Is it possible to connect to ultravnc via rdp. Remote computer control

Hello, dear readers of the Country IT website. Today we will talk about another remote access program. With it, you can fully control the remote computer. It's about the VNC client for Windows. This allows users to connect to computers running Windows and Linux operating systems and make any settings. There is also full support for almost all modern operating systems. A VNC client can become an indispensable assistant for you if you often have to manage remote computers or if you service a PC fleet. In the article I will tell you in detail how to download, install and configure the utility.

How to download VNC client for Windows.

To start using the program, you need to download it so as not to catch viruses on your computer, we will download the program from the official website. To do this, follow the link - www.realvnc.com/download/

On the download page, in order to download the free VNC client for Windows, you must select the appropriate icon and click on the "DOWNLOAD VNC CONNECT" button. Also, under the download button, you can choose in which extension to download the program: exe, Zip or in MSI Installer format.

The installation of the program consists of two parts - server and client. If you want to manage a remote computer, then install the client part - VNC Viewer, but if you want to further manage this computer, then install VNC Server.

How to install VNC.

Let's now take a closer look at how to install a VNC client for Windows. To do this, run the downloaded executable file and follow the steps:

1. Before the beginning Windows installation asks if you want to run this file, click the "Run" button;
   
2. Next, the following window will open with a description of the program and the license agreement. Check the box "I accept the agreement" and click the "Next" button;
   
3. In the next window, you need to choose that we will install "VNC Server", "VNC Viewer" or both. After you make your choice, click the "Next" button;
   
4. Next, select the path to install the program or leave everything by default;
   
5. In the Firewall Configuration window, check the box "Add an exception to the firewall for VNC Server";
   
6. Next, we wait for the installation process to complete the program.

We were able to install a VNC client for Windows, now let's look at how to set up the program and how to use it.

How to use VNC - a program for remote access to a computer.

After we have installed the server and client parts, you need to configure them. To do this, start the VNC Server first and in the main window, set the password that will be used by the client to connect to this computer.

If you need round-the-clock access to the computer, then it must be turned on all the time, and the VNC server program is running.

In order to make remote connections from your computer to other PCs, you and I will need a VNC Viewer. Let's launch it. The program window looks modest, but there is nothing superfluous. In the very center is the line "VNC server" in which you must enter the name of the remote computer or IP address. How to find out the IP address read the article -. If you want to connect by name, you can view it in the system properties.

In my case, I will enter the IP address. After clicking on the “Connect” button, a window for entering the password for connecting to the server will appear. After that, the remote desktop will appear in front of you. Now you can perform any action as if it were your computer.

What to do if you can't connect.

There are often cases when, after installing the VNC client for Windows, the connection fails. There are a number of specific reasons for this, let's consider them in more detail:

• Antivirus programs have blocked VNC from working. Very often, antiviruses define remote access programs as unwanted software and block their work by all means. In order to avoid such a situation, you need to add the program to the antivirus exclusion lists;
• Wrong IP address. Sometimes there are cases when the user of the remote computer tells you the wrong IP address. Thus, you cannot connect. I recommend clarifying the information and reconnecting;
• Wrong password. If you yourself set the password for the server version. Then you need to check whether you are entering it correctly, perhaps you have capital letters enabled or the wrong input language has been selected;
• The program switched to a different work port. By default, the program works through port 5900. Check if this port is occupied by some other application. You can also perform port forwarding.

These are the main problems encountered when working with VNC Viewer. As you can see, they are quite solvable. The functionality of the program is quite simple, there are no super-useful functions here. The program has quite standard set instruments, which is similar to and, and possibly inferior to its counterparts. What captivates the VNC client for Windows is high speed work and great support for all modern platforms. This makes the program attractive enough for users who have devices with different operating systems.

Let's summarize.

Today we got some kind of chaotic review of the program. But still, I gave you the big picture. Now you know about the VNC client for Windows and you can download and install it. Perhaps the program will enter your everyday life and will replace more popular programs such as . VNC has all the necessary functions to work, while it practically does not use computer resources and at the same time provides fast stable communication between devices.

VNC is a computer desktop remote control system. User VNC client sees desktop image VNC servers and controls it with a mouse and keyboard in the same way as your own computer.

The VNC server can be run on a work computer, and if necessary, access it from home. Or vice versa. To connect, you need to make sure that the TCP port used by the server (5900 by default) is available for incoming connections from the client.

UltraVNC is taken on . Other notable VNC implementations are RealVNC and TightVNC , and more variants can be found . Theoretically, they are all compatible with each other, although some special functions (clipboard or file transfer) may not work between different implementations.

Helping newbies

VNC is also useful for helping other users. Help, seeing what is happening on the screen, is much easier.

However, many people have routers and firewalls, and it is unrealistic to demand from a beginner the ability to open the right port for incoming connections. We come to the rescue reverse connection(reverse connection). In this mode, the connection is initiated by the VNC server.

An experienced user launches a VNC client in listening mode (port listening mode) (vncviewer.exe /listen) and makes port 5500 available outside. A beginner can only download and run the VNC server and connect to the client at the specified IP address.

Here is a dedicated page with instructions for the beginner. I think an experienced user detailed instructions Not needed. I will only note that during the connection, the clipboard becomes shared, and that if the beginner has a screen resolution greater than yours, then in the client you can scale the image to an acceptable size.

Additionally

Advantages of VNC - multiplatform and free. If you have Windows XP installed everywhere, then the built-in tools - Remote Desktop or Remote Assistance - will probably work for you for remote access. It seems that they can also be connected via reverse connection.

If you have a dynamic external IP address, it is convenient to make yourself a (free) Dynamic DNS, for example at dyndns.com. You will have a small program running on your computer (and some routers have such a built-in functionality) that notifies the DynDNS service about changes to your IP. As a result, the domain you choose, for example pupkin.dyndns.org, will always point to your current IP address

If you are a professional technical support, then you may be particularly comfortable . This is a special lightweight version of the VNC server that can only make reverse connections and only to pre-configured IP addresses. Of course, then you must be authoritative enough for the user to agree to download and run this configured VNC server from your own site.
(Ah, who am I kidding here... Many users will run whatever they are offered anyway)

We recommend using UltraVNC only for those users for whom the words DynDNS and Port Forwarding are not an empty phrase, since the setup of this program is rather complicated. All detailed information on this subject, you will find on the forum.ultravnc.net page.

Program installation

The program package includes UltraVNC Server components and UltraVNC Viewer version 1.1.9.1. Install the program on both the main PC and the remote machine. When installing the server in additional options choose to register the application as a system service.

Access settings

On a computer with installed server hover your mouse over the UltraVNC icon in the taskbar. Then right-click on the icon and select "Admin Properties". In the "Authentication" section, set a password for the connection.

Establishing a connection

Now run the UltraVNC Viewer program on the host PC and enter its DynDNS address in the "VNC Server" line (see dyn.com for details). Click on the "Connect" button and enter the password for your server. In response, UltraVNC will open a new window in which you can see the interface of the remote computer and control it, performing actions, as on a local PC.

Encryption of data transmission

Since UltraVNC itself does not offer any encryption, you need to add it using a plugin. For the server computer, copy the SecureVNCPlugin.dsm file to C:\Program Files\uvnc bvba\UltraVNC. Then right-click on the UltraVNC icon in the Taskbar and select "Admin Properties". Under the line "DSM Plugin", check the box before "Use", select the SecureVNC plugin from the list and confirm your choice by clicking on "Apply | OK".

On the Viewer client computer, copy the SecureVNCPlugin.dsm file to the C:\Program Files\UltraVNC folder. Now launch the Viewer and activate the "Use DSM Plugin" option. Select a plugin from the list and connect to the server. From now on, your connection information, as well as all other data transfers, will be encrypted.

Attention. It may happen that windows firewall will detect data traffic generated by UltraVNC and block the program. Click on "Allow access" to continue remote work.

Increase in speed

You can increase your connection speed by removing the time-consuming compression of data packets. In the main window of the program, click on the "Options" button and uncheck the box before the "Auto select best settings" entry. Now select the "Ultra" option and activate the "Use CopyRect encoding", "Zip/Tight Compression" and "Jpeg (Tight) - Quality" options. Click on "OK", and then be sure to confirm the save installed settings by clicking on the "Connect" line.

Attention! Came out a new version UVNC-1.0.9.2. Declared support for Windows 7, Vista and Aero!

Consider the following situation. Remote office, there is a local network for several computers, NAT router. One of the computers needs to be accessed remotely to provide remote assistance. The computer is running Windows 7.

Launch the UltraVNC installer. The first few screens are the usual blah blah, familiarization with the license, etc. Important Points start with the installation type selection screen:

Several options are available:

• Full installation - complete installation. Installed server + client.
• UltraVNC Server Only - only the server is installed.
• UltraVNC Server Only "silent" - only the server is installed in the "no questions asked" mode.
• UltraVNC Viewer Only - only the client is installed.

Our choice is UltraVNC Server Only.

Next, we are invited to download add-ons for Windows Vista(they are also relevant for the Seven). The most important of them: cad.exe - without it, the client will not be able to send the CTRL + ALT + DEL command to the remote computer. Check the “Download Vista addons files now” option.

In the next window, we will be prompted to download the capture driver. Personally, I prefer to install the driver manually, so we DO NOT check the Download mirror driver option:

Next screen:

Checking the options:

• Register UltraVNC Server as a system service - register the UltraVNC server as a system service.
• Start or restart UltraVNC service – start/restart the UltraVNC service.
• Create UltraVNC desktop icons - create shortcuts on the desktop.
• Associate UltraVNC Viewer with .vnc file extension - open files with .vnc extension using UltraVNC Viewer.

Click Next, after downloading the add-ons, we complete the installation. Reboot if necessary.

Now you can move on to configuring the basic settings of the UltraVNC server.

Setting up Ultra VNC.

In the tray, right-click on the UltraVNC icon and select Admin Properties:

More about settings. Section Incoming Connections - incoming connections.

• Accept Socket Connections - accept incoming connections. For normal operation this item must be checked.
• Display - display number.
• Ports - ports. Main - port for connecting the uvnc client. Http - port for connecting a java client. It's best to leave it set to Auto.
• Enable Java Viewer (Http Connect) – allow java client connections.
• Allow Loopback Connections – allow reverse connections (connections to addresses from the 127.х.х.х range). must be noted if a repeater is installed on this computer.
• Loopback Only - Allow only reverse connections.

Section When Last Client Disconnects - when the last client is disconnected.

• Do Nothing - do nothing. We leave this option.
• Lock Workstation (W2K) - lock the session (you will need to enter a password to enter).
• Logoff Workstation - end the session.

Query On Incoming Connection section - display a query when a new incoming connection is received.

• Display Query Window - show the query window.
• Timeout is the time before the default action is executed.
• Default action - default action. Refuse - reject, Accept - accept.

Keyboard & Mouse section - keyboard and mouse.

• Disable Viewers Inputs - disable input from the client.
• Disable Local Inputs - disable input from the server.
• Japanese - ??? Perhaps, it means support for the Japanese keyboard ... Sometimes it helps with glitches with the Russian layout.

Section Multi Viewer Connections - simultaneous connection of several clients.

• Disconnect all existing connections - disable all current connections. Only one client can be connected at a time. The last one to connect wins.
• Keep existing connections - keep current connections. Several clients can be connected at the same time.
• Refuse the new connection - ???. The meaning is not clear. When this option is set, you can connect to multiple clients...
• Refuse all new connections - deny all new connections. Only one client can be connected at a time. The first one to connect wins. We choose this option.

Section Authentication - authentication.

• VNC Password - login password. After installation, you need to come up with New Password otherwise you won't be able to connect.
• View-Only Password - password to enter the view mode. With this password, the client will connect in view mode (client and server settings are ignored).
• Require MS Logon - use Windows authentication (computer and user must be in the same domain).
• New MS Logon - Enables MS-Logon II (cross-domain authentication).

Section Misc. - different.

• Remove Aero (Vista) – disable Aero (3D, transparency and other Vista interface gadgets). Recommended.
• Remove Wallpaper for Viewers - remove desktop wallpaper. Recommended.
• Enable Blank Monitor on Viewer Request - at the request of the client, disables the server monitor (the image is displayed in full screen). Strange, but the option also covers the client screen with a picture. This bug can be bypassed by disabling the use of the capture driver (Properties -> Video Hook Driver).
• Disable Only Inputs on Blanking Request - disables only input from the server console, while the screen does not close.
• Enable Alpha-Blending Monitor Blanking is another option to disable the server monitor. Use if you have problems with the first option.
• Capture Alpha-Blending - enabling this option allows IN SOME CASES to “see” the client video running on the server in a video player, for example, in Windows Media Player (depending on the codecs installed on the server computer).
• Disable Tray icon - remove the icon from the tray. If the user is curious, it is better to remove it.
• Forbid the user to close down WinVNC - forbid the user to close the uvnc server. Recommended.
• Default Server Screen Scale - default screen scale.

Section File Transfer - file transfer.

• Enable - enable file transfer.
• User Impersonation (for Service only) – ???

DSM (Data Stream Modification) Plugin section – plug-ins connection (several plug-ins for data stream encryption are currently available).

Section Logging - creating a log file.

• Log Debug infos to the WinVNC.log file - writes data about the functioning of uvnc to a log file.
• Path - the path to save the log file.

After setting the parameters, click Apply and then OK. Each time, Windows will ask you to confirm the changes.

The next step is the screen capture settings. Right click on the UltraVNC icon and select Properties.

• Poll Full Screen (Ultra Fast) – ??? I didn't notice any difference when turning it on/off.
• Poll Foreground Window - ??? When using this and the following three options, some parts of the screen may freeze and stop updating. This information is just my guess...
• Poll Console Windows Only -???
• Poll Window Under Cursor - ???
• Poll On Event Only – ???
• System HookDll - the option makes sense on Windows 9x.
• Video Hook Driver - use the video capture driver. Provides the best performance on Windows XP/Vista/7. This option provides the best performance.
• Low Accuracy (Turbo Speed) - gives an increase in speed due to a decrease in accuracy (I personally did not notice any changes, perhaps this option is for slow connections).
• Share only the Server Window Named: - do not show the entire screen, but only the window with the specified name. No matter how much I tried, it never worked...

The Check the Video Hook Driver button is used to check the operation of the capture driver. It should only be used if at least one client is connected to the server. AT otherwise a message will always be displayed that the driver is not active. This is what the message looks like that the driver is installed and functioning:

This completes the basic configuration of the UltraVNC server.

In order for the server to be accessible via the Internet, it is necessary to configure tcp 5900 port forwarding on the router. Also, this port must be open in the server's firewall. If you are using only the built-in Windows Firewall, then you do not need to take any additional steps, the necessary permissions are already created during installation.

Server connection

Launch UltraVNC Viewer (client):

Main parameters of UltraVNC Viewer:

• VNC Server - server address.
• AUTO, ULTRA, LAN, MEDIUM, MODEM, SLOW, MANUAL - depending on the speed of your channel, the program optimizes the quality settings.
• View Only – connect in view mode. Interaction with the console is prohibited.
• Auto scaling - auto tuning scale. Check to prevent scrollbars from appearing.
• Confirm Exit - confirm the exit. When the client window is closed, a dialog box will be displayed.
• Use DSMPlugin - use the plugin.
• Proxy/Repeater - use a repeater. Here you must specify the address of the repeater.
• Save connection settings as default - save current settings as default settings.

Additional parameters of the uvnc client (Options button):

I will not describe all the options, I will note only the most important ones:

• Track remote cursor locally - show cursor/mouse pointer.
• Don't show remote cursor - do not show the cursor / mouse pointer.
• Show button’s bar (“Toolbar”) – whether or not to show the toolbar.
• Full-screen mode - full screen mode.
• Viewer Scale - scaling settings.
• Disable clipboard transfer - disable clipboard synchronization.
• Number of times the reconnect is attempted - the number of reconnect attempts.

Installing and configuring the repeater.

Download repeater.zip . There is only one file in the archive - repeater.exe. I recommend immediately moving it to the C:\Program Files\UltraVNC\Repeater folder.

Run repeater.exe. An icon will appear in the tray. We make a right click on it and select the Settings item in the menu:

You should check the values ​​of the following options:

• Listen port viewer - value 5901.
• Enable Proxy(443) – disable.
• Enable Mode I - enabled.
• Enable Mode II - disable.

The rest of the options are left unchanged. Save - save the settings and close the window.

The next step is to open tcp port 5901 in the firewall. In the router settings, you need to create a rule to forward the tcp port 5901 to the computer where the repeater is installed.

To connect via a repeater in the client settings, do the following:

• In the VNC Server field, specify not external, but internal address server on the local network.
• Check the Proxy / Repeater option and specify the external address of the router with the port on which the repeater is configured (for example, 83.45.67.8 :5901 ).

Finishing touch. For the repeater to be always available, it must be run as a system service. To do this, open a command prompt as administrator, and run repeater.exe with the -install parameter. The service repeater_service will be created (it is not started by default, so start it manually or just reboot).
To uninstall the service, run repeater.exe with the -uninstall option.

UltraVNC SC (Single Click) - remote assistance without preset UltraVNC servers.

How it works. On your computer, you start UltraVNC Viewer in listen mode. send (by e-mail or otherwise) to a remote computer, an archive with a pre-configured UltraVNC SC server. The user unpacks the archive, launches the program and connects. As a result, you get access to the console of the remote computer. Because the connection is initiated by the remote computer, there is no need to configure the firewall and router on the remote network.

Now more about the setting. First you need to configure UltraVNC SC.

We need the following files: winvnc_SCII_100.exe and custom.zip . Next, create a folder with an arbitrary name (for example, UltraVNC SC). It has a data subfolder. We transfer winvnc_SCII_100.exe to this subfolder and unpack the contents of custom.zip there.

Now you need to edit the helpdesk.txt file. This file is responsible for the connection manager interface:

Each section of helpdesk.txt is responsible for a text field (see screenshot below):

Here is an example of my helpdesk.txt:

Remote help website maxbond.no-ip.org -connect test.no-ip.org:5500 -noregistry // instead of test.no-ip.org you need to specify your ip-address or domain, port 5500 is better not to change Select the connection Use double click to start connecting site https://www.... Connection established!

If you create your own helpdesk.txt based on mine, don't forget to remove the comments starting with "\\".

The rc4.key file is not deleted, it is needed for encryption.

We return to the UltraVNC SC folder. So that the user is not confused, let's create a shortcut to launch winwvnc_SCII_100.exe directly from it. To do this, right-click on winwvnc_SCII_100.exe and select "Create Shortcut". We transfer the created shortcut to a higher level, in UltraVNC SC. Now open the shortcut properties. Field " Work folder” clear, it should be empty. Enter the following command in the field:

%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /C start /B /D .\data .\data\winvnc_SCII_100.exe

All this magic is necessary so that the shortcut uses a relative path to launch winvnc_SCII_100.exe, and not an absolute one, as is the default.

In the end, we pack the UltraVNC SC folder into an archive and send it to the user.

It remains to prepare your computer to receive the connection. UltraVNC Viewer must be launched in listen mode. To do this, use the shortcut Programs -> UltraVNC -> UltraVNC Viewer -> Run UltraVNC Viewer (listen mode) or run vncviewer.exe with the -listen parameter. Also, don't forget to open port tcp 5500 in the firewall and configure forwarding of the same port on the router (if, of course, there is one on your network).

Please note that the connection parameters (quality, etc.) are still configured in the UltraVNC Viewer (right click on the uvnc icon in the tray -> Default connection options…).

• How to save connection settings to a file?
  Connect to the server (you can save settings only during the connection), then click CTRL+ALT+F5.

teamviewer is one of the leading solutions for desktop access and web collaboration. TeamViewer is part of a series of software GFI Software— powerful IT solutions for small and medium businesses.

The German company TeamViewer GmbH was founded in 2005 and is fully focused on the development and distribution of high-quality solutions for online collaboration and communication. Fast start and strong growth has resulted in over 200 million installs in over 200 countries worldwide. The software is currently available in over 30 languages.

The core technology developed by the company supports high-performance global network TeamViewer servers that distributes connections based on geolocation.

Installing TeamViewer on Linux

    teamviewer- free for non-commercial use, remote administration tool for computers that do not have network interfaces accessible from the Internet, i.e. computers "behind NAT" when network adapters hosts are assigned IP addresses reserved for use only in local networks("gray IP"). Data exchange between computers using Teamviewer is carried out through special servers of the developer company, the connection to which, both the managing and managed computers, is performed as a normal client connection, and all traffic between them is sent within the application protocol. In other words, the Teamviewer software enables the exchange of data between computers from different networks without the need for a non-private routable IP address and open ports. Such a connection can be imagined as a virtual Ethernet cable pulled between computers that have made a remote connection through the TeamViewer support server.

The high popularity of Teamviewer, in comparison with similar programs, is caused not only by free and ease of use, but also by cross-platform, i.e. the ability to use in the environment of most of the currently existing operating systems for desktop and mobile devices- Windows, including Windows phone, Linux, Android, MAC, IOS .

For installation teamviewer in operating systems of the Linux family, the developer recommends using software for the graphical user environment, such as the "Application Center" linux ubuntu, or "Add/Remove Programs" Center Linux control Mageia. After downloading the installation file for the selected Linux distribution, just double-click or call context menu right button mouse to start the installation process teamviewer.

To install from command line in the RedHat, Mageia, CentOS, Fedora, SUSE environment, you need to download the rpm package (teamviewer_linux.rpm package.) and run the command:

In case the team yum will display a message about the absence of a public key (: missing public key), you need to download it in addition to the package being installed, from the link on the download page, and import it with the command

rpm --import TeamViewer_Linux_PubKey.asc

After importing the key, you need to repeat the command yum for TeamViewer rpm.

When installing TeamViewer from the command line in a Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu environment: :

For 32-bit OS, you need to download the package teamviewer_linux.deb, for 64-bit - teamviewer_linux_x64.deb and run the command

In case the command dpkg will end with a message about unsatisfied dependencies (missing dependencies), you need to complete the installation of TeamViever with the command:

sudo apt-get install -f

AT latest versions 64-bit DEB systems (Debian 7) package teamviewer_linux_x64.deb requires 32-bit libraries from the package teamviewer_linux.deb, which will have to be installed regardless of the bitness of the OS.

If you receive a message about the wrong processor architecture ("wrong architecture i386"), you need to run the following commands:

dpkg --add-architecture i386

    teamviewer can be installed for those Linux distributions that are not officially supported. To install in an RPM environment - systems, you can download the package in the format tar.gz, unzip its contents in some directory and run the command

urpmi --force --allow-nodeps teamviewer_linux.rpm

For distribution PCLinuxOS installation teamviewer can be done from own repository provided by the support team.

Installing Teamviewer on Windows.

    Installing TeamViewer in Windows environment performed in the standard way. During the installation process, you must select the required option for using the program:

The default choice is to install Teamviewer as a regular application when no administrator rights are required. Option Install so that you can manage this computer remotely later is used to install a program with the ability to automatically start Teamviewer as a system service and allows you to connect to a managed computer even if the user is not logged on to it. This installation mode requires local administrator rights. The last option allows you to launch TeamViewer without installation when the program is used as a portable application.

Next, you need to take license agreement and the TemViewer installation will continue. To use the program in the free version, you must select the mode Personal / non-commercial use.

After launching TeamViewer, a connection to the support network is established and the main program window is displayed on the computer screen.

The TeamViewer program has a fairly simple and intuitive interface that allows you to select the remote control mode:

— Allow management- when the computer is controlled remotely, by a user who has access to it, i.e. who knows the identifier displayed in the field Your ID and a password corresponding to the identifier.

— Manage computer- remote control of a computer to which you have access, i.e. its ID is known ( Partner ID) and password. In standard mode, a password is generated for each new session remote connection, however, it is possible to create and save your personal permanent password to access this computer. At automatic start TeamViewer and knowing the ID and password, you can remotely control your computer from anywhere in the world where you have Internet access.

In panel Manage computer It is possible to connect in one of two modes:

— Remote control— access to the desktop of a remote computer with the selected identifier.

— File transfer- performing file exchange with a remote computer using TeamViewer.

Launching TeamViewer without installation.

    Developers TeamViewer provided the ability to run the program in a portable version, without installing it on this computer what version is used for TeamViewer QuickSupport, which can be downloaded for the operating system used in the section Additional downloads . In operating rooms Windows systems to run the portable variant is used TeamViewer QS.exe(TeamViewerQS_ru.exe for the Russian version). For operating systems of the family Linux/Unix download compressed file teamviewer_qs.tar.gz. When you open a link to download the installation package in an Internet browser, by default, you are prompted to select an option (Open, save:) and a program to open of this type files. For example,

The user can choose the option to open using the manager for working with archives ( engrampa- File-roller fork) or save the downloaded archive in any available directory, unzip its contents, and then run the executable file teamviewer. Installation of the program and superuser (root) rights are not required., since the package teamviewer_qs.tar.gz compiled in such a way that it contains all the modules necessary for operation, and the libraries necessary to satisfy the dependencies are usually present with the standard installation of the system. If necessary, missing libraries can be identified by running the command:

tv-setup-checklibs

When starting TeamViewer QuickSupport on the computer to which the desktop will be connected remotely, a window with authentication data is displayed:

Your ID— a unique identifier assigned to each computer connected to the TeamViewer service servers.

Remote control of computers via the Internet - UltraVNC

Password— the password that is checked when making a remote connection.

The ID and password must be shared with the partner connecting to your desktop.

When connecting remotely, a prerequisite is that the versions of the application protocols supported by the TeamViewer programs on both sides match.

Otherwise, the connection will end with an error negotiating connection protocols and prompting you to update the application version.

Examples of remote connection using Teamviewer.

    Today, TeamViewer versions for Windows and Linux have almost the same features, similar settings and the same usage.

Teamviewer allows you to exchange files between computers, regardless of the type file system that exists on each of them. Files and folders can be transferred between computers, for example, running Windows 7 and Linux Mint16:

In this example, the left panel displays the contents of the root directory of the file system of the local computer running Linux, and the left panel displays the root of drive C: on remote computer operating under Windows 7 The file transfer mode can be initiated by the host computer through the "File transfer" menu and allows you to transfer data in both directions (the "Send" and "Receive" buttons). In addition to file transfer, chat between partners is possible, as well as audio / video communication, enabled by the corresponding buttons of the Teamviewer main menu on the controlling computer.It is also possible to change the roles of the controlling and managed computers on the initiative of the manager through the menu "Actions" - "Switch sides with a partner".

Standard use of TeamViewer assumes the ability to connect remotely under control local user computer - it launches the program and tells the partner the ID and password for connection. However, it is possible to configure TeamViewer in such a way that it is possible to do without any action by the human operator on the computer to which the connection is being made. In TeamViewer terminology, this mode is called "Uncontrolled Access". The program, when configured using uncontrolled access, is installed and executed as a system service that starts even before the user logs into the system. The computer has a permanent identifier and password, knowing which, you can connect to the remote desktop at any time on the initiative of the connecting party, which is very convenient when administering remote systems where there is no way to interact with the user.

To set up uncontrolled access, in the main menu of the program, click the "Connection" button and select the "Set up uncontrolled access" item:

Entered during the dialogue, the computer name and password can be changed at any time. Uncontrolled access is configured in the same way for using TeamViewer on Windows and Linux.
