VNC Workflow

[mcskrzypczak]

Inspired by Don Southard's Screen Sharing Workflow for Alfred v1 I have made VNC workflow using Alfred 2 dynamic list feature.

 

First of all here is the download → link

 

To add machines simply write vnc setup and after space insert machine name, its IP address and optionally port, exactly like that:

 

Name-IP_address:port

 

for example:

 

Living Room-192.168.1.1:5901

 

 

To delete machines write vlc delete and choose from list which machine you would like to delete.

 

 

Please, feel free to comment, to give some hints, etc.

Check out this: http://www.alfredforum.com/topic/942-screen-sharing-with-automatic-network-discovery/

 

No need to setup anything.

Great script. I currently cannot use the automatic discovery linked above and though my own script is similar to yours, I lke your version a lot more.

 

One issue though, my computers are named in a conflicting manner (e.g. daniel-server) so I had to changed your script to use the '^' character rather than the dash character.

This one works better for me than the automatic discovery one.

 

I use VNC a lot to do remote pair programming with other people in my company, so I need to be able to connect via ip addresses.

Thanks for this, I like it better than the automatic discovery one

Love this workflow. Works great with OS X 10.11.2 El Capitan and my Raspberry

 

Use ie. vnc setup Raspberry-pi:raspberry@raspberrypi._rfb._tcp.local

 

With this you quick on your Rasp and don't have to use to type or extra confirm password.

Hello,

 

Is this workflow still working ? I'd like to try it but the author hosted it on a dead service. Have someone a copy ?

Thanks

Hi thailoving, I have updated workflow's download link in first post. Also I've checked with with Alfred 3 and seems to work fine.
