TightVNC Client Application Download 2.8.59

TightVNC Client Application is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software for Ubuntu OS. With the app, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer.

TightVNC Client Application can be used to perform remote control and administration tasks in Windows, Unix, and mixed network environments. It can be very helpful in distance learning and remote customer support.

It is such an application suite consisting of two interoperable components. The server side is to be installed on the computer that requires aid and the router (if connected through one) should be also configured to allow the computer to be discoverable from the outside through specific ports.

The second component, the client, can be rapidly run from any other PC and connected to the server just by entering the correct IP address and password. You can also run an additional tool such as No-IP DUC in order to make sure you always connect to that computer, in case its Internet connection does not provide it with a static IP address.

With TightVNC, you can

• Cut your expenses and save your time on traveling,
• Help your friends and family to solve problems with their computers remotely,
• Make sure nothing wrong is happening on your computers when you are away.
