VNC

You are reading the documentation of ISPsystem - a software developer. It contains general information about the platform you are working with.

If your question relates to access to the service, administrator contacts, tariffs, etc., contact your hosting provider - the company providing your services.

If you don't know who your hosting provider is, you can identify it by domain name or server IP address through the service https://www.whois.com/whois/

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a system for remote access to a computer's desktop. VNC allows you to send keyboard keystrokes and mouse movements from one computer to another, and to relay screen content over a computer network.

VMmanager uses VNC to remotely manage virtual machines (VMs).

VNC does not support clipboard transfer.
