The VNC (Virtual Network Client) provides a convenient way to access the visual output
of servers or workstations, that have no graphic output device, or are hard to reach
physically. Input, through a keyboard or a pointing device, as well as the visual
output is transmitted over a TCP/IP network, in order to control the remote host.
The RealVNC page, offers downloads of free client
and server software for different
platforms.

PocketVNC Server Version 1.4.0.0
The PocketVNC server was implemented to offer the functionality of a VNC server running
on a PocketPC device. The project was inspired by the SynCE project, that offers an
open source synchronisation solution between Linux Desktops and WindowsCE clients.
The SynCe project can be found here: SynCE
The PocketVNC
project is no port of the original open source VNC server for Windows, instead
it is a complete new implementation on the PocketPC platform. The Hextile encoding
algorithm used in the original RealVNC Server was changed to offer more performance
on mobile devices. The PocketVNC Server offers following
functionality:
-
Raw Encoding (quite slow according to the network bandwidth)
-
Hextile Encoding (good performance according to the bandwidth and to the processor
time used)
-
Both Encoding styles are offered with 8bit and 16bit pixel depth. Reducing the images to 8bit
pixels offers a really good performance over LAN and WLAN and an acceptable performance over
Bluetooth connections.
-
Filetransfer in combination with UltraVNC VNC clients!
