Hi Ok so I understand the uses of this feature, as a newbie, I have figured that in default viewer mode it is the settings (Options > Inputs) that sets the limits of a viewers ability to control the remote system, so where are the parameters that need to be set by the initiator of a session that allow the viewer to "Only VIEW" and not have input control of the server for educational purposes. Also is this option available if the viewer is java browser client? Thanks, Jim.

The client/viewer listens for an incoming connection from the server. On the server, there's an 'add new client' (for Windows, YMMV) option...that's what it does. D) There are three commonly-useful situations for this feature: - If the server is behind a firewall, the viewer may not be able to initiate a connection to it directly. Sending a message by some other means, that triggers the server to initiate the connection instead, is a good workaround. - In a classroom or other presentation situation, it's not a good idea to have to hand out passwords to the server, and rely on each viewer to have "shared" and "view only" set. Making the reverse connection can eliminate each of these problems. - In a tech-support situation, the server may not be running all the time due to privacy concerns, and obtaining the correct IP address and password from an "ordinary user" can be problematic. Setting up a shortcut to make a reverse-connection to the tech-support viewer eliminates a lot of frustration. -- _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
