Can't connect to VNC via Mocha VNC for iPhone

Post by Elochai »

I don't know if anyone knows the answer to this or not but I like to get this working if I can.

VNC on my server (OS: Linux) works fine for TightVNC Viewer from my desktop, but when I am on the go (Which is pretty much 12 hours of the day or more) I tend to use my iPhone for server control.

I have a paid version of Mocha VNC and it works fine for connecting to TightVNC on my home computers, test both Windows and Linux. But I can't get it to connect to the VNC of my Linux Server here.

Anyone know why this may be ?

I'm not familiar with Mocha VNC. Have you tested with an SSH client as well?

Yes I have tested it with iPhone Mocha Telnet / SSH and it gives me a screen but doesn't allow me to type. I am more interested in VNC tho as SSH like putty doesn't give me access to the current running shell for the game server console.

What type of VNC mode is being used ?, maybe it doesn't like it, it seems funny tho as tightVNC runned on both my windows and linux computers home here were able to be connected tho the iPhone Mocha VNC app.

I really like to get this to work, it make life so much easier on me when on the go.

They have a lite version thats free if you wanted to test it on your own iPhone to see if you can connect to a VNC server here.

I tried 2 other VNC apps for iPhone, VNC Client which had the same issue as Mocha VNC, and VNC Viewer which cost me more money seeing I already paid for Mocha VNC. I hate when companies don't have trials for there apps. Anyway good news is, I didn't waste my money on VNC Viewer as it does allow me to connect to the server.

So for anyone who uses there iPhone a lot and are looking for a good VNC app, VNC Viewer should allow you to connect to your VDS here.
