Hello Rob,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, Host/Agent for Mac/Linux is still in development. Hopefully, we might be able to release the first beta in a few months as Conrad has mentioned above as we do plan to release it by the end of this year. Sorry to keep you waiting.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your patience.

We have managed to reproduce the issue on both Viewer and Host when used on WindowsXP OS. We will implement a fix for this in the next beta version update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Are these related to the use of OpenSSL?

I checked on this with our developers as well - this is not related to the OpenSSL libraries as it's rather related to the Configurator Tool.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Yaroslav,

I'm glad to hear you've figured out the issue!

Please feel free to post another message if you have more questions.

Hello Peter,

I need to work out how to regain remote access to the problem machine in order to do that easily. Perhaps turn off the host and use version Agent 6.10.10.0? I'll see what I can manage.

Thank you, we have received your email with the requested screenshots.

This problem with the beta viewer seems to me to be specific to Windows XP.

Noted, thank you for the confirmation. I'll forward this information along with the screenshots to our development department so they can look further into this.

Are these related to the use of OpenSSL?

Perhaps it is, thank you for bringing that to our attention. I'll check on this with our developers as well.

I'll get back to you with an update on the issue soon.

Hello Philippe,

Thank you for your feedback.

We will correct this typo in our next update. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Yaroslav,

Thank you for your message.

Could you please clarify if the clipboard worked before? Could you please double-check if there are any programs running that use the clipboard and compete with RU for the clipboard contents? For example, various little utilities like clipboard helpers, touch-typing learning apps, etc.

Please note, that right now the clipboard only allows you to transfer plain text, as the rich content (files, images, etc.) of the clipboard is not synchronized between Viewer and Host yet. However, we already have this in our roadmap and will implement it in our future updates. As a temporary workaround please try using the Drag-n-Drop of files in the Full Control mode  or using the File Transfer mode instead

In addition, please note that the RDP mode in Remote Utilities just launches the native Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client from within Remote Utilities and connects to a remote computer using the RDP protocol.

Finally, in case if you're using the latest 6.12 Beta 2 version of Remote Utilities, please make sure that clipboard transfer is not disabled in the Host settings -> Other tab:


Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for your patience.

I have checked with our developers on the issue. Perhaps, it might be occurring if the OpenSSL library is blocked somehow. Could you please provide us a screenshot of the following folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Remote Utilities - Viewer\? You can send it to support@remoteutilies.com.

In addition, please check if the issue occurs as well when using the 6.12 Beta 2 version of the Portable Viewer. Namely, please see if there's any unusual behavior of antivirus software if there's any installed. Version 6.12 Beta 2 of the Portable Viewer is available for the download on this page.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Peter,

Thank you for the summary.

Did you get my second email with log files for W7 beta viewer trying to log in to XP beta host?

Yes, we received your email, thank you.

I have forwarded all the log files you've provided along with the issue description to our development department and asked for their input on this. I'll get back to you soon with their reply.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hello Peter,

Sorry for the late reply.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please also clarify what authentication methods are enabled for the remote Hosts that you're not able to connect to?

In case if you have the Custom Server Security authentication method enabled, then could you please also let me know if you have the Force custom server security checkbox enabled on the server in the user account properties?

On a side note, earlier posts mention that the v12 host does not use the display driver. Does intalling the new host automatically remove the driver, or does that have to be done separately?

Yes, the Monitor driver has been discontinued and it's automatically uninstalled upon the 6.12 Beta 2 version installation.

Looking forward to your reply.

Hello Derek,

I additionally checked with my coworkers on this. Even though it's not possible to open the Full Control window without the main Viewer window, it's possible to hide it into the taskbar upon opening the connection window if you add the /minimize parameter.

Hope that helps.
