Vino Client For Mac
- TigerVNC is a high-performance, platform-neutral implementation of VNC (Virtual Network Computing), a client/server application that allows users to launch and interact with graphical applications on remote machines. TigerVNC provides the levels of performance necessary to run 3D and video applications, and it attempts to maintain a common look.
- The best free client for Mac OS X, in my opinion, is Chicken of the VNC sourceforge.net. At the commercial end of the spectrum is Apple Remote Desktop 2.1 apple.com. Apple Remote Desktop is much more than just a remote control solution; it provides desktop and systems management tools, software distribution tools, mass screen sharing.
Getting started with Vino When enabling screen sharing, users will allow remote users to view or control their desktop by connecting to a specific VNC URI, such as vnc://softpedia-linux. In addition, they can enable or disable remote control, approval for incoming connections, as well as password-based authentication. Download and install the software for your operating system on the computer or device you are connecting from and on the Windows/Linux/Mac computer you want to connect to. You can easily share a remote desktop or control a server over any network.

To connect a VNC client to a VNC server, you need to know the name or the IP address of the computer you'll connect to, and the port or display number of its VNC server. By convention, port numbers start at 5,900 and go up, so a computer that shared three different desktops would normally listen on ports 5,900, 5,901 and 5,902. Display numbers use the 5,900 convention to try to make things easier - port number 5,900 is display number :0, port number 5,901 is display number :1, and so on.
If you accidentally display the remote desktop fullscreen, try pressing F8 or F11 to exit.
If you connect to the VNC server but can't change anything, it's possible the server or client is in view-only mode. Both server and client need to be configured to let you control the keyboard and mouse.
If you connect to a VNC server, can see the initial desktop, can see the mouse moving around, but the rest of the screen doesn't update, then you probably need to disable desktop effects on the shared desktop. A known bug means that desktop effects are currently incompatible with most VNC servers.
