You can share the printer on your local machine as the default printer on the remote VNC server which is a very useful feature. VNC Connect allows you to change several aspects of the viewer. You can get more mileage from your Pi using the experimental hardware acceleration mode which allows you to run applications such as Minecraft Pi, and watch videos with the built-in omxplayer, without any issues. You can easily scroll through PDFs and perform regular desktop tasks with VNC Connect. Simply double click on a machine from the VNC Connect window to connect automatically. It can also remember remote access credentials so you don’t have to enter them each time which is a definite plus, especially if you need to remotely manage a handful of machines. The client also allows multiple sessions and can run sessions full-screen and scale the remote display to fit the current window on the client computer. However, these options will only work when connected to a VNC Connect server. During an active connection the client also gives you the option to transfer files to and from the remote server and exchange instant messages. You can access these options during an active connection either by using the hidden menu at the top of the connection window or by pressing the F8 key.īy default, the VNC Connect client also saves screenshots for connections. The General and Options tabs list common parameters while the Expert tab lets experienced campaigners modify the default values of various parameters.
You can then either use the default settings or tweak them from the New Connection window. You’ll have to define a new connection before connecting with the VNC Connect client by manually entering the IP address of your VNC server.
We recommend it for remotely accessing all kinds of graphical work on the Pi, especially if you use Raspbian, as the server software now comes preinstalled. The client performs decently with other servers but works best when paired with its own. If transferring files is imperative to your remote access, then there’s no better option than VNC Connect.
