The Remote Frame Buffer protocol</h1></div></div></div><p> This chapter provides a brief description of the Remote Frame Buffer protocol used by <span class="application">Desktop Sharing</span> and by other compatible systems. If you are already familiar with Remote Frame Buffer, you can safely skip this chapter. </p><p> The high level implementation of a system using the Remote Frame Buffer protocol is known as Virtual Network Computer, or more often just as <acronym class="acronym">VNC</acronym>. </p><p> Remote Frame Buffer (or <acronym class="acronym">RFB</acronym> for short) is a simple protocol for remote access to graphical user interfaces. It works at the frame-buffer level, which roughly corresponds to the rendered screen image, which means that it can be applied to all windowing systems (including X11, <span class="trademark">Mac</span>® <acronym class="acronym">OS</acronym> and <span class="trademark">Microsoft</span>® <span class="trademark">Windows</span>®). Remote Frame Buffer applications exist for many platforms, and can often be freely re-distributed. </p><p> In the Remote Frame Buffer protocol, the application that runs on the machine where the user sits (containing the display, keyboard and pointer) is called the client. The application that runs on the machine where the framebuffer is located (which is running the windowing system and applications that the user is remotely controlling) is called the server. <span class="application">Desktop Sharing</span> is the <span class="orgname">KDE</span> server for the Remote Frame Buffer protocol. <span class="application">Remote Desktop Connection</span> is the <span class="orgname">KDE</span> client for the Remote Frame Buffer protocol. </p><p> It takes a reasonable amount of network traffic to send an image of the framebuffer, so Remote Frame Buffer works best over high bandwidth links, such as a local area network. It is still possible to use <span class="application">Desktop Sharing</span> over other links, but performance is unlikely to be as good. </p></div></div><div id="footer"><div class="navCenter"><table class="navigation"><tr><td class="prevCell"><a accesskey="p" href="introduction.html">Prev</a></td><td class="upCell"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Contents</a></td><td class="nextCell"><a accesskey="n" href="using-krfb.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td class="prevCell">Introduction </td><td class="upCell"> </td><td class="nextCell"> Using <span class="application">Desktop Sharing</span></td></tr></table></div><div id="footer_text">Would you like to make a comment or contribute an update to this page?<br>Send feedback to the <a href="mailto:kde-doc-english@kde.org" class="footer_email">KDE Docs Team</a></div></div></div></body></html></FILENAME><FILENAME filename="using-krfb.html"><html><head><title>Chapter 3.

This means that they can potentially take control of your machine. </p><p> If you cannot encrypt the email message, it may be better to use a personal invitation, telephone the person you are giving access to, verify the identity of that person, and provide the required information that way. </p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> <span class="application">Desktop Sharing</span> uses the normal <acronym class="acronym">RFB</acronym> password system, which does not transfer your password in the clear across the network.
