How To Use Chicken Of The Vnc

Well I got excited by this one, the music server is next door and I have chicken of VNC to control it from my iBook. However I have to still go and wake the server up. Alas although this programme sees it, it does not wake up. The server is wired to the router and the iBook is wireless. Still never mind. Chicken of the Sea was using the legacy VNC to connect and that seems to be what is now borked by the update. Mar 22, 2016 4:12 PM.

Locked out of a Mac because Remote Desktop has suddenly taken a crap on you? Want to remotely enable Screen Sharing (Apple’s fancy name for VNC)? Well, as long as you have SSH active, you can enable Screen Sharing on Mac OS X 10.5 by following these easy instructions.

SSH into the machine on which you want to enable VNC.

EDIT 2/23/2017: If you don’t want to enable Apple remote management, but instead ONLY want to enable screensharing, use the two commands below in Terminal:

$ sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu

$sudo/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart-activate-configure-access-on-users admin-privs-all-restart-agent-menu

THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE DEPRECATED:

First, we need to make sure that Remote Desktop is turned OFF. Issue the following command:

<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC '-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN' 'http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd'><plist version='1.0'><dict><key>ARD_AllLocalUsers</key><false/><key>LoadRemoteManagementMenuExtra</key><true/><key>ScreenSharingReqPermEnabled</key><true/><key>VNCLegacyConnectionsEnabled</key><true/></dict></plist>

<key>ARD_AllLocalUsers</key>

<key>LoadRemoteManagementMenuExtra</key>

<key>ScreenSharingReqPermEnabled</key>

<key>VNCLegacyConnectionsEnabled</key>

</dict>

</plist>

Press return, then press CTRL-d to close the file.

Enter your administrator password if prompted. Then, copy and paste the following text:

Press return, then press CTRL-d to close the file.

Set the default VNC password to “pass” by creating this file:

and copying and pasting the following text:

Press return, then press CTRL-d to close the file.

Let’s change the ownership and permissions on these files to their correct values:

sudo echo enabled > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd</del></code></p><div><textarea readonly='>sudo bash -c 'echo enabled > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd'

sudo bash-c'echo enabled > /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ScreenSharing.launchd'

Finally, let’s reboot the machine:

You can now VNC into your Mac, using either Leopard’s built in screen sharing or a third party VNC utility. On Mac, I recommend Chicken of the VNC, available for free download at http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/. Point your app of choice to your machine’s IP address or hostname. When prompted for a password, use the default one from above (pass).
