RDP/VNC between 2 mobiles / between mobile & PCs

Hi,

Nowadays remote desktop connection from mobile is possible on windows based mobiles.

RDP connections to linux machines are possible by setting up xrdp server. Do embedded linux based mobiles have similar feature ?

Also VNC viewer from smartphones to windows desktop is available.

VNC is supported by most of the linux desktop distros. Do embedded linux based smartphones have VNC viewer support ?

In windows based smartphones or mobiles, Is there any support for RDP connection / VNC viewer between 2 windows based mobiles ?

Do embedded linux based smartphones / mobiles support VNC between 2 embedded linux based mobiles ?

Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru

Not sure if RDP/VNC from embedded linux based mobile to Windows/Linux PC is available. But, it seems that andoid supports connection to Windows PC.

While exploring the internet regarding this, I came across the below link -

It seems that Android based mobiles support connection to upto 3 windows based PCs.

But it is not free :-(

Unable to get info regarding the VNC / RDP or similar technology based tools for connection between

2 mobiles of same OS or different OS . Any ideas ?

Thx in advans, Karthik Balaguru

Seems great.

To me it looks as if it is based on NXFree (optimized reverse X-Server).

IMHO, NX has multiple advantages over VNC.

I think, you meant 'FreeNX' ! (Typo error ?)

NX Protocol runs on Linux, Windows, or OS X that allows you to remotely control a PC. A free implementation of the NX server component is known as FreeNX.

VNC is platform-independent, so a VNC viewer on any OS can connect to a VNC server on any other OS. There are clients and servers for almost all OS. RealVNC has various flavours -

I came across the below link that has a very big list of remote desktop softwares -

GPL versions are also present. After seeing the above list, i think, TightVNC is better that RealVNC.

I think, FreeNX(GPL) does not have a windows client :-(

In versions that are based on fees, Citrix XenApp seems to have support for Windows mobile client, Blackberry client, iPhone Client, Android client. It makes it clear that by having above clients in the mobiles, a user can view the desktop PCs/laptops, :-) But, it does not clearly convey if the corresponding servers are present and whether those servers can be run in mobiles so that connection between

2 mobiles is possible. :-(

I did not find any explicit link confirming the usage of one mobile to view the contents of another mobile .

Lemme know if 2 mobiles can have the either FreeNX / VNC / Xitrix XenApp / TightVNC client/server installed in them, to view either of the mobile contents. Any ideas ?

On Windows I'm using a free (as beer) NX client. I don't know if there is a GPL/open source distribution of same.

But on the Phone you would need the Linux version, anyway.

While searching for having the server (Remote Desktop Software Server / VNC serrver) on Mobiles, i got the below link for server on the Pocket PC -

PocketVNC server represents a VNC server implementation for the RFB protocol (Remote Frame Buffer).

PocketVNC server is for Pocket PC. Is there similar Server for embedded linux based mobiles / Symbian based mobiles / Android based mobiles so that it can be used between 2 mobiles having the same OS ?
