If you set up a password for your VNC session (and you should!) it will prompt you to enter it now. For the Server Address, type vnc://localhost:5944 where 5944 was the port we forwarded above. MacOS has a VNC Viewer already built into it. Chrome Remote Desktop – Best for business.JollysFastVNC – Secure ARD and VNC client.Best of all, it’s supported by Apple themselves. It’s fast, and it works with every VNC server I’ve tried it with. Screen Sharing, the VNC client that comes pre-installed on OS X, is absolutely the best VNC solution out there. 10 What is VNC Viewer for Mac or Windows?.4 Which is better TigerVNC or TightVNC?.3 Do you need to install VNC server on Mac?.My internet that my Mac Mini is on is not slow - Right now I am downloading the iPhone SDK and getting 600+kbps - that should be fast enough to do remote stuff. This seemed to make it go a little faster but still not usable.Īlso to note. The next thing I did was I went to Display Settings on the mac and switched it from 1920x1080 to 800圆00 and switched colors from Millions to Thousands. 256, 64, 8, 8 Dark Colors, 4 Grey Colors, Black & White seem to get me kicked off by the mac mini. The other option I tried changing was Colors but only "Full Colors" seems to work. There are also options like "Use CopyRect encoding" checked "Use Cache Encoding" (unchecked) "Zip/Tight Compression" (checked with 6) and "Jpeg (Tight) - Quality:" (checked with 6). I wonder if any of the other options (ZRLE, Tight, Zlib(+xor), ZlibHex, RRE, CoRRE, Raw, Ultra, ZYWRLE) are faster Like VNC Viewer has "Format and Encoding" and Hextile is what I have it using. I just downloaded Ultra VNC Viewer and that seems to be a little faster (Windows 7) but it is still too slow to use.Īnother things is when I am trying to connect to my machine most VNC Viewers have options. I even tried it on my WIFI Lan that it was connected to also and although that was the fastest it was still delayed and hard to use XCode.įirst I tried Real VNC (Windows Vista, Windows XP, and Windows 7) and then I tried Mocha VNC (iPhone). The problem is that it is amazingly slow. Then I opened forwarded port 5900 on my router so I could access it externally. I bought a Mac Mini and turned on Screen Sharing and added a password.
