 admin

Use vncserver to start a VNC server on an NMRFAM computer. If you are NOT physically logged into the NMRFAM computer, use vncserver to start a virtual desktop to run experiments remotely, process or analyze data. Start a VNC server on the NMRFAM computer from your Mac OS-X computer; Open a terminal window on your Linux computer; ssh to the gateway computer. CoRD is a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Windows servers running Microsoft Remote Desktop or Terminal Services. Vine Server (OSXvnc) Vine Server(OSXvnc) is a robust, full-featured VNC server for MacOS X.

You can do the same from the Finder:
Go->Connect to Server. Or Command-k.
Type in the same 'vnc://..' as above (without the 'open' part). You can save connection shortcuts here also.

Zenmap for mac os x 7. Zenmap is the official Nmap Security Scanner GUI. It is a multi-platform (Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, BSD, etc.) free and open source application which aims to make Nmap easy for beginners to use while providing advanced features for experienced Nmap users. Frequently used scans can be saved as profiles to make them easy to run repeatedly. The easiest way to install Nmap and Zenmap on Mac OS X is to use our installer. The Mac OS X section of the Nmap download page provides a file named nmap.dmg, where is the version number of the most recent release. The.dmg file is known as a.

And of course, the 'open' command can be used to open anything that LaunchServices can - files, applications, URL's, and optionally specify the app to open them with. Very powerful command - even if this is a bit of an odd use for it.
You can do all you describe, or just go to the Finder (Command-Tab: 2), Connect to Server (Command-K: 4), navigate to your favorite server, and connect (Enter: 5). There - 5 keystrokes from Terminal to connecting, and no aliases or shell machinations, and it works from any app - since you're command-tabbing to the Finder first. It would be much nicer if Screen Sharing.app would bring up your favorite VNC locations when launched from the Dock, but sadly a trip to the Finder is necessary. You could always put those favorites on the Dock as well, but then you'd lose out on keyboard access.

This doesn't work if your VNC server is on a nonstandard port. I serve multiple VMs from one server, so I have to put each on a different port, and I can't access them this way.
I tried 'open vnc://192.168.1.30:9001' to no avail.

Strange. I use a non-standard port when I'm running vnc over an ssh tunnel and that syntax has always worked fine for me.

I know this won't work in all cases, but for the other computers on my home network, there's the even easier built-in way of doing this.
In the finder, in the sidebar, other computers on the network show up under 'Shared', and it's only two clicks to open a screen sharing session. One on the computer in the sidebar, one on the 'share screen' button that subsequently shows up.
I believe that there was some initial setup for this, but now it's just a matter of a couple clicks.

I just type vnc://blah.tld.com into the safari location bar and it launches screen sharing.

..me too. Even better, you can drag the location from the safari location bar and drop it on your desktop to create a convenient shortcut!

Excellent! TVM for the hint. (Just got a Mac Mini, so was looking for a quicker way to launch VNC/Screen Sharing.)

Yep, and you can save them as bookmarks in Safari. I've done that, then use LaunchBar to open them quickly.

don't forget that you can embed the authentication like this
vnc://username:password@ipaddressordomain
if it's a mac that you are remoting into. Setting them up as a shell alias is one way to do it. Storing them in Safari's bookmarks and the authentication in your keychain is another. Since I mostly work graphically and seldom in terminal, I put all my remote control links in a folder in my bookmarks bar. This has the side effect of also making them available on my iPad, and since I have iTeleport on my iPad the links work from there too.

There is also the built-in Finder capability to create a 'VNC Internet Location' file with an extension of '.vncloc' similar to a 'Web Location' file storing afp, smb or http credentials in a '.webloc' file. This is cool. I just learned it is possible the same way an afp or smb shortcut can be made with credentials embedded:
  • Create the desired connection text in Text Edit or wherever, for example, 'vnc://username:password@ipaddressordomain'.
  • Select the entire text (without quotes) 'vnc://username:password@ipaddressordomain'. This is similar to what I've done for years with afp server connections like this: 'afp://username:password@ipaddressordomain'.
  • Click and drag the text selection
  • Drag it to the desktop or any Finder window and a new file is created
  • The name of the file created will be the same as the selected text followed by the extension, for example, 'vnc://username:[email protected]' (the extension is normally hidden)
  • Change the file name to whatever is desired, for example, 'Mac Mini Screen Sharing.vncloc' (don't change the extension if visible)
  • The contents of the small file are not easily accessible so could be safely copied to other computers or sent as an email attachment to other Mac users, for example a spouse, as an easy shortcut to just double-click to start the screen sharing.
    • Really, don't put the password in the link. You realize that this will allow anyone with internet access to remotely access the machine in question, if they have it. Doesn't the Screen Sharing application have keychain support? If so, I would recommend using that instead.
    And to the other poster, it is extremely easy to view the contents of the file. Just type cat file in the terminal. Actually, there's really no need to examine the file anyway, since it has the password in there, anyone who wants to use it just needs to open it (if they are on a Mac).

    For the more GUI-inclined, try a free utility called Screen Sharing Menulet
    http://www.klieme.com/ScreenSharingMenulet.html
    It sits in the menu bar and automatically shows any Macs on the local subnet with screen sharing enabled. You can also add other computers by IP address. As a Mac administrator, I find it invaluable for quick remote access for troubleshooting.

    I don't remember where I got it from (maybe here on macosxhints?), but here is my favorite solution: just drag the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Screen Sharing to the dock.
    (This folder contains a file with extension .vncloc for each machine that you have accessed for screen sharing)
    Click once to show the machines you've used Screen Sharing with; click a second time to select the one you want and there you go.

    If you want to connect to a machine via an IPv6 address, then you can use: using the IPv6 address, obviously.

    Seriously? 'on OSX'? For one thing, it's 'OS X,' and for another, this is Mac OS X hints, which should imply that anyway.

    This doesn't pertain to the main topic of this hint, but since you mentioned Quicksilver I felt the need to say:
    Quicksilver is dead, long live Quick Search Box: http://code.google.com/p/qsb-mac/

    Really? What am I using then?

    No need to be a jerk.
    As far as I knew, QSB was the successor to QS. Thanks to your snide comment and some searching around on my part, I now know that QS has moved from its long-hosted blacktree location <http://www.blacktree.com/projects/quicksilver.html> and now exists as github project <http://github.com/tiennou/blacktree-alchemy>.

    A bugbear of mine about this site is the use of absolute statements based on personal experience or personal preference. I'm sorry, I thought your comment was based on the latter.

    Vnc For Mac

    <blockquote>just drag the folder ~/Library/Application Support/Screen Sharing to the dock.</blockquote>
    Except ~/Library/Application Support/Screen Sharing does not exist on my Mac OS X 10.5.8. Any idea why?

    Have you used Screen Sharing to connect to another Mac? The folder is created the first time used.

    Thanks Rich,
    sure I use it on a daily basis (hence my desire to improve the abysmal poor user interface).
    I run on 10.5.8 and the application has not created such a folder. The screen sharing app used to remeber a list of visited serves, but at some point (with some action or update) this disappeared. All I have now is Apple+N to start a small dialog for the server I want to connect to.
    I did create such a folder myself and added *.vncloc files with the vnc:// URl in ot but that does not work either.

    Vnc Server For Mac Os X 10.122

    I'm on 10.5.8 and this does not work.
    What works is type vnc://mypc.example.com/ into safari and drag the little icon into a folder in finder. This creates a file named vnc--mypc.example.com.inetloc with some binary content.
    If you like you can drag the folder with such *.inetloc shortcuts to the dock in order to show as a fan or grid.

    Vnc On Mac

    Safari can directly handle vnc:// URIs. Also, you can directly use the Finder (under Go > Connect to server..) to save your vnc:// URIs, where you can optionally store credentials to those vnc servers in your keychain.
