Which app is this? I’ve checked the box in sharing for screen sharing and it’s just using vnc. Is there a different one hidden somewhere?

- znpy 4y agoMaybe they have some custom protocol extensions that only work between mac os and mac os?
- sys_64738 4y ago/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Screen\ Sharing.app
- geerlingguy 4y agoThe easiest way to see it is to browse to another Mac on the Network in Finder and if it has "Screen Sharing" enabled, you should see a "Share Screen..." button in the finder window.
- sys_64738 4y agoI keep Screen Sharing App in my dock at right click for prior connections from the popup list.
- m463 4y agoYou can use screen sharing to non-apple devices using the VNC protocol, but between macs it does something different. I use it over ssh myself. for example, if I have a machine call rem: Host rem Hostname 10.1.2.3 User foo IdentitiesOnly yes IdentityFile ~/ssh/id_rem # rem screen shares on port 5900 locally # this forwards rem:5900 to this machine:5903 LocalForward 5903 localhost:5900 then I do in one window (which you leave open): ssh rem then launch /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Screen\ Sharing.app choose Connection -> New and enter: localhost:5903 when you log in using username/password and you will get a nice remote window on your desktop The window has lots of nice features. You can drag files from your local desktop and drop them on the remote desktop and they are copied over. cmd-tab in a screen sharing window works on the remote machine, but move it out of the window and it works on the local machine. You can copy/paste between apps on the local machine and apps on the remote machine, including rich text stuff. There is probably lots more I don't remember or haven't discovered.
