Why does everyone make a pocketpc vnc client and not a vnc server?

Ok...I run linux and I would like to be able to remote control my pocketpc similar to how the my mobiler software allows people running windows using activesync. Usually this would not be a problem because vnc is free and runs on everything. I've found 15 different free vnc CLIENTS for the pocketpc but the only servers I've found is a pay one and one that is so old I think it's for ce 2002.
What am I missing?

What you're missing: google
http://www.pocketvnc.com/projects/pocketvnc/index.php 10€, not a bad price for a product some spent time making
Freeware
http://www.pocketpccity.com/software/pocketpc/pocketVncServ-2004-12-29-ce-pocketpc.html#download

You listed the two I mentioned..good job. Pocketvncserv would not connect with my vncviewer..hence my post.

did you ever find a solution to this?

Try this?
Ever try a nifty little application called "Mobiler"? It displays your wizard's screen on your PC. Full control, etc. Basically does what a VNC server would, and more.

I use a program called SOTI Pocket Controller, but it only works in windows, I need a way to control my Pocket PCs from Linux...

I've tried the pocketvncsvr package, and the server seems to work - but I too cannot connect to the server from my client.
I've tried using ultra, tight and real-vnc specified raw encoding and any number of colour combinations without luck.
The mobiler package worked well enough - but windows only, and my TP2 seems to kill wifi when I use activesync; so its no good for my purpose.
Can anyone share their connection setting and client version that is known to work?
cheers,
Bjorn

My Mobiler works in Linux under wine over wifi with "Connect IP"
Dunno about a way over USB.

PocketVNC: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketvnc/. Both server and client included. Haven't tried it though so I don't know if it works.

I might have tried that one. I have tried a few that didn't work. I can't remember if that's one of them...

Remote Desktop Mobile /console?

With the Windows version of Remote Desktop you can use the CLI switch '/console' to take control of the current console session of the server you are Remote Desktop'ing into as long as its 2003 Server or later. Is this possible with the Remote Desktop Mobile client?
With the Windows version you just start it with 'Start, Run, mstsc.exe /console' and this attempts to connect to the current console session.
Cheers

to my knowledge, not possible - at least I haven't managed to do it . Also see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=288506
note that if you don't strictly need RDP, some other, proprietary clients do offer console-like features - also see the above article for more info

This is an old topic, but one of the first Google search results for 'Remote Desktop Mobile connect to console'. I've been fiddling with this for the past few days and wanted to share my experience. I say experience because I haven't reallydone anything to achieve a /console connection with RDP mobile.
I'm running WinMo 6.5 Pro and using the standard RDP client it ships with. I am connecting to my home PC, which is running Win7x64 Ultimate. If I choose to log in as a currently logged in user and provide the proper credentials, I am connected to the existing session without any hassle.
I don't know if this is a new feature of terminal services/remote desktop on Win7, or a designed advantage of the mobile RDP client.
If you need to connect to a server console session specifically, take a look at this link on how to configure your server in advance to facilitate this:
EDIT: I'd post a link, but apparently my account is too new to do so. Oh well.

WM6 Remote Desktop Server over internet?

I'm looking for a remote desktop program that will allow remote login to a wm6 phone ie running a remote desktop server on the phone (not client). Basically I have 2 - wm 6 phones and I'd like to be be able to control one of them remotely either via my main phone or pc over the internet. I'll keep searching, but if anyone can point me in the right direction, that would be appreciated. I have read multiple articales about a Real VNC solution but their website yields nothing.
Thanks

This flavour of RealVNC works fine for me...

what viewer do i need for this vnc server?

Yes what client do you use with that? Also how has it been working for you? Reliable, fast etc? Looks like very limited support and documentation for that project. I actually didn't realize the CE software can run on WM.

Ok so I figured it out (I feel kinda dumb asking what client to use). So I downloaded the real vnc viewer and got it working. The only thing I'd really like to do now is get some sort of dyndns type service going on the phone as restarting it changes the ip everytime.

[Q] Remote Desktop Client on WP7?

Hi,
Just started using a HTC Trophy but I cannot for the life of me find an RDP client in the marketplace or on the phone.
Surely its there somewhere?
Any help would be greatly appreciated

"PC Connector" seems to do this.
There will be more as apps finish going through the curation process.

That is what i worry, i cannot find remote desktop on the telco set...
so confirm the PC Connector is going to work like remote desktop???
PC Connector is a pay software? come with the box? or market place DL?

It will be hard to find one of these because Microsoft doesn't allow full networking access. Unless someone writes a remote desktop app that runs over web services (weird but probably possible), or Microsoft opens low-level APIs, then there won't be one. In either case it might take time.

It's in the Marketplace... $4.99, but has a free trial.

I installed the free trial but it seems RDP is not one of its features.

Just found this - choung . net / charlie (cant post urls yet)[/url] - which kinda offers remote apps over http, works well and will do for the mean time.
Hopefully see some official RDP support soon...

so this is from MS? or 3rd party? sorry, i don't have the phone right now so i cannot try.
but looks like it is for file download, Remote Desktop Client?

Live Mesh
Someone who has a windows phone (not me) should look into Windows Live Mesh. On the desktop, it allows remote connections to a computer that has it installed. On the website for Live Mesh, there's a picture of a little phone. Of course, it might be referring to just syncing files, but perhaps doing a remote desktop via Live Mesh on the phone is going to be possible?

I certainly hope that someone develops this; however I spoke with one of the develpers on the team at Microsoft and he confirmed that Microsoft has no plans to ship a RDP client.

Without socket support it's going to be a pain. You would have to pass everything through a http proxy. The Remote Desktop app on the market place does something like that with VNC. Hopefully the next WP7 update will bring official socket support.

Sorry...no. You can use the remote desktop function to get to PCs but not the phone.

Can someone clear this up, are we getting a RDC remote destop connection app for WP7 ???

No, it is currently not possible to create an App for Remote Desktop Connections in Windows Phone 7 as one would need the ability to access the Socket-APIs.
This might become available in future versions of the development tools.
What is a possible is to have a server somewhere that translates from the HTTP-Requests of the Phone to the RDP protocol acting as an intermediary. As far as I know there currently is no App that does this.
A homebrew software using a jailbroken phone should be possible as they have access to socket-communication.

just search remote desktop in marketplace, then you will find tada, a remote desktop client.
and its called *suprising* remote desktop. how hard can it be
I have it up and running, only it's a trial. software costs 15pounds

Thats a VNC client, not a remote desktop (RDP) client.

Can't you just use a web based remote desktop client using explorer on the phone? Like free version of logmein.com or paid app gotomypc.com
I haven't tried it yet but I am sure it works might be a pain to maneuver around but I am sure there is a version somewhere that fits a smart phone screen size...
At least it's something to use until the second update in February rumored to release socket support maybe don't quote me on it.

the fastmarket remote desktop.
The problem: I use Real VNC from server side with password encryption - always on.
This app does not offer any encryption. Hope this will change.
If you are running non-free version of RealVNC, please make sure encryption is turned off.

I asked on Microsoft's social site for Live Mesh and they said they (paraphrasing a quote) "Would consider looking into possibly maybe supporting Windows Phone 7 in the future". Translation "Dude, youre a genius! Lemme check."
Doesn't sound like it's on the horizon.

Logmein free and logmeinrescue do not work as they require activeX controls or something (sorry I'm not a dev so that may not be the correct term...Im a XDA troll.) I have tried...
Can't wait for Sync/Mesh but I seem to have jettisoned RDP for logemin services and that would be awesome to have working on the phone.

Direct Wi Fi Connection between Android and PC?

Hi guys! After searching for months on google I decided to ask it to pro developer of this awesome forum. Is it possible to have a Direct Wi Fi Connection between my Android device (Lg L5 e610) and my PC (Win7, Ubuntu 13.04, Mac OSx Snow Leopard)? Is there any tool or program to do it? Or at least a developement project (I like to be a tester)? I found some solutions for my question but they need to a router to work :crying: and i haven't it
Sorry for my very bad english and applauses to this awesome community!

Not exactly what you are looking for but could work

I search for something that could use the direct wi fi technology between PC and android without router or internet

Yes there be plenty of ways. If you want commanding access thru the command line and you're running root, then try wireless Android debugging bridge (usually found under developer settings I think) or download an ssh server app from the market place (some don't require root and you can find a good list of apps to test herehttp://android.stackexchange.com/questions/9905/is-there-some-ssh-server-for-android from Android stack exchange) further more if you are running root and you want the screen and all the GUI there are apps that let you do this too such as Droid vnc serverhttp://www.google.com/url?q=https:/...dycANA&usg=AFQjCNGQZqmOFJI8BJfOYyjJ9Gi1sjm_Rg
One weird word of warning about some of these; if you're on a nice network service provider, then some of the above apps work over 3G or 4G too. sooooo set a good password and don't forget to turn it off when you're done with it
So that's something for android what about the other end of the connection? The client side of things
On my laptop I've access to Vista and Ubuntu 12.04
For Vista I use Putty to connect via ssh and it works fine over wifi. I have yet to figure the GUI side for Windows but I've been working on it.
For Ubuntu I use remia to view the GUI of linux running on Android, works fine but have yet to test droid VNC server for the android GUI. And sshing in through command line wasn't a problem over wifi.
For more info on the android linux to pc connection see section 7 in the bellow links to the guide I maintain for such things.
Edit- I see that the formatting using mobile XDA app still leaves me wanting better functions, I'll see about fixing it when on a PC. In the meantime try this app
[APP][2.1+] SSH Server - SFTP, SCP, multiple users, per user public key auth, no root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1896428
Looks like it'll have some good options on connections and such

Well I've been able to run server and client services on either side of the following setup;
1 turn wifi tethering on one device (I'll call this device Wabafet)
2 connect to Wabafet with another device (I'll call this device Q)
3 run what's my IP searches for Q and for Wabafet
4 start server service on Q and client services on Wabafet
5 connect to server on Q with Wabafet and enjoy
Note; this set up keeps Q from being seen over the rest of the net, and some kind of port forwarding is needed to make it viable outside of the local wifi network
Note 2; if you connect a third device to Wabafet as a client you can still access the server on Q
Note 3; if you run a server on Wabafet and on Q then both can also run client services too and connect to one another
Note 4; if you've got a wireless router then you can skip the part about wifi tethering and instead connect Wabafet and Q to the router instead, however, this may require port forwarding to be set up on your specific router.
As far as wifi to wifi without a router or hot spot... I think setting a static IP in your wifi settings on Wabafet and on Q and then turning on but not connecting to a router should allow the devices to scan and connect to one another... But this will require some kind of client server set up again and will require that the apps being used don't require an active network to start. Droid vnc is a good example of this and has been reported to work over bluetooth too and even when the device is in airplane mode when the app starts.

likely you can use the same apps and set up on the device side of the guide and then modify the pc side of the guide to suit your needs, such as mac, vista and such. For windows I would suggest putty; its very friendly and there are many good guides for how to use putty as a client on the web, but let me know if you need help with that too oh and hit the thanks or something if this is at all helpful or let me know how better to help.

WiFI Direct is supported out of the box for Win8 as well as JellyBean. However, they way they are supported, even thought you can "pair/connect" over WiFi Direct, you need an application to take advance of this "pipe". As far as I'm aware there are currently no apps that can directly connect a Win8 device and an Android device over WiFi Direct to share a file.
Coincidentally, I'm working on an app that at least can do so with Android. Based on the OP's post, he seems to be describing AirDrop. I think what I'm doing is "better", but users will tell =) I am putting it out on limited Private Beta soon, so if you're curious to what all the buzz/fuss is about, go to www.get-drop.com.
