VNC Central 0.019b

VNC Central is a program that will simplify the management of a large group of remote computers by allowing you to launch applications between them. You can, for example, have a local vnc viewer to connect to a remote computer running vnc central or vice-versa have a remote vnc server to connect to a vnc viewer in listen mode running on your computer (solving great part of server side firewall/router problems).

VNC Central however is not made only for vnc server/clients applications, in fact you can use any application you like, for example you can launch a ftp client to connect to the remote server or have a remote ftp client to connect to your local server. You just need an application that accepts remote ips as command line parameters, nothing more.

VNC Central interface is very simple, theres a main listbox that shows all the connected computers, if you want to launch an application you just have to right-click a computer and select it. It also supports automatic dyndns update, so if you need to connect your vnc central to another that runs on a pc without a static ip you can just configure a dyndns to solve the problem.

VNC Central can be used for many different purposes since, as I already wrote before, it doesnt only supports vnc client/server, in fact it supports any application that accepts command line parameters.

For example you can:keep track of connected customers and take control of their computer when you need to run a manteinance program (defrag or whatever) on different computers at once just control the pcs in your lan
set up a vnc central network to bypass firewalls: you can link them in any way you like, you can link a vnc central that acts like a server to another vnc central that also acts like a server for example the important thing is that you must not create closed connection loops.

And by connection loops I mean that you cant connect a vnc central connected to more than one vnc central belonging to the same vnc central network. Probably this will be fixed in next versions.
