Product Description:

AIM to become the best VNC client on the Mac. BACKGROUND When I started ScreenRecycler I thought that there are enough VNC clients out there to support it. When the program started to get useful I realized that the VNC clients available on the Mac were pretty slow and people were complaining about the speed of ScreenRecycler. I was using VNCThing at the time which proved to be acceptable on PPC Macs but does not run on Intel Macs. Without a proper viewer people can't access ScreenRecycler in a way I imagined. So I started programming JollysFastVNC to enable people using ScreenRecycler. As I got a few mails about the VNC capabilities of JollysFastVNC I decided to enhance the program to be a fully functional VNC client. It's still in the early stages of development, even though somewhat usable and fast as you can see here.

What's new in this version:

  • fixed ipv6 local link address parsing - now addresses like :fe80::20a:95ff:fea7:34c0%en0 work.
  • fixed loosing of edit cursor when bonjour hosts show up /vanish.
  • internal improvements.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

I'm so happy I at last found an application that handles non-US keyboards correctly. I connected to my daughters machine and was able to keyboard text using French keyboard and even using my home-made polytonic Greek keyboard. It worked seamlessly. Previously I was using Chicken of the VNC and when I typed an A on my French AZERTY keyboard a Q came out on the distant machine, even although I had French keyboards activated on both machines. Thank you so much!!!

Chers amis francophones vos problèmes sont terminés. Désormais vous pouvez utiliser JollysFastVNC et saisir vos textes sans problème sur la machine distante. Une merveille !

Φίλοι Ἕλληνες καὶ Ἑλληνόφωνοι, τὰ προβλήματά μας τελειώσανε: χάρι σὲ αὐτὸ τὸ ἐργαλεῖο μποροῦμε νὰ χρησιμοποιήσουμε ὁποιοδήποτε πληκτρολόγιο στὴν ἀπομακρυσμένη μηχανή. Εἶναι θαῦμα!

I just downloaded this application for the first time and am unable to view a remote vnc server. It goes through the connecting process, reaches connected, and then the status text is blank and no window appears. I'm trying to connect to an Adderlink KVM over IP device which uses the VNC protocol. I was able to successfully connect to a Mac running a VNC server.

Wonderful app, but I have a problem. I connected to my winblows machine once and then disconnected, but now I can't connect again. I'm sure I'm just doing something wrong.

When I press the connect button it says it's connected but I don't get a windows for the machine's display. Any help?
