jtightvncviewer1

Command line starter of the java tightvnc viewer

Usage

jtightvncviewer {host | host:display | host::port}

Overview

jtightvncviewer is a wrapper script to start up the Java TightVNC Viewer to do the real work. Depending on the update-alternatives configuration one can invoke this script also as vncviewer or xvncviewer.

When called just with a host name it tries to connect to this host's display 0 / port 5900. To connect to a different display or port append its number to the host name separated by a single colon for a display or by two consecutive colons for a port without any blanks in between.

Examples

jtightvncviewer somehost.org

Connect to display 0 (= port 5900) of host somehost.org.

jtightvncviewer somehost.org:1

Connect to display 1 (= port 5901) of host somehost.org.

jtightvncviewer somehost.org::5902

Connect to port 5902 (= display 2) of host somehost.org.
