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.
Connecting to a VM via VNC
You can connect to a VM:
- through the platform interface;
- using a third-party VNC client. For example, RealVNC Viewer or TightVNC.
Connecting from the VMmanager interface
- Enter Virtual machines → select the VM → menu → VNC. The VM desktop opens in a new browser tab.
- Enter the login and password to connect to the VM.
Connecting with a VNC client
To create a connection, you will need to specify the VNC server details: address, connection port and password. This data can be viewed in the virtual machine card: Virtual machines → select the VM → VNC settings tab.
