So you may be asking yourself why not just use the TightVNC viewer software, but the point of using this Java version is that you can run this on a web server and have access to the PC without installation of the TightVNC software. Open the HTML file using your browser and then you will be able to access the PC. Most of the settings in the file you can leave as default unless you have a specific need to change it. You will need to setup a View Only account on the PC you want to control. Alternatively, if you just want to monitor the PC then you can use a feature called View Only. If you leave this out, a popup to enter the password will be displayed when the html file is opened. Now there is an option to add the password but as you can see in the screenshot it’s not recommended because the password will be in clear text.

TightVNC does have the feature to connect to the PC remotely via a browser as well by using Java. Once you install the software on the PC, you are able to remotely connect and manage the PC as if you were sitting right in front of it. TightVNC is a free remote control tool that runs on a Windows PC. This took me a while to figure out so thought I’d better document it here otherwise I’m going to forget.
