Tech Subreddits. Content Philosophy Content which benefits the community (news, rumors, and discussions) is valued over content which benefits only the individual (technical questions, help buying/selling, rants, etc.). This fundamental difference in audience is why we support two communities,. If you'd like to view their content together, click. This subreddit is not endorsed or sponsored by Apple Inc. I often have to VNC back to my home MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) over a UMTS wireless connection; not ideal in terms of speed, but not bad either. When I VNC back from a Mac client, things work really well.
The screen loads a bit blurry (like a progressive JPEG) and then it sharpens up. From a Windows machine (using RealVNC) I don't get the first 'blurry' stage, it loads pixel-perfect only. That sounds like a good thing, but it means that I get limited feedback and it's all a bit slow.
Seeing the 'blurry' image first is much better. Does this make any sense? Is there a Windows VNC client that can achieve this? Ideally, I don't want to have to install an alternative VNC server as I often need to connect to other Mac machines, too.
Any help would be much appreciated.
The problem is that by default, OS X expects to get a username AND password for authentication, while standard VNC clients just send a password. Connecting from the OS X Finder (/Screen Sharing util) works because that knows how to send both the username and password. If you want to connect from standard clients, you need to set a VNC compatibility password (which can be used without a username) in System Preferences - Sharing - Screen Sharing or Remote Management - Computer Settings - 'VNC viewers may control screen with password:'. Side note: the 'Screen Sharing' and 'Remote Management' services are essentially the same thing - the difference is that Remote Management ALSO enables Apple Remote Desktop features (e.g.
Report generation, file transfer, etc).
