I'm a student who needs (I repeat, needs) to be able to access my desktop at home from school, and also needs to have file-transfer capabilities, but there are many complications.
First, our campus computers are maintained so that no client software (including VNC viewers and ActiveX plugins) can be installed without proper authorization from the IT staff. Does anybody know of a way to use VNC with a viewer that can be stored on physical media and run without installing? I know it sounds strange to use physical media to transfer a viewer while I could use it to transfer files, but I really need to access my remote desktop. Secondly, my home computer is behind a NAT/UPnP-enabled router which blocks out many ports. I have no way of changing the port-redirect settings on my SMC Barricade because it is maintained centrally, although I might be able to contact them. However, does anybody a viewer that complies with the above condition (#1) and this restriction? Lastly, our campus computers are also protected behind numerous firewalls, to which access is completely impossible. Is it possible to access my home computer through the campus network, over the internet, through my router, without installing a viewer? *Campus Computer* -> Academy Firewall -> Academy Firewall -> *INTERNET* -> Home Router -> *Home Computer* _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
