Have you ever found yourself away from home, wishing
you had your desktop machine with you? Have you ever wished you could
show someone, remotely, how to do something instead of talking them
through it over the phone? These things and much more can be done with a
nifty little freeware utility called Virtual Network Computing, or VNC.
What VNC does is this: it enables a
remote user (who knows the password) to take control of your machine via
the internet. They can view files, run programs, delete stuff, etc. --
in other words, they can use your computer exactly as if they were
sitting in front of it, although a bit slower. This might sound a little
frightening, and it is, except that you have a good deal of control
over the situation. You set the password, you can kick them out if they
abuse it, and you have to be online already & have VNC Server
running for anyone to access your machine. In reality, you’ll usually be
setting up sessions specifically, or acting as the remote user
yourself.
Another nifty thing you can do with
VNC is letting someone else watch your screen, but disabling their
control over your computer. This is great for showing your newbie
friends how to do things -- get them logged on, and do it while they
watch. It’s a lot easier than explaining it over the phone. The best
part about this is that they don’t need anything special -- just a
Java-capable web browser.
