If you have the VNC viewer installed on your
machine, it's possible to make it automatically launch and connect to
your session at LITBIO.
You can just select the link that says "Launch local client" and the
native viewer will start up and automatically log into your running
session. To make this work, you need the following steps:
Windows
Once you've installed the vnc viewer under windows, all you need to do
is associate the VNC viewer with the special configuration file we send
back. The procedure varies slightly between different browsers (and
versions), but basically you need the following information for
Netscape or Internet Explorer:
| File Extension | vnc
|
| Mime Type | VncViewer/Config
|
| Application to Use | "...\vncviewer.exe" -config "%1"
|
where "..." is the directory path to wherever you installed VNC, for
example you would enter "C:\Program Files\VNC\vncviewer.exe".
As an example, in Netscape 4.7 it goes like this. Select Edit ->
Preferences from the toolbar. Click the little + next to "Navigator" to
get at the sub menus. Click on Applications, then add a New type. You
get a box to fill in 4 entries.
| Description of type
| VNC client
|
| File extension
| vnc
|
| MIME Type
| VncViewer/Config
|
| Application to use
| "C:\Program Files\VNC\vncviewer.exe" -config "%1"
|
Other Platforms
On other platforms (Mac, Linux), you will need a
slightly modified vnc client that understands the same configuration
files that the Windows viewer uses. You'll need the Workspot client.
