With TightVNC, users can view the remote desktop in real-time, control the mouse and keyboard, transfer files, and access the clipboard. With TightVNC, 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. Have not yet gotten a chance to look into why this works, but it seems to solve the problem for the time being.TightVNC is a free and open-source remote control software that allows users to access and control desktops and servers from a remote location. One workaround is to click the “Pause” button (double red bar) in the active Viewer before closing the connection. Oftentimes after closing the viewer, the Mac would freeze yet again, requiring a reset.The other options appeared to work, but seemed to cause some minor freeze-ups on the Mac. Set the “Preferred Encoding” to either “Raw” or “ZRLE”.Of course, you will not be able to share the clipboard across the host and client machines, but at least the host machine will continue running properly. Enable “Disable clipboard transfer.” This was a major issue that would cause freezing immediately upon on connect unless enabled.The viewer will prompt for a password, but once connected, will not display the actual desktop unless no users are logged in on the host. To prevent receiving a patterned, gray screen after the login, be sure to logout of your current user on your Mac first. I’m using TightVNC, so these changes may or may not be necessary on other viewers. As I mentioned before, I had some issues connecting from Windows, and had to take a few precautions. You should (in theory) be able to connect to your Mac with any viewer using your machine’s IP address and the port. You should now have a VNC server running on the standard port 5900 of your machine.
