste; it only looks at the first 8. Also, I can't find a way to get AppleVNCServer to tell me if it has any command line switches. /? and /help did nothing. --- -- osxpounder
in reply to editing the com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file.
As far as I can tell, that is a file that is generated/updated by the Sharing Preference Pane when you make changes. Then, I think, the Pane calls the 'firewalltool' program, located in '/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/NetworkConfig.framework/Versions/A/Resources/'. This tool, I think, flushes the ipfw rules, adds a default restrictive set of rules, then adds 'allow' rules for each port listed in the com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist file. I deduced this from the 'NetworkExtensions' StartupItem, located in '/System/Library/StartupItems/NetworkExtensions/'. So, to summarize, changing the port in that plist file will only change the firewall entry, not the VPN server.
The secure way to do this is to forward VNC through SSH.
I don't know exactly how the VNC protocol works, but I'll bet that it transmits everything in the clear, including your login password. Any observer could catch things you type or things that the screen shows. How do you do this? Hcl notebook l21 cmp vga drivers windows 7. You run the VNC server continuously, but block VNC at the firewall. Then, to use VNC, you add the option -L 5900:remote.ip.address:5900 to the ssh command. You can also use ~C during an established SSH connection to create the tunnel. Then, you tell the client to connect to localhost instead of the remote computer's IP address. This way, only someone who can log in via SSH can use the VNC server, and all of the traffic is encrypted. Also, I think OSXVnc has an option to only accept connections that have been forwarded through SSH.
Reply to this thread with notes about which VNC clients can be used to connect to the server enabled by this hint.
I have been unable to get the Leopard built-in Screen Sharing application to work with this hint, but Chicken of the VNC is able to work. Free Vnc Client For Mac Os X 10 12
