Remmina como alternativa Linux a RealVNC
Actualizado el
Nuestra opinión
Remmina can replace RealVNC for most users who need VNC access from a Linux desktop. It supports VNC, RDP, SSH, and X2Go, and offers tabbed connections, saved profiles, clipboard sharing, and file transfer. It is ideal for Linux sysadmins, home users, or mixed‑platform teams who already use Linux for remote work. However, it does not include a VNC server component, so it cannot replace RealVNC’s server side for headless machines.

Lo que funciona igual
- Both use the VNC protocol for remote desktop access
- Both support secure authentication over SSL/TLS or SSH
- Both allow remote control of a desktop session

Lo que cambia
- Remmina is a client only; RealVNC offers both client and server
- Remmina lacks a built‑in VNC server for headless setups
- RealVNC provides dedicated server software with advanced security and licensing options
- Remmina’s VNC implementation relies on libvncclient, which may differ in performance
- RealVNC offers a commercial support channel and enterprise features

Remmina does not import RealVNC configuration files (.vnc or .vncconfig). To migrate, you must manually recreate the connection profile in Remmina’s GUI or edit the .remmina file format. Exporting from RealVNC is not supported; you would need to note the address, port, and credentials and set them up in Remmina.
Pasar de RealVNC a Remmina, paso a paso
- 1. Open Remmina and click the + button to create a new connection
- 2. Select VNC as the protocol and enter the host IP/hostname and port
- 3. Save credentials in the profile or use the password field
- 4. Test the connection, then add any additional settings (fullscreen, scaling)
- 5. Repeat for each RealVNC connection you use
- 6. Delete or archive the old RealVNC shortcuts after confirming all work

Does Remmina support headless VNC servers?
Remmina is only a client; you need a separate VNC server such as TigerVNC or x11vnc on the headless machine.
Can I use Remmina to connect to a Windows RDP session?
Yes, Remmina supports RDP natively, so you can connect to Windows machines without RealVNC.
Is there a way to share files with RealVNC servers using Remmina?
Remmina can transfer files over SSH or via its VNC plugin if the server supports file transfer extensions, but it does not use RealVNC’s proprietary file‑transfer protocol.
