Hi everyone,
I have been using RealVNC to help several friends of mine over the
internet for years now. My way of doing it was to install the VNC server
on their computer, additionaly add an entry to no-ip so I can easily
find them back and everything went ok this way. Now I feel like
maintaining such information is quite hard and force me to work a little
bit more as soon as they want to change some configuration or reinstall
their computer. I would like to find a way to help them more efficiently
and to avoid configuration time.
I am thinking of turning the configuration process server to client,
avoiding the no-ip configuration. I then would have a single no-ip to
maintain : mine (that I already do as you could imagine). I would then
have a listening viewer on port 5500... For my friends' side, I would
still have to install VNC server on their computer (this step is
definitely needed ;) ) and configure their firewall corretly. Now I
would like an easy way for both them and I to connect to my listening
viewer.
I suppose I could spread a batch file with something like :
[code]
winvnc4 -connect my-no-ip:5500
[/code]
supposing a VNC server is already runing.
However, the VNC viewer has an option to store .vnc files on the disk.
My question is would the server have such functionality to have a
configuration file telling him which host to call ?
The batch solution, if working, would probably not be ideal for beginers :
- batch file may be intercepted by their email clients
- console is not intuitive
- error messages (may happen hey ;) ) would be far from understandable
Additionaly, it would be nice to let their server beeing stopped all the
time, eventually make it run and automatically connect as soon as they
need assistance.
Any idea welcome...
Hope this is constructive enough ;)
Best regards,
Yann
