# jtightvncviewer(1)

Command line starter of the Java TightVNC viewer

## NAME

jtightvncviewer - Command line starter of the Java TightVNC viewer

## SYNOPSIS

**jtightvncviewer** *host* \| *host*:*display* \| *host*::*port*

## DESCRIPTION

**jtightvncviewer** is a wrapper script to start up the Java TightVNC Viewer to do the real work. Depending on the update-alternatives configuration one can invoke this script also as **vncviewer** or **xvncviewer**.

When called just with a host name it tries to connect to this host's display 0 / port 5900. To connect to a different display or port append its number to the host name separated by a single colon for a display or by two consecutive colons for a port without any blanks in between.

## EXAMPLES

- **jtightvncviewer** *somehost.org*

  Connect to display 0 (= port 5900) of host somehost.org.

- **jtightvncviewer** *somehost.org*:*1*

  Connect to display 1 (= port 5901) of host somehost.org.

- **jtightvncviewer** *somehost.org*::*5902*

  Connect to port 5902 (= display 2) of host somehost.org.
