Macos – Any VNC viewer support zooming

macosvnc

Is there any VNC viewer that allows you to zoom out?

The desktop computer that I VNC into has a resolution that's considerably larger than the laptop I'm viewing with. The scroll bars in Chicken of the VNC are way too unwieldy to use effectively, and the falloff zoom in JollyFastVNC is a little hot and requires you to awkwardly move to the edge and back.

I wish I could just zoom out, pan around, and zoom in when needed almost like photoshop. Any viewer have features like this? OSX is preferred but I'd be interested in any platform.

I found that x11vnc can do what I wanted to do for option (1). Just specify a scale by running:

x11vnc -scale 1/2

or something like that.

I got this error from TigerVNC viewer:

It turns out that this can mean another client is already connected, and the -shared flag fixes the situation:

$ vncviewer -shared server.example.com:5991
