TigerVNC share file method on Debian

This article describes how to use TigerVNC to share files on Debian systems. You need to install the TigerVNC server first and then configure it.

1. Install TigerVNC server

1. Open the terminal.
2. Update the package list: sudo apt update
3. Install TigerVNC server: sudo apt install tigervnc-standalone-server tigervnc-common

2. Configure the TigerVNC server

1. Set VNC server password: vncpasswd
2. Start the VNC server: vncserver :1 -localhost no -geometry 1920x1080 (:1 means that the server will run on display port 5901.)

3. Enable file sharing

1. Edit the VNC server startup script ~/.vnc/xstartup and add the following to enable file sharing (please note that this method may not be applicable to all desktop environments and needs to be adjusted according to actual conditions):

 #!/bin/sh
unset SESSION_MANAGER
unset DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
[ -x /etc/vnc/xstartup ] && exec /etc/vnc/xstartup
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
# Add the following line to start the file manager thunar & # or other file managers such as nautilus
gnome-terminal &
dbus-launch --exit-with-session
gnome-session &

2. Set file sharing directory permissions to ensure that the VNC server is accessible: chmod -R 777 /path/to/your/shared/directory (replace /path/to/your/shared/directory with the actual shared directory path). Note: Using chmod 777 will give all users full permissions. For security reasons, it is recommended to adjust the permission settings according to actual needs.

4. Connect to TigerVNC server

1. Download and install VNC client software (such as RealVNC Viewer).
2. Use the IP address and port of the client to connect to the server (for example: 5901).
3. Enter the password you set before to connect.

After completing the above steps, you can share files on the Debian system through TigerVNC. Make sure your firewall allows VNC connection ports (the default port is 5900 plus the monitor number). If you encounter problems, check the firewall settings as well as the VNC server log.
