vncserver
Vncserver is a command line tool used for managing virtual network computing (VNC) servers on Unix-like systems. It is commonly used to enable remote desktop access to a server or PC.
The vncserver command starts a VNC server session on the specified display. Users can then connect to this session remotely using a VNC viewer.
One of the primary uses of vncserver is to provide graphical access to remote servers or headless systems where a physical display is not available or necessary.
The command allows users to specify various options such as display number, display resolution, and authentication methods.
Once the VNC server is started, it creates a virtual display that can be accessed remotely using compatible VNC clients. Multiple VNC server sessions can run simultaneously, each on a different display number.
Vncserver also provides options to customize the server configuration, set encryption, and control access permissions for clients.
In summary, vncserver is a versatile command line tool that facilitates remote desktop access by starting and managing VNC server sessions on Unix-like systems.
