Has anybody here made a progarm like VNC, or A remote access program? Because I'm trying to make one, and I was wondering if somebody had some code or something that I could work with. Thanks.

I haven't built a fully graphical vnc type program, but I have built remote access programs... what do you need and/or what you are looking at? Text based? Full Vnc like capabilities, etc?
Basically I want a server that allows the client to connect to the other computer so they can view the screen(take control if possible), and also have a client program where all you need is the ip with the server on, and you hit connect and you can see it. It doesnt have to have all the options that VNC has, for now just the basics (above). Thats basically what I'm looking at.

Well, it would be no problem creating a server (I'm hoping you would want it to require a password) that would take a snapshot of the screen, and send it back to you. The problem I'm looking at, is the speed of such a program, and the bandwidth of such a program. In order to write a program to actually take over the other computer (which can be done), you have to be able to monitor (in order to see on your screen what is happening on theirs) in real time. That's a lot of snapshots, and a lot of bandwidth. Could it be done? Sure. Are there going to be some issues with it....certainly.
How much slower would it make the computer with the "server" on it? I'm interested in making a program like this.

Well, I don't foresee it slowing down the server a whole lot (maybe after you take control of the workstation.... some). I see it being choppy, and fairly annoying to work with on the client machine. Bottleneck effects and all other kinds of crap. Now, the best way to do it is to use a UDP socket (the same kind that streams movies and video) for the recieving images portion, and a tcp socket for the control portion.

I'll give you any assistance that I can, but I have a lot on plate (by way of projects) at the moment that take a significant amount of my time. Let me know what you need help with, and I'll see what I can't do.
