^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

You can have multiple instances of UltraVNC viewer & viewer sessions
running at the same time. Perhaps I'm not understanding what you are
trying to do?

Hi, what I need is multiple concurrent remote users controlling a remote
desktop of their own all running on the same PC at the central site,
would ultravnc support this ?
thanks

I don't see why not. I use ultravnc to control multiple computers from a
single PC via VPN's. Each remote runs ultravnc server. I simply bring up
multiple ultravnc viewers - each comes up on it's own window settings.
For instance, I have multiple VPN's built to my customer's store
locations (BEFVP41's on each end). When I want to perform updates, do
security checks etc., I then open a session for each location across the
links. That way I can work easily work on and monitor all locations at
the same time.

Note: Ultravnc allows you to reassign the vnc port numbers, so I don't
use the standard 5900/5800 ports as an added security precaution. I
don't allow web access and all VNC traffic is confined to the encrypted
VPN links. However, ultravnc has several security features built in that
you can experiment with without dedicated VPN routers.

(I also use Terminal Server for specific applications - I can use
ultravnc for this, but prefer TS for database connections etc., where I
don't want the user rooting around the server.)

What I'd recommend is that you download & give it a try to see if it
suits your needs. It's easy to install, easy to uninstall & works far
better that other commercial programs that I've tried. Check out the
user/developer forums (links are on the site) for bugs, updates,
suggestions.

Does UltraVNC allow you to have concurrent connections to one machine from
multiple machines? If so, are these concurrent connections controlling the
same "session" on the PC or are they logged in individually, a la Terminal
Services? This is what Simon is looking to do and I wouldn't mind finding a
free solution to set it up on my network as well. I use RealVNC right now,
but it doesn't support the "terminal services" concurrency ... at least, not
from what I can tell. :)
