ssvnc - a GUI wrapper for SSL and SSH VNC connections.
SYNOPSIS
ssvnc
ssvnc [host][:display]
ssvnc [saved-profile-name]
ssvnc [options] [host-or-profile]
ssvnc -cmd [ssvnc_cmd-args]
ssvnc -viewer [viewer-args]
ssvnc --help
DESCRIPTION
ssvnc is a tcl/tk gui wrapper that runs on Unix, MacOSX, and Windows.
It sets up an SSL or SSH tunnel to the remote VNC Server and then
launches the VNC viewer (either the one provided or another one that
you have specified) to use that encrypted tunnel to connect to the VNC
Server. The use of Proxies and Gateways to make the connections is
implemented.
OPTIONS
-help, -h Print this help.
--help Starts up the GUI as though the 'Help' button was pressed to
show the main Help panel.
-cmd [ssvnc_cmd-args]
Launch the ssvnc_cmd utility command directly (no GUI) with the
given arguments (for use when ssvnc_cmd is not in one's PATH.)
If neither ssvnc_cmd nor ssvncviewer is in PATH, one can launch
the viewer directly via: ssvnc -cmd -viewer [viewer-args] See
the next option -viewer for an alias.
-viewer [viewer-args]
Shorthand for ssvnc -cmd -viewer [viewer-args].
-profiles
List the saved SSVNC profiles you have created. A profile is a
destination host with specific parameter settings.
-list Same as -profiles
-ssh Start in "SSH Only Mode". No SSL aspects are shown. Same as
running the command sshvnc
-ts Start in "Terminal Services Mode". This is like "SSH Only
Mode", but simpler and assumes x11vnc is available on the remote
side to start and manage X and VNC sessions. Same as running
the command tsvnc
-tso Same as -ts "Terminal Services Mode", however never let the user
leave this mode (no button to switch modes is provided.) Same
as SSVNC_TS_ALWAYS=1.
-ssl Force the full GUI Mode: both SSL and SSH. This is the default.
Same as -ss.
-nv Toggle the "Verify All Certs" button to be off at startup.
-nvb Never show the "Verify All Certs" button. Same as SSVNC_NO_VER-
IFY_ALL_BUTTON=1.
-bigger
Make the Profile Selection Dialog window bigger. Same as
SSVNC_BIGGER_DIALOG=1.
-noenc Start off in a mode where a 'No Encryption' check button is
present. You can toggle the mode with Ctrl-E. Same as
SSVNC_DISABLE_ENCRYPTION_BUTTON=1. Or noenc=1 in ~/.ssvncrc.
Selecting no encryption is the same as the vnc:// and Vnc://
prefixes described below. The -noenc mode is now the default,
use -enc or noenc=0 for the opposite behavior.
-killstunnel
On Windows, automatically terminate the STUNNEL process when the
viewer exits instead of prompting you (same as killstunnel=1 in
ssvnc_rc or toggle in Options menu)
-nokillstunnel
On Windows, disable -killstunnel mode. Same as killstunnel=0 in
ssvnc_rc or toggle in Options menu. Note that -killstunnel mode
is now the default.
-mycert /path/to/mycert.pem
Set the default "MyCert" to be /path/to/mycert.pem. Same as
-cert. If the file does not exist, ~/.vnc/certs is prefixed and
tried. You can also set mycert=/path/to/mycert.pem in ~/.ssvncrc
-cacert /path/to/cacert.crt
Set the default "ServerCert" to be /path/to/cacert.crt. Same as
-ca. If the file does not exist, ~/.vnc/certs is prefixed and
tried. You can also set cacert=/path/to/cacert.crt in ~/.ssvncrc
-crl /path/to/mycrl.pem
Set the default Certificate Revocation List to be
/path/to/mycrl.pem. If the file does not exist, ~/.vnc/certs is
prefixed and tried. You can also set crl=/path/to/mycrl.pem in
~/.ssvncrc.
