What is better TightVNC or UltraVNC ?As the subject said I wonder which of the two VNC derivates is the better one?
Is there a comparison page? Peter I use UltraVNC because it more closely mimics both Remote Desktop and PC Anywhere with file transfer
functionality. Plus, UltraVNC has an encryption plug-in if you don't want to use it through a VPN or SSH tunnel over the public internet. TightVNC, or any other flavor of VNC, does not have that AFAIK, ie. encryption functionality...

In addition to Al's comments. UltraVNC file transfer is GUI flexible and easy. Ultra VNC has local Chat Room. UltraVNC newest release has very nice Top Screen Icon Menu Bar. In addition when you work with full screen you do not have to remember commands you point to the top edge of the screen a bar slides down, double click and you are back in Window view. UltraVNC Server can be installed as a Windows Service. With the additional Video Drivers it is Fast.

It's not from the family of VNC but has great features.... and the crack is in Internet... just for full testing ;-) Show quote "Peter Meister" <pmeist***@lycos.com> escribió en el mensaje news:cv37ki$qbf$05$1@news.t-online.com... > As the subject said I wonder which of the two VNC derivates is the better one? > Is there a comparison page? > > Peter > There isn't much out there that states the differences betwen TightVNC
and UltraVNC, but since UltraVNC forked from TightVNC, they share many similarities.
