Enhanced TightVNC Viewer 1.0.22 (Default branch)

The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package is part ofthe x11vnc VNC server project. It provides anative VNC viewer that takes advantage of newfeatures in x11vnc, e.g. cursor alpha blending andautomatic SSL tunnelling. Some features apply toany VNC server, e.g. automatic SSH tunnelling.Another goal is to provide a package thatconveniently bundles everything needed for theuser to have the enhanced viewer running quickly.This includes pre-built binaries of the viewer andutility programs for Windows and many Unixvariants, and a GUI to configure and launch theviewer. The short name for this project is "ssvnc", forSSL/SSH VNC viewer.License: GNU General Public License (GPL)Changes:
SSVNC's SSL encryption is extended to support the VeNCrypt and TLS security type extensions to VNC for both forward and reverse connections. Anonymous Diffie-Hellman encryption is now available for all SSL/TLS modes. SSL Certificate Revocation Lists are supported. CUPS print tunneling is greatly improved, and the default settings should work for most setups. The Windows helper programs are updated to their most recent versions. On Unix, stunnel is updated to the latest version.

SYNOPSIS

       virt-viewer [OPTIONS] DOMAIN-NAME|ID|UUID

DESCRIPTION

       virt-viewer is a minimal tool for displaying the graphical console of a virtual machine. The console is accessed using the VNC protocol.
       The guest can be referred to based on its name, ID, or UUID. If the guest is not already running, then the viewer can be told to wait until
       is starts before attempting to connect to the console The viewer can connect to remote hosts to lookup the console information and then
       also connect to the remote console using the same network transport.

OPTIONS

       The following options are accepted when running "virt-viewer":

       -h, --help
	   Display command line help summary

       -V, --version
	   Display program version number

       -v, --verbose
	   Display information about the connection

       -c URI, --connect=URI
	   Specify the hypervisor connection URI

       -w, --wait
	   Wait for the domain to start up before attempting to connect to the console

       -w, --reconnect
	   Automatically reconnect to the domain if it shuts down and restarts

       -d, --direct
	   Do not attempt to tunnel the console over SSH, even if the main connection URI used SSH.

EXAMPLES

       To connect to the guest called 'demo' running under Xen

	  virt-viewer demo

       To connect to the guest with ID 7 running under QEMU

	  virt-viewer --connect qemu:///system 7

       To wait for the guest with UUID 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521 to startup and then connect, also reconnecting upon restart of VM

	  virt-viewer --reconnect --wait 66ab33c0-6919-a3f7-e659-16c82d248521

       To connect to a remote console using TLS

	  virt-viewer --connect xen://example.org/ demo

       To connect to a remote host using SSH, lookup the guest config and then make a direct non-tunnelled connection of the console
