Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, there are no parameters for Viewer for Linux available yet. However, we'll make sure to notify our  users and update the related Documentation page once the parameters for Viewer for Mac/Linux are available as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have other questions.

Hello Andreas,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, the rich content (i.e. files, images, etc.) synchronization of clipboard is still yet to be implemented.  Although, we already have in our wish-list, we cannot provide a specific ETA on this yet.
As a temporary workaround please consider using the Drag and Drop feature or the File Transfer connection mode that has been re-written and significantly improved starting version 7 of Remote Utilities. For more information on the upd ated File Transfer mode please refer to this blog post.

When will it be possible to set the screen resolution independently of the host?

Unfortunately, Remote Utilities has nothing to do with resolution support, as this is the ability of your monitor and graphics card and Remote Utilities only streams the captured image from the remote Host's screen. We do plan to implement a feature that will allow changing the remote screen resolution from within the Viewer in our future updates (similarly to the Remote Settings feature), but please note that this will still affect both - remote Host's screen and how it's displayed for you on the Viewer's side, i.e. it still won't be possible to set two different independent screen resolutions for one remote Host monitor.
Please note, that in the Viewer interface you can se t only scaling, i.e. stretch or shrink the remote screen's image to fit your Viewer monitor (scaling can be specified on the Toolbar in the Full Control mode or in the Connection Properties -> Mode tab). Starting version 7 of Remote Utilities we've also added full support of the high DPI resolutions, so if you use any 2K/4K monitors there should be no issues with the scaling anymore.

Hope that helps.

Hello Jason,

Thank you for your message.

Please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode feature in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if this helps to resolve the issue. Please make sure to restart Host after enabling the feature in order for the changes to be applied.

Hope that helps.

Hello Cenk,

Thank you for your message.

The name of the Viewer's machine that is displayed in the Notification panel is determined by the
Device name that is set up on the Viewer's side. It's possible to rename the computer though, so the displayed name in the notification panel is more accurate.
In order to do so, please do the following:
1. Open Windows Settings (simply press Win+I shortcut on your keyboard) and select System section.
2. Navigate to the About tab in the left section of the window.
3. Scroll down to the Device specifications section and select Rename this PC.
This should change the computer's name displayed in the notification panel.
Please note that the above instruction is meant for Windows 10, so if you use another version of Windows the steps might slightly vary.

Hope that helps.

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the provided updates.

Peter, we haven't received other similar reports yet, but we will additionally test how the File Transfer connection mode works with Windows XP to see if we can reproduce the issue. Please note that in version 6.10.10.0 an old mechanism for the File Transfer mode was used which was replaced with an improved mechanism starting version 7 of Remote Utilities.

ipanic, thank you. I'll forward the additional information to our development department and ask for their input on this.

We'll keep you updated on the issues in this thread.

Hello,

This is to inform you that we've managed to reproduce some issues that you've reported in your initial post. We will implement fixes for the reproduced issues in our next update. The updated version of Remote Utilities will be released approximately by the end of next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, this is expected behavior of Agent as it's a module intended to be used for spontaneous, attended-only remote sessions.

For the described scenario you can use Host instead as it allows unattended reboot and can start automatically at the remote machine's startup, as well as allows you to control UAC prompts remotely. In case if you don't want to use Host for security reasons, please note that there's a number of settings for enhancing Host's security, including 2-factor authentication and the Ask user permission feature that prompts the remote user to accept or reject an incoming connection.

Hope that helps.

Hello,

Thank you for the clarification.

Please try switching Current user to System or vice versa in the Access menu of the File Transfer connection mode and see if this works for you.

Hope that helps.
