Neustradamus — Sun, 19 Apr 2026 23:17:25 -0000

Dear @vnc-tight team, @anton19286, @const_k, @crazy-walrus, @letner, @sukhodolin, all,

It is possible to add the support of "Extended Clipboard Pseudo-Encoding"?

https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#extended-clipboard-pseudo-encoding

Thanks in advance.

#436 file transfer only option

This would be a great feature.
No need to bother the user on the server side with accidently moving their mouse just to do a file transfer.

How can I start the viewer with -listen and provide a port number such as 14537?

Question. Authorization Needed to Proceed with Technical Support

Armando — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 22:27:15 -0000

Hello everyone. I would like to know how to make the guest user’s computer display a personalized message requesting access to their machine, on behalf of the support user. I haven’t been able to figure out how this is done. (Windows environment)

#760 copying and pasting files directly on the remote desktop and locally

I agree. Being able to copy/paste from a remote window is basic stuff. It's really needed.

#48 Remote audio capability (VNC Audio)

Badda — Mon, 03 Mar 2025 16:09:07 -0000

This feature would still be highly appreciated. RealVNC already supports audio, alas via proprietary protocol extensions. But standard protocol supports audio as well (https://github.com/rfbproto/rfbproto/blob/master/rfbproto.rst#qemu-audio-client-message).
Unfortunately, the standard protocol is limited to uncompressed audio. Maybe this would be a great opportunity for a protocol enhancement request?

Add the possibility to rotate window

Joshua Oyen — Tue, 24 Dec 2024 06:15:48 -0000

It would be great to have a rotate button for the VNC screen window. Currently, when connected to a mobile device in landscape mode, TightVNC does not rotate to match the device's orientation.
