- By AdrianBrancato App Store 'Simply put, this is the best VNC+SSH app from many I did try. First of all, this is VNC+SSH, means only one app to connect to VNC server over SSH tunnel, very fast and reliable. The interface is a charm, an artist touch in a software developer world. I use is on other platform/OS as well with same deeply satisfying.

Best viewer in the market! I had a problem with my keyboard dock, which turned out not to be a problem of the viewer at all. The support was very responsive and competent in solving the issue.Quixeh

Trial: Feature-limited (Remotix Lite).
I ordered my first generation iPad as soon as pre-orders were being accepted andhad to wait for what seemed like forever for the 3G/Wi-Fi models to appear.Since then, it’s been close at hand, daily tackling a variety of tasks that usedto require my trusty MacBook Pro. Even a crack in the screen hasn’t diminishedits usefulness.
One of the first things I started experimenting with was using the iPad tocontrol my Mac Pro–based media center. Because that machine was connecteddirectly to our television, I had to either walk into the living room and turnon the TV or activate screen sharing on my MacBook Pro to check progress on eventhe most basic tasks. Surely there was some program out there that would let meuse the iPad to view the Mac Pro’s screen and have at least limited control overthe Mac Pro.
By the time the opportunity arose to review Remotix, I had already tried severalsimilar programs with varying degrees of success. I ruled out many of theseprograms because using even the most basic features required establishing anaccount somewhere. The extra features were often more than I needed, and,besides, the last thing I wanted was another account. I had been using the freeRemotix Lite for a week or two and it was promising, so I thought I would givethe full version a try.
Installing Remotix or Remotix Lite
Both Remotix and Remotix Lite install the same way, and for all practicalpurposes run the same way. The only difference you will notice is that the fullversion has a few features not included in the Lite version. In both cases,installation on your iOS device is as simple as it gets: download the programfrom the iTunes App Store as you would any other app. The next time you syncyour device with iTunes, Remotix will be there ready for you to configure anduse.
Configuring the Computers You Want to Control
Before you start configuring Remotix, there may be some changes that you need tomake on the Macs and PCs you want to control. On the Mac side, there’s no needto install additional software. You do need to open the Sharing preference paneand enable either Screen Sharing or Remote Administration.
Remotix Mac App Store App
In either case, click the Computer Settings button to access additional settingsthat control the degree of access each user is allowed.
Remote Management Options
Near the top of the Sharing pane is a phrase that says “Computers on your localnetwork can access your computer at: computer name.local.” Make a note of the“computer name.local” part; you’ll need it later. Since I’m logging intoadministrator accounts on my own machines, I only needed to enable screensharing to perform the tasks I need. I log into the Mac using the same user nameand password I would normally use to log into those systems.
For Mac users who choose to use it, Remotix also supports logging in usingauthentication keys rather than passwords. Using this method, you don’t need toremember different passwords for each of your defined servers. A public key isinstalled on all servers, and a private key is stored on your iOS device.Directions for creating both the public and private keys are covered nicely inthe Remotix help files.
If you will be using either Remotix product to control a Windows PC, the Remotixhelp files recommend using either UltraVNC or TightVNC. Several other variationsof the VNC protocol are also supported. With UltraVNC, your Windows user nameand password can be used for authentication.
Remotix currently supports a variety of authentication protocols, so it shouldbe useful in a variety of settings. When connecting to a computer running OS X,Remotix supports Screen Sharing in both “Ask for control” and “Ask to observe”modes. Authentication using your OS X user name and password is also supported.
Configuring Remotix
Now that the computers you want to control are configured, let’s configureRemotix so that it’s able to talk to them. Launch Remotix on your iOS device.After a brief splash screen, the main screen appears. Once setup is complete,this screen becomes a command center of sorts where you can choose the computerthat you wish to control. Clicking the “Settings” button in the upper leftcorner of the screen brings up a few basic settings for the Remotix programitself. The help file is accessed here, as well as a setting to choose adifferent background image.
Don’t be fooled into thinking these options are purely cosmetic. The “Add newscanner” button is a recently added feature. It can be used to scan your networkin search of servers (devices) to control.
Tap the “Add new scanner” button, and you can choose to scan Wi-Fi, 3G, and afew other network interfaces for potential servers. Scanning most of theinterface types identifies devices based upon their network address. The nicething is that if you scan for devices such as Macs that are Bonjour-aware theyare identified based upon their device name, not some cryptic numeric ID.
This scanner feature can be a quick way to identify potential servers, althoughit will identify anything in range that is using the interface you chose,including some servers (devices) that you are unable to connect to due toconfiguration/credentials issues. Remotix found, but was unable to connect toand control, my wireless printer, for example. If scanning a particular networkinterface yields too many useless connections, you can delete that scanner andconfigure servers manually. If you find yourself configuring new serversregularly, consider purchasing the full version of Remotix. The very usefulscanner feature is not in the Lite version.
Manually Configuring Servers
Clicking the + symbol in the upper right corner of the Remotix screen brings upthe “Add New Server” screen. This allows you to manually enter connectioninformation for servers that could not be found automatically.
Most of the settings are either self-explanatory or explained well in the helpfile. The settings for port number, VNC Authentication, and VNC Server Type canoften be left as they are. I set VNC Authentication for Mac OS X, but you haveother options.
VNC Authentication Options
In the Name field, choose one that will be easy to remember. On a Mac, I usuallyuse the name I gave the computer I am going to control.
In the Host/IP field of the Add New Server screen you could use an IP address.In my setup, I’ve chosen to use the computer name instead for convenience. Usethe name that appears in the Sharing preference pane. Remember the name I toldyou to make note of earlier? That’s the name that gets entered in the Host/IPfield.
We’re almost finished with the configuration. Tap the Operating System field andcheck the OS for the type of computer you want to control. In the full versionof Remotix, you can also control the quality of the image that you see on theiPad. If you are connecting to a Mac, Remotix can present your Mac’s screen inin one of five different quality levels to accommodate your needs and the speedof your Internet/network connection. The picture quality choices are “Black &White,” “Grayscale,” “Medium,” “Highest,” and “Adaptive.” Each increase in thissetting improves the image your iOS device presents of your Mac’s screen. Ofcourse, there is a corresponding increase in the amount of bandwidth needed. Thedevelopers suggest that those with slower networks try the “Adaptive” setting asa good balance between picture quality and performance.
Remotix Mac App Store Settings
Remotix Lite is limited to Black and White or Grayscale images only. That’spretty much all there is to configuration for most users. If you need it, SSHauthentication is also an option. There is also an option to save a thumbnail ofthe desktop when you disconnect from a server. It’s an easy way to identifyvarious machines quickly.
Using Remotix
Until now, I’ve spent most of my time discussing the initial setup of Remotix. Ihope you haven’t gotten the impression that it is a difficult process, becauseit really isn’t. The nice thing it that using Remotix is just as easy andperhaps easier. Once you’ve configured a server, initiating a connection is aseasy as tapping the thumbnail for the server that you want to use. Dependingupon which form of authentication you’ve chosen, you may be asked for a username and password. If you like, Remotix can remember these details for you.

Once you have connected to a server, gestures behave the way you expect them toon iOS devices. The two-finger pinch gesture that shrinks pictures shrinks thescreen image of your server. Expanding your fingers expands the area of thescreen you’re working in. Nice if your fingers are a bit clumsy like mine. Infact there is full gesture support in the current version of Remotix.
If you’re used to using extended keyboards with your Mac and find that trying toemulate those keys on on iOS device is cumbersome, you should really take a lookat the full version of Remotix, which has extended keyboard support.
Remotix Mac
I have to say that as intuitive as the iPad is, I find navigating through aniTunes playlist a bit cumbersome unless I really enlarge the screen. The areayou need to press to trigger a specific song is just too small for my fingers.Since Remotix easily supports the arrow keys, this process is much easier forme. That and the ability to have adaptive image quality are worth the price ofadmission for me.
Final Thoughts
It took me longer to write this review than I anticipated, and that might be agood thing. I found out that the developers are apparently serious aboutimproving the product. The first few days I used Remotix Lite, it wouldoccasionally appear to quit. The app was still running in my iPad’s multitaskingbar, but it wasn’t on screen. Tapping the program would bring it right back up,fully functional. Sometimes it worked for days without a problem, then thebehavior repeated. Shortly after I agreed to write the review of the fullversion, an update came out that stabilized the program for me. Additionalupdates have been released, bringing improved performance and some interestingnew features such as network scanning.
Remotix Lite will be sufficient for many users. I like it and still use it fromtime to time. Even though I had a license for a review copy, I paid for the fullversion. The adaptive picture quality, extended keyboard support, and networkscanning are well worth the $20 price to me. It’s much easier to control mymedia machine now.
