Knowledge base → Access to VDS server using VNC client

[Virtual servers]
Date of publication: 02.06.2023

For remote server access, SSH clients are typically used, but there are cases where you need to connect to the server as if it were a physical server with its own monitor and keyboard, but do this remotely.

For this, there is the client Tight VNC. It can be downloaded from the official website. The client prompts for host, port, and password. This service is disabled by default for security reasons, but if you need such access, you must request it from support. In response, you will receive access details like:

123.123.123.123:5377 password: xxxxx

After that, enter these details in the downloaded client and connect to the server.

Done — now enter the password. This client can be used to connect to any operating system, as the connection is made to the screen of your server.

You can also use other VNC clients available for your operating system — all settings will be identical.

Important note! When using the RealVNC Viewer client, you may encounter the error RFB Protocol error — simply use another VNC client instead.
