Ssvnc and Flamory

Flamory provides the following integration abilities:

  • Create and use window snapshots for Ssvnc
  • Take and edit Ssvnc screenshots
  • Automatically copy selected text from Ssvnc and save it to Flamory history

To automate your day-to-day Ssvnc tasks, use the Nekton automation platform. Describe your workflow in plain language, and get it automated using AI.

Screenshot editing

Flamory helps you capture and store screenshots from Ssvnc by pressing a single hotkey. It will be saved to a history, so you can continue doing your tasks without interruptions. Later, you can edit the screenshot: crop, resize, add labels and highlights. After that, you can paste the screenshot into any other document or e-mail message.

Here is how Ssvnc snapshot can look like. Get Flamory and try this on your computer.

Application info

The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer, SSVNC, adds encryption security to VNC connections.

The package provides a GUI for Windows, Mac OS X, and Unix that automatically starts up an STUNNEL SSL tunnel for SSL or ssh/plink for SSH connections to any VNC server, such as x11vnc, and then launches the VNC Viewer to use the encrypted tunnel.

The x11vnc server has built-in SSL support, however SSVNC can make SSL encrypted VNC connections to any VNC Server if they are running an SSL tunnel, such as STUNNEL or socat, at their end. SSVNC's SSH tunnel will work to any VNC Server host running sshd that you can log into.

The Enhanced TightVNC Viewer package started as a project to add some patches to the long neglected Unix TightVNC Viewer. However, now the front-end GUI, encryption, and wrapper scripts features possibly outweigh the Unix TightVNC Viewer improvements (see the lists below to compare).

The SSVNC Unix vncviewer can also be run without the SSVNC encryption GUI as an enhanced replacement for the xvncviewer, xtightvncviewer, etc., viewers.

In addition to normal SSL, SSVNC also supports the VeNCrypt SSL/TLS and Vino/ANONTLS encryption extensions to VNC on Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows. Via the provided SSVNC VeNCrypt bridge, VeNCrypt and ANONTLS encryption also works with any third party VNC Viewer (e.g. RealVNC, TightVNC, UltraVNC, etc...) you select via 'Change VNC Viewer'.

The short name for this project is "ssvnc" for SSL/SSH VNC Viewer. This is the name of the command to start it.

There is a simplified SSH-Only mode (sshvnc). And an even more simplified Terminal-Services mode (tsvnc) for use with x11vnc on the remote side.

The tool has many additional features; see the descriptions below.

It is a self-contained bundle, you could carry it around on, say, a USB memory stick / flash drive for secure VNC viewing from almost any machine, Unix, Mac OS X, and Windows (and if you create a directory named "Home" in the toplevel ssvnc directory on the drive your VNC profiles and certs will be kept there as well). For Unix, there is also a conventional source tarball to build and install in the normal way and not use a pre-built bundle.

Integration level may vary depending on the application version and other factors. Make sure that user are using recent version of Ssvnc. Please contact us if you have different integration experience.
