http access to vnc
While I've not used vncserver on OSX, I do use it extensively on Linux and Windows NT. Most folks don't know this, but vncserver has a webserver and java applet based client built into it. All you need to do is point your webbrowser to:
http://:Where display_number is the display that the particular server is running on. Windows doesn't support (and I'd guess OSX is the same) the concept of mutliple displays like X11 so the display number is 0. So if I wanted to access an NT box named "windows" I would access the following URL: http://windows:5800I often run multiple vncservers (all with different resolutions) on my linux box (let say it's called "linux"), so If I wanted an 800x600 window, I'd connect to: http://linux:5801For a 1024x480 window: http://linux:5802This is in the vnc documentation.
this isn't in OS X
Disappointingly, the OSXvnc port doesn't include the webserver or the java client. That's why I recommended downloading the linux or mac versions and finding the java client within those.

Oops. If I had read your post more carefully I would have noticed that you mentioned the omission of the java client. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually, because of its support for Tight Encoding, my favourite VNC client is now Chicken of the VNC.app. With the latest version of OSXvnc, this makes a world of difference in the usability. In the same note, I also point out that you can couple SSH tunneling with firewalling external access to the VNC port(s) for extra security.
osxvnc.com a dead link now?
I just went to osxvnc.com, and it links to a cheezy search page at Trafficz.com .... Could this mean that there is no more OSX VNC server anymore?
