TightVNC is free, open source remote desktop software for accessing and controlling a computer over a network. Its viewer interface lets users interact with a remote screen, open files, launch applications, and perform other actions on the remote desktop as if they were physically present at the machine.
The product includes a viewer and server, with source code and SDKs available for various systems and platforms. A .NET Viewer SDK allows developers to integrate the TightVNC Viewer into their own .NET software, with support for WPF and WinForms, including a WPF FileTransferControl for file transfer functionality. The project also offers MightyViewer, a VNC monitoring tool for Windows that can serve as an alternative TightVNC viewer, featuring an address book, live screen previews, and tabbed viewing. TightVNC is available for Windows, with versions addressing security issues and handling of invalid data received from a server. The SDK is available under a trial and licensing model.
