Hans-G?nter@22143 1 x11vnc allows to view remotely and interact with real X displays
Hans-G?nter@22143 2 (i.e. a display corresponding to a physical monitor, keyboard, and mouse)
Hans-G?nter@22143 3 with any VNC viewer.
Hans-G?nter@22143 4 In this way it plays the role for Unix/X11 that WinVNC plays for Windows.
Hans-G?nter@22143 5
Hans-G?nter@22143 6 It has built-in SSL/TLS encryption and 2048 bit RSA authentication,
Hans-G?nter@22143 7 including VeNCrypt support; UNIX account and password login support;
Hans-G?nter@22143 8 server-side scaling; single port HTTPS/HTTP+VNC; Zeroconf service advertising;
Hans-G?nter@22143 9 and TightVNC and UltraVNC file-transfer.
Hans-G?nter@22143 10 It has also been extended to work with non-X devices:
Hans-G?nter@22143 11 natively on Mac OS X Aqua/Quartz, webcams and TV tuner capture devices,
Hans-G?nter@22143 12 and embedded Linux systems such as Qtopia Core.
Hans-G?nter@22143 13 Full IPv6 support is provided.
Hans-G?nter@22143 14
Hans-G?nter@22143 15 It also provides an encrypted Terminal Services mode (-create, -svc, or -xdmsvc options)
Hans-G?nter@22143 16 based on Unix usernames and Unix passwords where the user does not need to memorize
Hans-G?nter@22143 17 his VNC display/port number.
Hans-G?nter@22143 18 Normally a virtual X session (Xvfb) is created for each user, but it also works with
Hans-G?nter@22143 19 X sessions on physical hardware. See the tsvnc terminal services mode of the SSVNC viewer
Hans-G?nter@22143 20 for one way to take advantage of this mode.
