Vinagre vs. UltraVNC: eine gute Linux-Alternative?

Vinagre als Linux-Alternative zu UltraVNC

Aktualisiert am 23. Oktober 2026

Unser Fazit

Vinagre is a functional replacement for UltraVNC's client side, but only if you are on a GNOME desktop and willing to use discontinued software. It handles VNC connections, tabbed multi-connection views, and clipboard sync well. However, it lacks built-in encryption (relying on SSH tunneling) and has no file transfer features, which UltraVNC provides. Since Vinagre is discontinued and superseded by GNOME Connections, it is not recommended for new setups. For occasional remote support where you already manage SSH tunnels, it works. For anything requiring encryption or file sharing, use Remmina or a dedicated VNC client with TLS support instead.

Was gleich funktioniert

Connects to VNC servers including UltraVNC
Supports multiple simultaneous connections in tabs
Synchronizes clipboard between local and remote machines
Adjusts scaling and color depth for display fitting
Bookmarking and server browsing capabilities

Was anders ist

No built-in encryption; requires external SSH tunneling for security
No file transfer functionality between local and remote systems
Discontinued status means no future updates or security patches
Lacks service/daemon mode for headless Linux servers
GNOME-specific UI, less lightweight than UltraVNC's Windows client

Ihre UltraVNC-Dateien öffnen

UltraVNC does not use proprietary file formats for its core remote desktop function. Configuration files (INI) are specific to the UltraVNC application and are not directly readable by Vinagre. You will need to manually enter connection details (IP, port, password) into Vinagre's bookmarks. There is no direct import of UltraVNC settings, but the underlying VNC protocol is standard, so connectivity is not an issue.

Von UltraVNC zu Vinagre wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

Install Vinagre via your package manager (e.g., apt install vinagre).
Note down your UltraVNC server IP addresses and ports from Windows.
In Vinagre, add new bookmarks for each remote machine using the VNC protocol.
Set up SSH tunnels if you require encrypted connections, as Vinagre does not support TLS natively.
Test clipboard synchronization and scaling settings for each connection.
Remove UltraVNC from Windows if no longer needed for client use.

Häufige Fragen

Can Vinagre encrypt VNC connections directly?

No. Vinagre does not support TLS or built-in encryption for VNC. You must use SSH tunneling to secure the connection, which adds complexity compared to UltraVNC's optional encryption.

Is Vinagre still maintained?

No, Vinagre is discontinued. It has been superseded by GNOME Connections. While it still works, it will not receive security updates or bug fixes. Consider using Remmina or GNOME Connections for long-term use.

Can I transfer files using Vinagre?

No. Vinagre does not have a file transfer feature. To move files between machines, you must use separate tools like SCP, SFTP, or a shared network drive, unlike UltraVNC which offers basic file transfer.
