TightVNC is a free remote control software package derived from the popular VNC software.

With TightVNC, you can see the desktop of a remote machine and control it with your local mouse and keyboard, just like you would do it sitting in the front of that computer.

TightVNC is:

* Free, GPL-licensed, with full source code available;
* Useful in remote administration, remote customer support, education, and for many other purposes;
* Cross-platform, available for Windows and Unix, compatible with other VNC software;
* Well maintained and being actively developed.

This version includes both the VNC viewer and server.
