jonas18z Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Why use web UI and not VNC och RDC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Because not everyone can install VNC clients or RDP clients from wherever they're trying to access µTorrent from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 @jonas18z: Anyone who wants to use it and are able to can use if they so wish. This is for those who don't. Since you seem to know enough about it, then you shouldn't bother with WebUI.@silverfire: Lovin' the avatar xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Uses less bandwidth too. RDP and ESPECIALLY VNC are bandwidth whores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobdapunk Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Just one more reason, expanding on the original reply: I cannot do anything over the internet at work unless it is straight up http - the proxy does not let anything else through.

silverfire Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 @bobdapunk: That isn't exactly accurate Some VNC servers have Java-based web interfaces for you to access it.EDIT: Clients? I must not have had enough caffiene yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonte77 Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 @bobdapunk: That isn't exactly accurate Some VNC servers have Java-based web interfaces for you to access it.Acctually, you are wrong They work the same way as a regular client... You still need to have an inbound port open in the clients fw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 I was just making a reference to how the Java-based client goes through HTTP to reach your VNC server. It's obvious that the machine you're reaching needs to be ...reachable... but the computer trying to access VNC through a browser-based frontend could be proxied and it'd probably still be fine.

Firon Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Not true. The java client is downloaded through HTTP but you still need to be able to make arbitrary TCP connections (NOT HTTP connections) to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Oh, really? That's interesting then. It helps make Java even more useless in my eyes than before, which is always a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGato Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Just change the RDP/VNC port to 80 or 443. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 It's still not an HTTP connection. It's more than just the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Just one more reason, expanding on the original reply: I cannot do anything over the internet at work unless it is straight up http - the proxy does not let anything else through.Try logmein.com - I'll bet that'll work (I've not found a firewall yet which doesn't allow it).

DonGato Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Well, it depends on the firewall, but most I've seen don't have any problems with RDP protocol running on non conventional ports like 80 and they let the traffic pass.

Determination Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 my proxy blocks logmein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
