Portable MultiVNC

Connecting to a LAN station, and viewing its screen is a simple task that can be carried out using the tools already built into Windows. However, some user cases require peeking into multiple displays at once, from a single screen.

MultiVNC allows you to just that without having to go through complex settings or fluffy documentation. As long as the VNC server is created and the machines are connected to it there is little standing between viewing their desktop.

The application is available as a portable download, which means that no installation is required and that removing it from the system is done by simply deleting its folder.

Immediately after launching it a straightforward interface is shown, allowing you to pick from the available VNC servers (if any). You can also connect to the remote machine by simply providing its IP address and the port.

Tab support ensures that all the connections in MultiVNC are at the ready from a single panel, which makes working with the application a whole lot easier. Management of the connections can be done by saving each of them as bookmarks, also quickly accessible from the main application window.

Apart from providing access to multiple displays from the same screen, MultiVNC supports encrypted connections on Windows and it can connect to Apple Remote Desktop servers.

Its window sharing feature allows the user to send one of the windows to the remote machine. For this function the remote system needs to run a listening viewer.

MultiVNC may not address a scenario that includes the regular user but they can definitely handle it without too much trouble.

Managing the remote displays is easy thanks to the bookmark functionality and the quality of the connection can be improved by tweaking the buffer size.
