OSX comes with remote desktop, it's in System preferences, sharing .., remote desktop (I think). I don't have osx available to get the exact words.
It's just VNC.
It also has an SSH server in the same section so you can tunnel through securely.
- roadnottaken 16y agoWow, thanks. I can't believe I didn't know that. I've only had a Mac for a few months.... Thanks!!!
- roadnottaken 16y agoFWIW, after trying VNC on OSX (via Linux and Win7) I have to give Microsoft credit for their RDP implementation. It kick's VNC's ass for speed and usability -- no contest. Still, it's nice to know how to do this on Macs.
- konad 16y agoThe VNC implementation on OSX is particularly poor. It crashes and I have to manually restart it. On Linux the VNC is an X client so one can have multiple instances running each exposing with their own graphical shell. Does Windows RDP do that ? (I don't know). TightVNC works the best with low speed networks, it uses JPEG encoding too. BTW. is is also against the Windows EULA to use VNC server on it !
