How to Set Up Chicken of the VNC

VNC is a common, cross-platform, remote desktop administration and sharing protocol used on computers worldwide. There are several VNC clients available for Apple products, but Chicken of the VNC is known to be the fastest and most flexible VNC client for Mac OS X. While Chicken of the VNC is only a VNC viewer, its many features make it worth having in the remote connection arsenal for any Mac user. It supports a number of compression formats used by several leading VNC server solutions and is released under the free and open source GNU license.

Instructions

    • 1

      Download and install Chicken of the VNC from either SourceForge or Apple's website (see Resources). Launch Chicken of the VNC from your Applications in Finder.

    • 2

      Under host, type in the hostname or IP address of the VNC server you are trying to connect to. Choose "0" as the display, unless you know that there is another display you need to connect on.

    • 3

      Enter your password for the VNC server. Tick any of the check-boxes for features you may need, such as an unshared connection or a full screen session.

    • 4

      Open the Preferences dialog and adjust the performance sliders for the Frontmost Connection to be compatible with your bandwidth. If you have a broadband connection you can probably leave the slider near the top.

    • 5

      Close the Preferences dialog and click the "Connect" button to connect to the remote VNC server.
