VNC client is the windows software you use to connect, while VNC server seems to be a built-in mac software. To sum up, a VNC server is a program which waits for VNC clients to make a request and then shares it's screen with them. When we call about "clients" and "servers", to make things simple, you can say that the client is the one which MAKES A CALL (in this case connect to a remote machine) and the server is who RECIEVES such calls (in this case, sharing a desktop). Use a lowr-than-the-last in one computer if needed.Īs a rule of thumb, network programs usually give less problems if used with the same version, however, the developer will probably state the compatibility range somewhere. Try to have the same version in both computers. Track the installation manually or use some deletion software, there're plenty of them. If it doesn't work, do a PROPER uninstall in both sides.Do you have any software (not only antivirus) that may be interfering? If so, check the documentation in order to allow VNC to do its job.Check if copy-pasting is disabled, either at user-level or system-level, in both sides. Try executing VNC as admin in Windows side (I don't know if you can do it in MACs GUI, but I supose you can too, so try there too).I suggest you the following, in order of difficulty and probability of success: I've little experience with RealVNC (never cross-platform), but with pure VNC it was straight-forward between linux and windows, so I see no reason for RealVNC missing the feature, specially considering they explicitly state it in their docs.Īll this said, the most reasonable thing is to suppose you have a configuration issue or some unwanted interaction with other software. I'm no mac or Windows expert, but Windows firewall SHOULD NOT be doing this (although, never tested it under W10). If all the settings are correct, all I can say is that it should work out of the box without further configuration, so either you have something not properly installed or you have some short of firewall or sandbox protecting one of your clipboards, preventing the entire operation from succeding.
