![]() On the VNC server side (inside the VNC window) run " xcutsel &". Suggest using xcutsel or autocutsel as a work-around: To applications running locally (outside the VNC window) How to copy and paste įrom applications running on a server (visible inside a local VNC window) The simplest and lowest common denominator is the raw encoding method where the pixel data is sent in left-to-right scanline order, and after initial setup, then only transfers the rectangles that have changed. ![]() The VNC protocol allows the client and server to negotiate which encoding it will use. There are now many different 'encodings' or methods to determine the most efficient way to transfer these rectangles. This in its simplest form would cause lots of bandwidth to be used, and hence various methods have been invented to make this process go faster. What this means is VNC takes small rectangles of the screen (actually the framebuffer) and transports them from the server to the client. VNC is actually a VERY simple protocol and is based one one and only one graphic primitive, "Put a rectangle of pixel data at a given x,y position". A server is the machine that is sharing its screen, and the client, or viewer is the program that is doing the watching and perhaps interacting with the server. VNC is actually two parts, a client and a server. The original VNC code is open source, as are many of the flavors of VNC available today. There is even a Java viewer for VNC, so you can connect to a VNC server from your web browser without installing any software. Popular uses of the technology include remote tech support, and accessing your files on your work PC while at home or even on the road. It is also possible for multiple clients to connect to a VNC server at the same time. ![]() A VNC viewer on any operating system can connect to a VNC server on any other operating system. The VNC protocol allows for complete platform independence. In fact you would be hard pressed to not find a viewer available for any GUI operating system. There are clients and servers for many platforms including Linux, Microsoft Windows, Berkeley Software Distribution variants and MacOS X. VNC is used to transport the desktop environment of a graphical user interface from one computer to a viewer application on another computer on the network. Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a remote desktop protocol to remote control another computer.
