I want to be able to connect VNC Viewer with Firefox using the IP number and the password from the computer that I want to see the desktop!
The problems is: I just can't. What do I have to install, besides Java to be able to connect using Firefox? I alredy have de VNCViewer installed with Wine but I wanted to use de FileTransfer opition that is only available when you acess it using the web VNC.

Running from a web browser
The VNC servers also contain a small web server. If you connect to this with a web browser, you can download the Java version of the viewer, and use this to view the server. You can then see your desktop from any Java-capable browser, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the web. The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800+display number. So to view display 2 on machine ADDRESS, you would point your web browser at:
The applet will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop.
Running as an application
You can run the viewer outside a browser using, for example:
java -jar vncviewer ADDRESS:2
The precise command line will depend on your particular Java installation.
2You can connect from Linux-Firefox VNC with this web site - It uses Flash VNC viewer and Java does not required. Other good news it support File Transfer based on pure FTP.
P.S. Look how can be configured FTP engine -
