Passing config file and argument to vncviewer

I would like to launch vncviewer in a script on Windows. Using a configuration file works fine:

vncviewer.exe /config config.vnc

This configuration contains the following:

[connection]
host=myvncserver
port=5901
password=encryptedpassword
[options]
restricted=0
viewonly=0
fullscreen=0

However I would like to pass the host and port as argument but keeping other options in the conf file. Something like that:

vncviewer.exe /config config.vnc myvncserver:5901

It doesn't work. A popup opens asking me the password even though it is still defined in the configuration file.

How can I achieve it?

Thanks for your help.

Solution

  • This vncviewer.exe -help does show you all the switches.

    So something in this line should work.

    vncviewer.exe -config config.vnc -ProxyServer vnchost:5901
