hi all.
i have just installed vnc 3.3.3 'vnc-3.3.3r2_x86_linux_2.0.tgz' by
just copying the files:
Xvnc
vncconnect

Hi everyone,
We've discussed VNC plugins here recently, and I seem to recall that
at some rather distant point in the past it was rumoured that the
AT&T developers were working on a plug-in architecture for VNC.
Is that work still in progress? Or is it something that could

The purpose of VNC was never to provide file transfer capabilities. One of
the nice things about VNC is the ability to fit both the server and the
client (if you choose not to use the web browser) onto a single diskette if
necessary.

I can readily understand the needs of the VNC developers to focus on the
'core functionality', especially for an application ported to so many
different platforms. But I think it would be a mistake to dismiss this as
an issue of user ignorance or laziness.

It's ok to take focus on core devel, but adding a plug-in handling will make
easier to combine several very-very good features, what is now in different
packages.
I think so many people will make plugins if this handling is available. Like
far manager, or winamp plugins.
So what about plugins?

I guess we all know the issues here. What we don't have is a good answer.
The VNC team has decided to bound the development process by keeping to the
core functionality, correctly reasoning that things like file transfer,

I think the unsafe part of the ftp is that it uses two different ports and
by default one is outbound and the other is inbound. Port 21 is used for
sending ftp commands and the other port(20 by default) is used for actual
