How to Configure VNC Lite

VNC Lite is a virtual network client for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad that is developed by Mocha Software. It allows you to view a remote Windows or Mac computer from your Apple device and interact with files and programs without physically accessing the host computer. This is very useful for support, remote file access or home theater PC use. You will need a computer running a VNC server (usually a simple Windows or Mac desktop) connected to a wireless network or the Internet in order to use VNC Lite.
