Chapter 6: Setting Up <strong>VNC</strong> Server<br />
Disabling the mice of client computers<br />
You can disable the mice of all client computers. To do this, turn off Enable mouse input.<br />
Preventing printing<br />
For <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Enterprise) and <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Personal), you can prevent all connected users printing host<br />
computer files to local printers. To do this, turn off Allow <strong>VNC</strong> Viewers to share printers. Note this option is<br />
on the Printing tab. For more information about this feature, see Printing host computer files to a local<br />
printer on page 60.<br />
Under UNIX/Linux, if you have root privileges on the host computer, you can disable printing system-wide.<br />
To do this, run the command vncinitconfig -disable-print in a Terminal window, and press the<br />
ENTER key. The Printing tab is disabled. To reverse this, run the command vncinitconfig -enableprint.<br />
Under Windows, if you have sufficient privileges on the host computer, you can disable printing system-wide<br />
by re-installing <strong>VNC</strong> Server without the <strong>VNC</strong> Printer Driver component. To do this, turn off <strong>VNC</strong> Printer<br />
Driver at the appropriate step in the Installation Wizard. For more information on installation, visit<br />
www.realvnc.com/products/vnc/documentation/latest/installing-removing/windows. The Printing tab is<br />
disabled.<br />
Preventing file transfer<br />
For <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Enterprise) and <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Personal), you can prevent all connected users exchanging<br />
files with the host computer. To do this, turn off Share files with <strong>VNC</strong> Viewers. For more information about<br />
this feature, see Transfering files between client and host computers on page 62.<br />
Preventing copy and paste text<br />
You can prevent all connected users copying and pasting text between applications running on the client<br />
and host computers. To do this, turn off Share clipboard with <strong>VNC</strong> Viewers. For more information about<br />
this feature, see Copying and pasting text between client and host computers on page 66<br />
Note: Under Windows, note that files can be copied and pasted by connected users to client computers also<br />
running Windows. To prevent this, turn off Share files with <strong>VNC</strong> Viewers.<br />
Preventing chat<br />
For <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Enterprise) and <strong>VNC</strong> Server (Personal), you can prevent connected users communicating<br />
securely using chat. To do this, turn off Enable chat. For more information about this feature, see<br />
