I need a remote access app to control another PC on my network. In the past, I’ve used Remmina but when I install this into Antix it only supports the SSH protocol. I need the VNC protocol which I always had in Remmina before. The only VNC app I found in Package Installer was X11VNCServer but I need the viewer on the Antix PC – not the server. Is there a vncviewer app available or some way to add it to the VNC protocol to Remmina?
I fixed my problem. I didn’t have Synaptic Package Manager installed – only Package Installer. After installing Synaptic I searched it and found the VNC plugin for Remmina so I’m good now.

Good to hear you found an answer.

For information, antiX provides a couple of in-house apps that both provide remote access via VNC.
-
• 1-to-1-Assistance, is suited to circumstances where there are actual users at both the local and remote systems.
• SSH-Conduit, is suitable for use where there is a user at the local viewer system but no-one at the remote server system.They can be installed via apt, synaptic, or the package installer. They follow the antiX philosophy of being lean and mean. Because they are very lightweight they are suitable for use on modern and ancient kit.
SSH-Conduit also provides multiple ways to work between the client and server systems
-
• CLI: A standard command line terminal,
• FS : Add (mount) a remote folder into the local system or remove (unmount) it,
• VNC: Operate the desktop of a remote system,
• VPN: Join or leave a remote network.Both of those in-house apps provide
-
• x11vnc (server)
• SSVNC (viewer)Even though they are installed as part of the in-house apps, they can be used on their own. When used in this way you may choose what level of security to employ, including having none at all.
Here are a couple of links to info on 1-to-1-Assistance and SSH-Conduit

The links in the antiX FAQ give “404 – Not Found” for both the above, also for 1-to-1-Voice.SSH-Conduit looks like it should work for me. I’ll try it out later today. I think I overlooked it because the title implied it was only for SSH.

By design the SSH-Conduit suite makes all connections between client and server within a secure SSH tunnel. Consequently the configuration of SSH-Conduit runs the SSVNC viewer within a tunnel.
Because SSVNC is installed as a standard component of the suite it can also be used independently of SSH-Conduit. Although it is often partnered (used to make a connection) with an x11vnc server it is not restricted to that. It can connect to any suitable VNC server e.g. the VNC server presently running on your LAN.
If security is not your main concern, you won’t be using SSH-Conduit security configuration, so you could install only SSVNC. If easy secure connection is wanted install SSH-Conduit in full.
When anticapitalista has had an opportunity to correct the problems in the antiX-FAQ the guides will provide a simple, detailed help.
