UltraVNC (sometimes written uVNC) is an open source application for the Microsoft Windows operating system that uses the VNC protocol to control another computer's screen remotely. It bears a strong resemblance to RealVNC Free Edition, however in addition to remote control it adds various features, such as an encryption plugin to secure the client/server connection. It also supports file transfers, chat functionality and various authentication methods. The software is free and distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
UltraVNC is developed in the C, C++, and Java programming languages.
The next release is expected to work fully as a service under Windows Vista and to work with its User Account Control (UAC).
