The best Mac OS screen sharing app is right under your nose Funny how we often go to buy a 3rd party app to do something, and don't realise sometimes there is already a capability built right into the OS. The easiest method is to use Safari. Just open up Safari and in the URL bar (where you would normally type a URL like http://ift.tt/2fJmnHA) type vnc:// instead of http://, followed by your VNC server's IP address. For example, it should look something like this: vnc://192.168.1.9 Screen Sharing will then show up in your Dock and you can drag it into the middle of your Dock to create a shortcut. Another method is to simply find your CoreServices folder where the app is located. It is located here: /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app My favorite method of accessing hard to reach folders is to go through Terminal (Applications Folder -> Utilities -> Terminall.app). Just open up Terminal and type: open /System/Library/CoreServices [note: as of OS X 10.10 Yosemite the containing folder is now located in /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications] That will open a Finder window where you will see Screen Sharing and you can open it or create an alias as you please. Or try cmd + k (from finder) this will also allow you add favourites to network locations including VNC locations. See http://ift.tt/2g2Rxxh
