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.
