In the Apple store there are 2 apps Remote Utilites, see https://apps.apple.com/nl/developer/remote-utilities-llc/id1201935140
Which one should I use?
And how to use it (I can not connect to a existing host)?
Kind regards, Mike.

Hi Mike,

You need the "Remote Utilities" one.

Yes, you can connect to an existing Host. The current mobile version is pretty simple - it only features a plain connection list (i.e. without folders as seen in the desktop Viewer). However, we'll do our best to update this version soon too and add a full-fledged address book.

Let me know if you have other questions.

Hi Conrad,
Thanks for replying. I successfully could connect to an exisiting host.
However I need a setting for a View-Only connection, how to do that?
Also, in the window "New connection", I can not specify the port number for a direct connection.
Please help.
Kind regards, Mike.

Hi Mike,

However I need a setting for a View-Only connection, how to do that?

Unfortunately, the mobile client only has the Full Control mode so far.

Also, in the window "New connection", I can not specify the port number for a direct connection.

You should first add a new connection. Then click on the tiny "i" in the connection list beside the target connection name to edit its properties. There you will be able to enter the Host port.

Hope that helps.
