Desktop Sharing: VNC Access Profile

The VNC/RFB Access Profile is used to connect to non-Windows systems or when cross-platform access is required. VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a graphical desktop-sharing system that uses RFB (Remote Frame Buffer) protocol to remotely control another computer.

The VNC Access Profile offers enhanced performance and features optimized for Thinfinity® Workspace.
