TightVNC 1.3.8 RC - Free Remote Control Software

tvnc picTightVNC 1.3.8 RC (Windows, Open Source, 1.02MB) [via Filehippo] is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software. With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer.

Recent changes:

  • Win32 server: Fixed major problem with disconnecting clients on screen locking, user logoff and logon, in the service mode.
  • Win32 server: Added support for DFMirage driver direct screen access mode (from DemoForge LLC).
  • Win32 server: Added support for multiple monitors (from DemoForge LLC).
  • Win32 server: Improved layout and functionality of the Properties dialog.
  • Win32 server: More accurate password handling - now the server code tries to distinguish between "empty" and "unset" passwords better.
  • Win32 server: New -shareall, -shareprimary and -sharearea command-line options, working similarly to the -sharewindow option.
  • Win32 server: Fixed problems with restoring desktop wallpaper.
  • Win32 viewer: Fixed bug with not enabling JPEG compression by default.
  • Win32 viewer: Fixed bug with not setting proper size of the viewer window.
