TERMINOLOGY


In the tables below, the following terminology is used for features:

  • Cut and paste - Seamlessly cut and paste between remote and local apps

  • Suspend - Disconnect from the Server while leaving all Programs running, so that the Session can be resumed later. Note that the programs remain in memory: this has nothing to do with suspending to disk. As a consequence, data loss may occur if the server is taken down and the user has not saved their work before suspending.

  • Force suspend - Immediately suspend a session, without confirmation from the user (this may be an Administrator -only action)

  • Transfer to another client - Suspend session and then connect to it from another Client

  • Shared session - Two users can view and/or control the same desktop at the same time

ENCRYPTION


Note that a lack of native encryption is usually not a big problem. On MacOSX/Linux, it is possible to tunnel over SSH (use the ''vncviewer'' with the ''-via'' option, or use the -L option of the OpenSSH client); on Windows, if the server runs on a UNIX, it can be done by using PuTTY .
