VNC and Remote Desktop software (RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, MS Remote Desktop, etc), were around for a long while now. Undoubtedly they work great for most of purposes, I wanted to bring the old VNC / Remote Desktop concept over the web, to allow full web-application integration and full cross-browser cross-platform support out-of-the-box.
ThinVNC is an attempt to this: a pure web application supported for the majority of web browsers and operating systems.
Despite its name, ThinVNC is not a traditional VNC, as it does not implement the AT&T RFB protocol. Instead, it rests on today's web standards: AJAX, JSON and HTML5.
Quick setup:
· Download the zip file: ThinVnc_0.9b3.zip
· Extract the files to a directory and run ThinVncIcs.exe
· Set the listening port (default 80) and the authentication type
· Start the server. Click in “Allow access” when prompted by the Windows Firewall.
· Go to another PC and type http://pc-name-or-ip-address/
· Extract the files to a directory and run ThinVncIcs.exe
· Set the listening port (default 80) and the authentication type
· Start the server. Click in “Allow access” when prompted by the Windows Firewall.
· Go to another PC and type http://pc-name-or-ip-address/
ThinVNC server is currently written in Delphi 2010 and runs on Windows 32/64-bit. ThinVNC client runs in any HTML5 –compliant Web Browser on any OS platform. An experimental alternative non-HTML5 methodology has been adopted to allow Internet Explorer 8 to work with ThinVNC.
ThinVNC is currently in alpha stage and this version must be taken as a technology preview. Remote mouse input is partially implemented, remote keyboard input is still missing.
I’d love to hear your comments and suggestions!
