WebVNC - Remote Desktop / VNC on your iPhone

All > Tech > Software > WebVNC - Remote Desktop / VNC on your iPhone by natetrue
The idea seems simple enough. I want to be able to use my PC from the comfort and safety of my iPhone. I got to thinking about it, and it seemed that modifying VNC was the best option. It already has the remote framebuffer thing down pat and I just had to write a web interface for it so the iPhone could connect up.

I decided on TightVNC as my starting point. There was already a built-in HTTP server that I modified heavily. Right now it's Windows only because that's all I have to develop on, but I didn't use Windows-specific functions so porting should be trivial. (Update: now it does use Windows-specific functions for window choosing. Sorry!)

To use:
- Download the Binaries from my website (Developers: source, patch)
- Extract all files into some folder and run WinVNC.exe
- It will ask you to set a default password. CAUTION: At the moment the web client sends your password in plaintext. Use caution when connecting over open Wi-fi access points.
- Note your computer's IP address, and type it into the iPhone Safari address bar, appending :5800, like http://192.168.10.13:5800/
- Enter the password in the password box, and hit Log In.
- A list of windows will show up. Choose one or use Full Desktop to show it all.

Use the iPhone's excellent zooming and panning capabilities to move around your desktop. To perform an action such as clicking or typing, tap the screen where you want to do it, and a menu will show up, along with a crosshair for accuracy.

Options are for the most part self-explanatory.

Supported actions:
- Clicks: Left, right, middle, double
- Scrolling: Mouse wheel up and down
- Dragging and dropping (click Drag to hold mouse button down, click Drop to release)
- Text entry

To enter text, use the Text Input button. VNC will click where the crosshair is centered, then create a text box for you to enter text.
Click the blue "Done" button to type your text onto your PC. Press the X button below the input box to close it.

How it works

WebVNC is a modification of the VNC server. Where before the HTTP server in VNC would just serve a Java applet, now it serves an AJAX application that downloads the screen as a set of JPEG images. The application then checks back with the server to see which ones have changed, and reloads them. Input is just another message to the server.

The window list is done with Windows-specific functions, enumerating top-level windows and returning a list of their titles and positions. When you click one the VNC server activates the window and the AJAX app limits its window size to just the one window.

If you have any questions, please join cre.ations.net and post a comment below. I look forward to your feedback!

This does not work for me, I get an error saying, "This application failed to start because MSVCR71D.dll was not found. Reinstalling the applicaion may fix the problem." I've tried it on Vista & XP

Posted by ahhyeah 43 weeks ago ( 09-Jul-2007 07:27:49 )

I downloaded the file here http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?msvcr71d

Ok, I got it to work, now how do I get TightVNC to to run as a service like you can with the original version? Thanks

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 09-Jul-2007 12:01:46 )

Something about how I did the interface makes it not work as a service. I'm not sure what and my ability to debug services is not so great, so without input from the actual VNC guys I'm not sure I'll be able to enable service support.

I have a problem when i try to connect using my iphone it's can find the address
but when i type the address using my home computer it works
i desactivated my firewall but it didn't change anything
can you help me please

ps : i have a router

thanks

Posted by midiwall 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 11:01:39 )

Nate, what version of VisStud did you use to build this... it's not building "right out of the box" for me using VisStud 2005. (the errors are basically just VisStud complaining about depreciated functions, which is easy to get around)

Oop, spoke too soon... actually, it looks like your archive is missing "rfbproto.h".

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 11:19:34 )

diadjika, you need to configure your router to forward port 5800 from the Internet to your computer. A great tutorial is here: Lifehacker Firewall Tutorial. It says VNC is port 5900 but you want to use 5800 instead.

midiwall, I built it on Visual C++ 2003 - the rfbproto.h thing is weird because I didn't think I referenced it from anywhere. Might be in the TightVNC code, but I think rfbproto.h is a standard header file.

Posted by midiwall 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 11:24:19 )

cool.. thanks Nate. I'll dig into this and see what the service issue is. I'm an old service hack from way back. :)

Thanks midiwall.

Someone was complaining on the Digg story about crashes in Vista. I don't have Vista so I can't really look into it, though.

Posted by ksampler 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:24:13 )

Awesome work. There is a MUCH easier way to Remote Control a desktop......LogMeIn (FREE)! After you connect to a desktop, just click Preferences, and change the Default Remote Control to HTML.....voila! Fast, easy, secure connection...even works over EDGE. I will post a screenshot shortly.

Posted by midiwall 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:49:35 )

@ksampler: There is a MUCH easier way to Remote Control a desktop......LogMeIn (FREE)!

Hmmm, well that certainly makes my task easier! :)

I have a question... The LogMeIn.com site itself is pretty short on details around the difference between the Free and the Pro ($12.95/month) version. The cNet and PCMag reviews seem to say that the free version only gives you _control_ of the remote PC, and excludes file transfer/printing and sharing:

cNet:
http://reviews.cnet.com/e-mail/logmein/4505-3536_7-31394067.html

PCMag:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1683985,00.asp

Dunno how much of an issue that'd be in the scope that we're talking about here though.

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 11-Jul-2007 15:57:44 )

I'll definitely try that out - does LogMeIn have individual window access like WebVNC does?

I do prefer open-source software anyhow, since when I want a new feature, I can just code it up.

I have been able to get the program running on my computer and am able to connect to it just fine. The application list comes up but when I select something it pulls up a blank screen with no images. It might be an issue since I am using Windows Vista. Any ideas?

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:02:39 )

Dang, I thought it would be compatible with Vista at least. I suppose it's kind of pathetic to have a program only support Windows XP. If I had Vista I'd try and figure out what was wrong but for me it's the same situation as with MacOS - I simply can't develop for it because I don't have it.

Sucks to be me!

I get a C++ error when I run it on a Windows Server 2003 box - I had to download the MSVCR DLL from the link in the thread and ran the installer. Still, when I ran from iPhone, I got the "lego" piece on Safari and when I went to the server, the server had thrown a C++ error for something with an "A" Not Assembly but something like that - I had the error copied, but had to register on this board and all those steps lost the message.

I hope you can get that issue fixedbecause this looks way better than LogMeIn

Posted by amichalo 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:40:02 )

Just to clarify, the issue is on the SERVER side...the C++ error is thrown there. On the iPhone I just get the little safari "lego" piece where the image of the server desktop should be - as if it is waiting on a java applet or somethign to load (yes, iPhone does not have Java).

Posted by asktheadmin 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 09:46:29 )

I had no problem running it on a xp machine 2003 has a lot more security in place. Have you set security or is set as it was by default?

Hi Aaron,

I would suggest trying it again and posting the actual message. It's hard to diagnose without it.

Posted by jcavazos 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 12:31:42 )

I downloaded the binaries and downloaded the missing .dll and it installed correctly. I was able to log into my server, but nothing shows up, it's just gray. I am not able to see my desktop. If anyone could shed some light on this issue, it would be much appreciated :-).

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 12:57:28 )

J, I've had this problem when trying to install VNC over Terminal Services. Something about it needs it to be run directly from the monitor / console.

Posted by jcavazos 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 13:00:39 )

Do you have a workaround for this or point me in the right direction?

J

Posted by asktheadmin 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 13:02:07 )

were you logged in remotely during the install or were you in front of your terminal?

This comment was edited at 2007-07-22 20:23:37


Posted by jcavazos 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:00:54 )

I was logged in remotely during the install.

J

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:08:06 )

Yeah, that doesn't work.

Posted by jcavazos 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:12:26 )

Heh, heh, thanks....why doesn't it work :-)? Do I need to install while logged in, in front of my terminal? Thanks for all the help guys!

J

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:16:23 )

I think it has to do with the fact that Remote Desktop destroys the "monitor" object created for the terminal session when it ends, thus giving VNC nothing to grab pixels from. You can't mix Remote Desktop and VNC for some reason.

Posted by jcavazos 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:31:58 )

Thanks for all your help! I think you have to be logged in for VNC to work, right? I guess I could run VNC at startup?

J

Posted by natetrue 43 weeks ago ( 12-Jul-2007 15:36:51 )

Yeah, WebVNC would work best in the Startup folder for your user profile.

Posted by buster 42 weeks ago ( 14-Jul-2007 17:21:54 )

is it possible to have the music that's playing on your desktop to also play on your iphone?

Posted by natetrue 42 weeks ago ( 14-Jul-2007 19:01:25 )

From what I've learned, yes, it is possible (say, connecting your iPhone to something like a Shoutcast streaming server) but the Quicktime audio player would 'take over' Safari entirely, so remote control wouldn't be an option, unless you used e-mail or SMS as a control mechanism.

Either way you wouldn't be able to use WebVNC for it.

Posted by amichalo 42 weeks ago ( 16-Jul-2007 06:46:52 )

BIG ALL CAPS NOTE: Save yourself a lot of frustration with the "gray screen" and be sure to install the server side software fron a local console. INSTALLING FROM A REMOTE DESKTOP CONSOLE WILL RESULT IN "GRAY SCREEN"!!!

Posted by mike 41 weeks ago ( 21-Jul-2007 12:02:43 )

I keep getting a C++ Debug library error. I downloaded the binaries. Extracted the files and ran winvnc.exe. Got the missing dll error. Downloaded the file from location posted by ahhyeah. Ran the exe again. Connected to pc via iphone. Got very excited.....loving the app....still loving the app.....C++ Debug library error.

Debug Assertion Failed!
Program: WinVNC.exe
File: vncdesktop.cpp
Line 862
Expression: EqualRect(&rd, &m_bmrect)

My options are then Abort;Retry;Ignore.

Any suggestions? This is repeated over and over. Each time I've ran the vnc the error eventually comes up.

Posted by asktheadmin 41 weeks ago ( 21-Jul-2007 12:22:52 )

@Mike... AskTheAdmin to the resuce.... I bet you ran the install remotely. Didja? If you did that is why you are having those issues you can not overwrite certain files while being remote desktoped in. I believe t has been mention a bunch of tims.

no. I ran the install sitting at the pc.

Posted by asmitty 41 weeks ago ( 22-Jul-2007 20:06:23 )

Hi, I got it installed and running, and I am able to load the program (both in my iphone and in my pc web browser) but in both instances the remote screen loads a)very distorted, and b) in 4 colors only, purple, green, white, and black (here is a screenshot http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4500/screenshotyf2.jpg) .

Are there any settings I should be changing to fix this?

Thanks, and thanks for making this program. I'm excited to get it working, looks great.

Try setting your display to 32-bit color. WebVNC makes some assumptions about display configuration, sorry :)

I have the same problem sebriese, along with "Safari can't open the page. The error was: lost network connection (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)" This method worked fine for a couple of days, then this started happening consistently, whether on EDGE or Wi-Fi. Perhaps AT&T is blocking this type of useage?

Posted by xpous 33 weeks ago ( 17-Sep-2007 21:04:28 )

What did you do on the iphone? put the IP on the Safari and that's it? I don't get anything by doing that. The progress bar stays at the beginning and never moves more than that..

Hey Natetrue,

When i type in my ip on safari, i get a while screen and a link noted at the bottom... also no password prompt. I tried to do:

http://ipaddress:5800/?pw=123456
but doesnt connect.

Can you please tell me what i am doing wrong?

Thanks,
ED

Posted by bdamed 33 weeks ago ( 18-Sep-2007 20:16:55 )

Also when you are behind a router what are the extra steps if any to make this work?

Thanks.

Posted by digitaltexan 22 weeks ago ( 04-Dec-2007 12:36:37 )

I am very excited about desktop access from my iPhone. Down loaded your app and the missing dll, Terminated my existing VNC server and started your tightVNC server. Tried to access it from firefox but only get a blank screen, zero html. Tried the url password trick, but same result. Even installed it on a dell server here and same result. Hoping the "blank screen" is a common user goof up and you have a simple fix?

hi
i am absolutely a fan of it
i loves it
i love to use the ipod as a remote
i also looked in the .html and its amazing
is there any possibilty to use that code?
can we get in contact to modify it?
my first one is to set the refresh rate up, so it is more fast over wifi
but i havent understand the whole code
so it would be fine if we could sit together to make for example an Powepoint Remote or a Media Player Remote or such things
and sorry for my Bad English^^i am German

Posted by nambrot 17 weeks ago ( 10-Jan-2008 06:35:05 )

what i forgot to say
direct text input or such things would be also possible
so i am open for everything

Posted by nambrot 17 weeks ago ( 10-Jan-2008 16:50:25 )

here:
http://www.speedyshare.com/397346986.html
after spending more Time on the Code, i made some addition which i think can be very useful
First i modified it, that you can switch between different modes:
One Click Mode , so you can only Left-Click or Double Click, can be very useful when only selecting things, like playing Titan Poker now on the iPod
or the Standart On Screen Menue with more Power
One click is the starting mode, but you can change this easily
Then i made the refresh time input so you can change the time of Refreshing
you start with 3 secs. depending on your Connection
i recommend not going under 0.5 sec, then the iphone will be overloaded
another option is the direct text input without screen menue what isnt comfortable, but very useful when using media players with shortcuts or such things
To-Do:
Beeing more efficient and tidy up my worse code
USing Key like up down left right Page Up and Down for Powerpoint or such things, how can i sent TightVNC those keys?
and try to make program specific remotes, just like POwerPoint.
It would be nice if somebody would try it and comment it, espicially you Nate
hope it will be fun
damn, i love this project
really much thanks fot you nate

I have the same problem as above, with "Safari can't open the page. The error was: lost network connection (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005)"

Ivve installed Tight VNC and pulled the files from here and dropped them in the tightVNC folder overwriting any files and also pulled down the missing DLL and after running WinVNC and adding the password, I get the above message.

Any suggestions?

i dont really know what the error ist about, but i could imagine that theres the firewall. Do you connect in the Same subnet? Same Wifi/Wlan?

yes, i am connecting on the same subnet. I have not tried connecting from my laptop yet, will be trying that today to check and see If it works from there.

Can the original VNC Server and this "TightVNC" run concurrently on the same pc? I want to be able to use my iphone but I like connecting in with my laptop as well.

Shwadler, I have some Geovision cameras as well- Are you just logging on and "seeing' the desktop with the cameras running? How is the quality?

So i installed tightvnc and the missing .dll file, and got my IP, and entered it into my ipod touch's safari browser, and it displayed a blank white screen that had a link to www.tightvnc.com at the bottom of the page

then i tried using the other method with the password in the address, and when i tried that, it said
"safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" with an ok button for me to click

stats: Vista laptop connected to net via wireless router and a jailbroken 8 GB ipod touch connected to internet via the same wifi network the laptop is on (i dont know if this makes a difference or not, but i still wanted to mention it just in case)

please help - i'm dying to try this thing out - it looks incredble
you can email me if you want at hasibb7@gmail.com

Thanks guys

and great job nate!

You can get Geovision to work on your iphine by using product pc2me.net (free) or pro version files2phones.com which accesses Geovision on your pc.
