Press ENTER when done and the Screen Sharing app opens. Simply open Safari and enter “vnc://” followed by the IP Address of the VNC Server, for example: “vnc://192.168.1.109”. This is probably the easiest way to open the VNC Client called Screen Sharing.

It’s tucked away pretty good though – not sure why Apple did that. MacOS X, if I’m not mistaken since 10.4, has a VNC Client installed already.

Note : RealVNC is free and has a very suitable VNC Client, but why install more software if you don’t really need to? There are lots of VNC Clients out there, and strangely enough … they charge money for something you already have on your computer. It’s main purpose is to display the “screenshots” of the controlled computer, as send by the VNC Server, and to send mouse moves and keyboard strokes to the VNC Server on the computer that is being controlled. It is the program on the computer that is controlling the other computer. This makes quickly connecting to a specific server easy, even when managing many servers.Screen Sharing for regular VNC clients VNC ClientĪ VNC Client is the otherside of the story. For system administrators, CoRD creates a simpler workflow by allowing you to save server information, then quickly connect to that server by using HotKeys or the server drawer. The clipboard is automatically synchronized between CoRD and the server. Enter full screen mode and feel like you're actually at the computer.

Scale session windows to whatever size fits you-the screen is resized automatically. CoRD allows you to view each session in its own window, or save space with all sessions in one window. Great for working on the office terminal server, administrating servers or any other time you'd like your PC to be a bit closer without leaving your Mac.

Macs interact well with Windows, and with CoRD the experience is a bit smoother. A sincere thanks to everyone who used CoRD over the years, reported bugs, donated, or contributed code - Dorian CoRD: Simple RDP Remote Desktop There's also an excellent free and open source project called FreeRDP that has great protocol support for multiple platforms. Most people will be happy with Microsoft's clients. It's easy to use, fast, and free for anyone to use or modify. CoRD was a Mac OS X remote desktop client for Microsoft Windows computers using the RDP protocol.
