VNC Enterprise Edition 4.5
RealVNC has launched an update to its software for remotely accessing and controlling computers, VNC Enterprise Edition 4.5. Users can view the desktop and control a different computer from within a web browser. The latest version features improved speed and performance, along with support for cross-platform printing and international characters. The company also enhanced the cross-platform chat function.
The new printing options allow users to print documents from a remote machine to the local default printer listed on the VNC Viewer. Improvements to the language functions include better handling of non-English/U.S keyboards and the ability to copy and paste all characters from each language. Users can also transfer content that contains international characters in the file name.
The chat function provides a simple channel of communication between users, with options to start a session from either end. The update also provides an option to launch programs from an icon in the VNC Viewer toolbar, while the server notifies users of incoming connections as a security precaution.
VNC Enterprise Edition 4.5 is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4 or higher, Linux, Solaris, or Windows 2000 through Vista, and can be purchased for $50 per license.
