Remote control of another computer. The best programs for managing another computer. What is remote access

Programs for managing another computer make it possible to solve the tasks of paramount importance without direct access to the device. Today, such products are distributed not only from professionals, but also apply to ordinary users. About the best applications for remote administration, read in the article.

Supremo Remote Desktop

The main advantage of Supremo Remote Desktop is portability. That is, it takes to install it for the operation of this tool. This solution Developed only for operating systems of the WNDOW family. Another indisputable plus is free. This program for managing another computer is posted for download on the developer's website and can be obtained at any time.

Before starting remote administration, run the utility on both PCs. Traditionally, such tools have two modes of operation: host and client. The first option does not require any complicated user action. You only need to click on the inscription START. In the column Your Credentials there are two fields: ID and password. It must be transferred to the operator, which will connect to the PC. Each session generates new values \u200b\u200bin these fields.

Also in the main window of this program to manage another computer over the Internet there is an item titled Ask Authorization. If you check the box opposite it, the remote administrator will not be able to connect to the server PC without the consent of the end user. It is worth including this feature if you want to know exactly what time the operator connected.

To control the remote machine in the field Under the inscription, you need to enter a host ID. Servers can be added to the address book to be able to connect to the PC in the future, without entering id.

One more useful feature programs - file manager. With it, you can see how to transfer documents to the host and download them from it.

AnyPlace Control

This program for managing another computer, unlike Supremo, allows not only to administer the remote machine, but also perform observation. In this case, the window will show what happens on the remote PC screen.

The undoubted advantages of this utility should be attributed to simultaneously work immediately with several computers. Only one click, and the reboot or shutdown command will go to several cars.

Not so necessary, but quite an interesting feature - a common buffer. Copying a document on a remote PC, it can be inserted on the client, and vice versa. This feature is also implemented for text and graphic elements. Using the built-in AnyPlace Control module, you can send a message to the administered machine.

Connection methods

AnyPlace Control offers three possible connection options:

• Connection by IP address. Classic way. Program for managing another computer for local network It works without intermediaries and connects directly to the server.
• AcCount connection. Best is suitable for regular administration of the same PC. Performed only after registering on the official website. The main advantage of this approach is the possibility of remote control of the machine via the Internet, even without the presence of a static IP address.
• ID-connection. It is best suited to solve urgent affairs. The user is issued an ID number and password that it must pass the operator. Administrator by selecting the "Connection on ID" menu and entering data will receive access to a remote PC.

TeamViewer.

No review describing programs for managing another computer does not deprive the TeamViewer attention. In fact, this tool is the most popular, and for home use it is absolutely free. Link to download is on the official developer website. One of the main features of the application is the possibility of installing it on the mobile OS: IOS and Android. Not left aside and "desktop" operating systems. Separate words deserves the QuickSupport tool. This small program for starting does not require installation and is best suited for urgent tasks.

In the full version of the application, the user is provided simultaneously both client and server parts. The interface is simple and understandable - it is a single window divided by tabs: "Remote Control" and "Conference".

Remote administration

Like many programs for managing another computer, TeamViewer provides the user with a password and generated ID, according to which PC and is identified on the Internet. The operator, knowing them, can easily connect to the car. The utility provides several connecting options:

• Control. Implemented specifically for complete interception of control. It should be noted that on a remote PC is not blocked. In the viewing window, you can change the resolution, enable full screen mode, switch scale or active monitor.
• Like other programs for managing another computer over the network, TeamViewer provides all standard tools: Copying, creating folders, renaming documents.
• VPN. When this mode is selected between computers, a private virtual local network will be organized. Allows you to access common devices or catalogs.

Conference

Using this tab, you can create a blitz conference or connect to an existing one. Free programs for managing another computer rarely have similar functionality. It is worth saying that the application provides voice and video calls, the possibility of demonstrating the PC screen and the record of all that happens in the AVI container. All traffic, both incoming and outgoing, is encrypted with a utility during operation.

There are many programs for organizing remote access. There are paid and free programs, there are programs for different operating systems. It is clear that in this article we will not be able to consider everything at once, but let's talk about the most interesting of them, and most importantly - we will understand what is more efficient for a particular task.

Radmin (Shareware)

Ten years ago, the most popular program for remote access was Radmin, she now is (www.radmin.ru) - she did not go anywhere during this time. From her and start a review.

The program consists of two parts: Server and Viewer. The first starts on a remote computer (or remote computers), and the second is on your computer and is used to connect to remote machines that you are going to configure. On the website of the developers, you can download both a complete set and individual components. There is also a portable version of the Viewer without installation, and the Radmin Server 3.5 NTI version is a special version without an icon in the tray, that is, the user of a remote computer and does not recognize that Radmin is installed on it until you start controlling it.

I will note the key features: Support for Windows 8 32/64 Bit, support for switching user sessions in Windows XP / Vista / 7/8, compatibility with Wine (Radmin can arrange remote access to the PC under control Linux Through Wine), Telnet support, remote PC shutdown, Radmin servers scanner (allows you to find all PCs that you can manage on your network), file transfer between Server and Viewer.

Conclusions:

• The functionality of the program: here and your own authentication, and support for voice chat, and the ability to transfer files. Everything is very convenient.
• Due to the fact that the Server is installed on a remote computer, the presence of the user is not necessary, as in other similar programs. For example, you can administer the remote PCs of your colleagues when they went for lunch. In other similar programs, it is necessary or to allow the user to enable the connection, or that the user gives you a password that is automatically generated at each communication session.
• Low system requirementsThe program does not load the processor at all, which is particularly relevant for my old note with AMD, which is heated as an iron, - he acted as a "remote" computer.
• Just run Server not enough, you need to configure it.
• Many users love TeamViewer for its functionality, and for the fact that it does not require any special ports (by default it uses the 80th port) and does not require a firewall configuration. Radmin Server uses port 4899, and it will not be possible to run it without configuring the firewall.
• No mobile customers.
• Does not support other OS.

TeamViewer (Freeware)

Now, probably, from programs for remote access more popular than TeamViewer. You can download her full version with www.teamviewer.com/en and at the same time not to pay a penny. For non-commercial use, the program is absolutely free.

Fig. 4. TeamViewer is launched

TeamViewer pleases Windows, OS X, Linux, which is so lacked in Radmin. There are also mobile clients for Android, iPad / iPhone: You can manage the remote computer from your iPhone. There is also a portable version of the program for Windows, which is very useful for an infrequent use of the program, and the portable version can be run as on the "server" and on the "client", unlike Radmin, where you can run only the client (Viewer) without installation, and the "server" part must be installed.

After starting the program, you will see the main TeamViewer window and the Computers and Contacts window (Fig. 4). If you plan to help at once to all your relatives and colleagues, you can click the "Register" button, create an account, and then in this window you will see all numerous computers that you set up.

Fig. 5. TeamViewer in action

Now we'll figure it out that there is something. If you need to connect to your computer, then the remote side you must tell your ID (in this case, 969 930 547) and password (8229). To report, already decide it yourself - you can copy and transfer these values \u200b\u200bon Skype, ICQ, by e-mail, SMS or simply dictate by phone. This password changes each time the program is launched. If the program is installed on your computer, you can make a permanent personal passwordBut I do not recommend: the password can be compromised and then anyone can connect to your computer.

If you need to connect to a remote computer, you need to enter the remote side ID (in this case, 411108007) and click the "Connect to Partner" button, after which the program will ask you to enter the password you received from the remote side. That's all - in the window that appears, you can configure the remote computer (Fig. 5).

Probably, you have already noticed the main difference from RADMIN: You need to pass the password to the one who sets up a computer, and in the Radmin password is specified when you create a user account. In other words, you need the presence of a user for the computer. It is asked, but how to organize a home office when you want to access the working computer, for example, at night. Everything is very simple. You need to organize the TEAMVIEWER autorun (for example, add to the "Auto-loading" group or register in the registry in the RUN key) and set a "personal password". Please note that you cannot specify a personal password if the program is not installed on the computer, but is launched without installation.

There is another program you need to know about: TeamViewer Host. It starts as a system service and is used for round-the-clock access to the remote computer, including logging in / output. It turns out that TeamViewer Host allows you to organize the terminal server, and it supports an unlimited number of clients for one server (the number of customers is limited only by the computational capabilities of your computer). It should also be noted that the TeamViewer Host is needed administrator rights that do not always have, therefore, in most cases, you will use the usual TeamViewer. However, if you need to configure only one computer (or simply organize remote access to it, say from the house), then TeamViewer Host is not needed. For the sake of justice, it should be noted that if the usual TeamViewer (not Host) is running on the computer, then the components B, B, G (number three are shown for example) can be connected to it for joint administration. Another thing is that you need to coordinate the actions of administrators, since the keyboard and mouse are common, but one can configure, the rest will observe.

Like Radmin, TeamViewer allows you to exchange files, voice and text messages, as well as remotely restart the computer (the desired command is in the "Actions" menu, see Fig. 5, just restart the computer is not enough - after all, the TeamViewer Communication Session will not be installed, overload the computer during its configuration only through the "Actions" menu) .

Conclusions:

• Easy (program is easier than Radmin, a huge advantage for unprepared users who will have to install it on the remote side).
• The program does not fully require installation: both on the client and on the server. Installation is made at will.
• Works through port 80 (and some more additional ports), which does not require the configuration of the firewall.
• Having versions for other OS.
• Availability of mobile clients for Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8 (that is, you can manage the remote computer directly from your iPad).
• The possibility of organizing interactive conferences (up to 25 participants).
• Does not require administrator rights for remote access.
• Shipping the processor is noticeably more than Radmin, my old laptop even overheated and turned off.
• Mobile customers, though there are, but they are not very comfortable (however, it is better than nothing).

ROYAL TS (Shareware)

Once there was such programmouth - Mremote. I do not know what happened there, but the Mremote project was closed, and the developers took and created another project - Royal TS. On the site you will find the version for Windows, OS X and IOS (you can run with iPhone and iPad).

In Royal TS, you need to create a document before creating a connection, that is, one connection \u003d one document. ROYAL TS documents are a very convenient thing, they can be transmitted as ordinary files, such as other admin. He will be able to open this document and immediately connect to a remote computer without having to create a manual connection. The Shareware version has a limit on the number at the same time open documents - ten. As for me, this is quite enough for the non-commercial use of the program, so in practice you will not even notice that you lack something (if, of course, you do not administer a remotely huge network of computers).

First of all, it must be said that this program is radically different from Radmin and TeamViewer. Both of these programs combine the functionality of both the server and the client (in the case of the RADMIN server and the client are different programs, in the case of TeamViewer - the same program). In other words, on one of the computers, you can install Radmin Server or TeamViewer, and on the other to use Radmin Viewer or TeamViewer, respectively, to connect to this remote computer. So, Royal TS is something like Radmin Viewer, that is, a program for connecting to a remote server, but the server will have to create on its own. How do you do it - your problems. Royal TS will not help you create such a server, but only give it to it.

Fig. 6. ROYAL TS for Windows

Among the connection protocols to the remote server, which supports Royal TS: RDP, Telnet, SSH, CITRIX, VNC. RDP / Telnet / SSH servers themselves and others will have to configure yourself.

On the one hand, it goes beyond the articles, on the other - it would be incomplete if I did not give an example of configuring at least one of the servers that support Royal TS. SSH / Telnet servers, I think, the reader will not be very interesting. I want something graphic. Let us have Linux (Ubuntu or her clone) and you need to configure the VNC server. To do this, first set the VNC server with the command:

Sudo Apt-Get Install VNC4Server

After that, you need to run it - for the first time without parameters:

Sudo Vnc4Server.

In the process of launching the Sudo VNC4Server command, you need to enter a password that will be used to connect to this VNC server. The password itself will be saved in $ HOME / .VNC / PASSWD. I will no longer say a word - there is man :). After the first launch, you need to start VNC4Server, specifying the screen number:

Sudo VNC4Server: 3

Next in Royal TS you need to create new document (On the File tab, then go to the Edit tab and click the VNC button. In the window that appears (Fig. 7) you need to enter the display name (Display Name) - in our case: 3, the IP address of the VNC server and specify the port number (usually 5900). The password will be requested when connecting to the server.

Fig. 7. Connection parameters to VNC

Conclusions:

• Universal client for connecting to a remote server by various protocols.
• There are versions for Windows, OS X and IOS.
• It is not possible to organize remote access only by ROYAL TS tools, additional programs are needed.
• Not suitable for remote configuration of inexperienced users - they simply will not be able to configure the necessary remote access services.

Supremo: free and simple (Freeware)

Let's analyze the situation. If you do not like TeamViewer or you cannot use it for some reason (including due to the need to buy a license for commercial use), and Radmin is also not suitable for any reason, then you will have to look for analogs. Once in the article talks about simple and free programs, you need to be the following program: a) free; b) simple. Such is the program Supremo, which can be downloaded from the site.

The program (Fig. 8) was created "in the image and similarity" TeamViewer. It does not require installation, the principle of working it is the same as the TeamViewer, even the terminology it uses the same (this is me about the partner ID and other inscriptions in the program interface).

Customizable Computer and Support Specialist Computer must run only Windows only. Different Windows releases are supported, including Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. The support of Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 on the official website has not yet been said.

Fig. 8. Program Supremo.

The algorithm for its use is simple: you need to start the program on both computers, then request its ID and password from the remote side, then click the Connect button. Before this, the remote side must press the "Start" button, otherwise the connection will not be allowed. Perhaps this is the only difference from TeamViewer.

For the review to be more complete, let's go to the program settings (Tools -\u003e Options). In the "Security" section (Fig. 9), you can configure the automatic launch of the program, specify a password for remote connections and specify how the ID is allowed to connect to your computer.

Fig. 9. Safety parameters SUPREMO

In the "Connection" section (Fig. 10), you can specify the proxy server parameters if it is present in your network.

Fig. 10. SUPREMO connection parameters

In addition to its direct destination, namely remote control of the computer, the program can be used to exchange files. To exchange files (which is possible in two directions - both downloading and downloading) Just use Drag & Drop.

Conclusions:

• Easy to use.
• Does not require installation.
• The ability to transfer files.
• The possibility of chat.
• Does not require a firewall configuration (HTTPS / SSL is used).
• No support for other OS, except Windows.
• No mobile customers.

LogMein (Freeware)

Consider another useful program - LogMein (Fig. 11). The purpose of this program is the same as everyone else reviewed in this article - remote access. On the site logmein.com you will find several similar products, we are primarily interested in the product LogMein Free. Its possibilities are quite enough for most purposes: access to the computer running Windows or OS X, remote control and viewing of the desktop, copying and inserting data between computers, reboot function, chat, support for multiple monitors, detection of the invasion by SSL / TLS protocol, not Requests the configuration of the firewall parameters, does not require the remote computer administrator rights.

Personally, I liked the function of copying and inserting data between computers, as well as a reboot function: during the configuration of the computer, it is sometimes necessary to restart it, after which the remote access session is automatically restored, which is very convenient.

Unlike FREE version, pro version It supports the transfer of files between computers, video in HD format, dragging the files between computers and a few more functions for which it is hardly worth paying almost 53 euros per year - it is so much a PRO version. Comparison of these two versions, as well as the version for OS X, you can read at: https://secure.logmein.com/comparisonchart/comparisonfpp.aspx.

Fig. 11. Main window LogMein

The way to work with this program is slightly different from TeamViewer and similar programs. Everything is a little more difficult, but, apparently, this is how the LogMein developers determine who and in what purposes uses the program. In the main window, select "with Mac or PC" and then you will see a sequence of actions that you need to perform to provide another user access to this computer (Fig. 12). Grandfather with a grandmother is accurately confused and will not appreciate. Without registering on Logmein.com it is not necessary, it is even free, but in terms of convenience absolutely superfluous.

Fig. 12. How to connect to this PC

There is, though the way is easier - anonymous access through the browser. Quite an interesting feature, which is not in other similar programs. The point is as follows: the user who wants you to set up his computer, creates an invitation link, then transmits it with any convenient way to you (by email, on Skype and so on). The invitation link is valid a certain time (Time assigns a remote user), even if someone is running, he can hardly use it after the expiration date.

Let's look at how to create an invitation and how to use it. In chapter " General access To the desktop, "current invitations are displayed. By clicking the "Send Invitation" button, you can generate that very link. The invitation creation wizard allows you to determine the duration of the invitation and the way to send an invitation (you can send e-mail link, but you can just get a link and send it manually).

Fig. 13. Managing a remote computer through a browser

Then this link must be sent to a person who will be engaged in the compaction of the company. When he copies it into the browser and open, it will see a screen similar to those depicted in Fig. 13. To continue, click the "Continue" button. After that, the user who sent the link will consistently receive two requests. The first request is a request for access to the guest, a second request for the provision of access rights (Fig. 20). Guest can or fully control the computer, or just view the desktop without the possibility of control.

Conclusions:

• Does not require administrator rights.
• Does not require a firewall setting.
• Ability to use a browser for remote control.
• Mobile customers.
• Several unusual principles of work.

Mosh (Mobile Shell): A good alternative for SSH

Mosh can also be used to remote access to the console (that is, you can remotely execute commands and you will see their result). The main advantage of MOSH over SSH is the possibility of roaming, that is, the network change on the client machine, which is useful on the road, when the network may change (now it is cellular, after a few minutes - Wi-Fi, and the IP changes, but the connection remains). Often traveling admins will appreciate it. But there is one big drawback: the MOSH cannot connect to the usual SSH server, that is, the server will have to install Mosh. But Mosh works not in the form of a demon like SSH, but as a regular program, that is, it does not need root access to its launch. MOSH is available for many distributions Linux and BSD, OS X, IOS (as part of the popular ISSH client) and Android.

UltraVNC / REALVNC.

VNC (Virtual Network Computing) is a remote access to the computer desktop that uses RFB (Remote Framebuffer). Earlier it was shown how to organize a VNC server in Linux, in Windows such a server can be created using Ultravnc or RealVNC programs. Ultravnc Program is similar to REALVNC, but has additional features like encryption connections between the client and the server, the Java Viewer module (access to a remote PC via a Java support browser) and others. Although RealVNC has a VNC Viewer plugin for Google Chrome.Therefore, there is no need for Java Viewer. As already noted, the programs are largely like, so in this article we will consider only Ultravnc.

When installing Ultravnc, it is possible to install both the VNC server and the VNC client. On your computer, if you do not need remote access, the VNC server can not be installed. When installing a VNC server, it will be possible to configure it to run in the form of a system service, but for this you need admin rights. RFB, which uses VNC, usually implies the use of ports 5900-5906. Consequently, to connect via VNC, you need to configure firewall, otherwise it will dance the connection.

Ultravnc Viewer program is used to connect to the VNC server. The program is universal, and you can use it to connect to any VNC server, and not just to the one on which UltraVNC Server is running. Similarly to the server created by the Ultravnc Server program, you can connect the ROYALTS program or any other VNC client.

A few words about how it all works. First, run the Ultravnc Edit Settings program and on the Security tab, set a password to access the VNC server, then you need to run the UltraVNC Server program. After another computer, we start UltraVNC Viewer (Fig. 14) and enter the IP of the computer on which the VNC server is installed, and press the Connect button.

Fig. 14. Ultravnc Viewer.

Conclusions:

• Need admin rights, need to configure firewall.
• The same protocol can be used to control Windows, OS X and Linux, but this is the advantages of a specific program, but the VNC itself.

SSH-access

The classic remote access remains SSH. It would seem that you can still come up with? Well, for example, what if you have a lot of remote machines? Prescribe aliases for each? there is special utilitiesallowing you to quickly switch between machines. One of these managers in Linux - Gnome Connection Manager. The program is very convenient, we strongly recommend. In Windows for this purpose, AUTOPUTTY is used - the shell for the popular SSH / Telnet client PUTTY, which can be downloaded at: http://www.r4dius.net/autoputty/. There is a similar SSH connector manager for OS X -Shuttle. For mobile platforms, you can use mobile SSH clients - Prompt (iOS) and ConnectBot (Android). You will find links and screenshots on the network.

AMMYY ADMIN (FREEWARE)

AMMYY ADMIN is another program for remote access to the desktop. The program is good because it is absolutely free, completely undemanding to resources (the executable file is at all occupied by the funny 700 KB), it allows you to organize both the usual remote access to the desktop and the connection in the remote office style, does not require installation and change of firewall parameters. With the rest of the program you can find on the website of the developers.

Anywherets (Freeware)

Allows you to convert the computers in thin clients. The main purpose of this program is not remote access from considerations. technical supportAs in all previously described programs, although it can also be used for this. AnyWarets allows you to give the second life to old computers to be used as thin clients - connect to the server on which programs will be performed that is physically impossible to run on old PCs. Detailed information You will find about this program on the site developers.

Remote access to Windows 8

This review would not be complete if we were not considered the possibilities of the OS itself. On the "server" (that is, on the computer to which remote access is planned), you need to perform the following steps:

• Run SystemPropertiesRemote.exe.
• Enable the Allow Remote Assistant to this Computer check box.
• Enable the "Allow deleted connections to this computer" switch and click the Apply button.
• If an energy-saving mode is used, you need to configure the computer so that it is never translated into sleep mode.

On your computer, use the application "Connect to a remote desktop" to connect to a remote computer.

Google Hangouts: Shering Screen and Video Conferencing

How ultimate measure can be used new service From Google - Hangouts. . It allows you to arrange video protection, during which users can demonstrate their own screen. If you wish, you can familiarize yourself with this service yourself.

Instead of imprisonment

There are a lot of remote access programs. As I, I hope, showed, the most familiar tool is not always the most efficient. It is necessary to repel from the conditions of a particular task, target platforms and other factors. I hope now I finally clarified the whole picture of remote access in your head. All offers and wishes can be sent to [email protected].

What is a remote desktop

Using a remote desktop (RDP) Windows may be very useful and convenient questions remote Access to Computer. When can a remote desktop be useful? If you want to manage the computer remotely (both from the local network and from any point of the planet). Of course, for these purposes, you can use third-party, such as, and others. But often these programs require confirmation of access to the remote computer side, they are not suitable for simultaneous parallel use of a computer multiple user, and still work more slowly than a remote desktop. Therefore, such programs are more suitable for remote assistance or maintenance, but not for everyday work.

It can be quite convenient to use the remote desktop for users with certain programs. For example, if you need to demonstrate to the user who is a user's work of any program (provide the possibility of demo access for testing). Or, for example, you have only one in the office powerful computerwhere the demanding program is installed. On the rest of the weak computers it slows down, and everything is needed access. Then a good solution will be the use of a remote desktop: all from their "dead" computers are connected via RDP to powerful and use the program on it, while not interfering with each other.

Static IP address. What you need for remote access via RDP

One of important momentsrelating settings and subsequent use of remote desktop It is a need for a static IP address on a remote computer. If you set up a remote desktop that will be used only within the local network, there are no problems. However, mostly remote desktop is used just to access outside. Most providers provide subscribers dynamic IP Addresses And for the usual use of this is quite enough. Static ("white") IP cranks, as a rule, provide for an additional fee.

Setting up a remote desktop Windows

Well, why you need a remote desktop disassembled. Now we will make it configure. The instruction considered here is suitable for Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10. In all listed operating systems, the setting is similar, the differences are insignificant and only on how to open some windows.

First you need to configure the computer to which we will connect.

Attention! Your account must have administrator rights.

1. Open Start - Control Panel .

In Windows 8.1 and 10 it is convenient to open Control Panel by pressing the right mouse button on the icon Start and choosing from the list Control Panel .

Next, choose system and safety - System . (This window can also be opened differently: click Start then right mouse button on A computer and choose Properties ).

Setting up remote access .

3. In the section Remote Desktop Choose:

- Allow connected only from computers on which the remote desktop is running with authentication at the network level . Suitable for customers that have a remote desktop version 7.0.

- . Suitable for connecting outdated customer versions.

4. Click Apply .

5. By button Select users A window opens in which you can specify accounts On the computer to which remote connection will be allowed. (This procedure is also called the addition of the user to the group )

Users with administrator rights have access to the remote default work. However, in addition to really connecting any account must be protected by a password, even an administrator account.

6. Add to group Remote Desktop users new user with ordinary rights (not administrator). To do this, press the button. Add

In field Enter the names Selectable objects We introduce the name of our user. I have it Dostup1 . Press Check names .

If everything is right, then the name of the computer is added to the username. Press OK .

If you do not remember exactly the username or do not want to enter manually, click Additionally .

In the window that opens, click the button Search .

In field searching results All computer users and local groups will appear. Select the desired user and click OK .

When you chose all the necessary users in the window Choice: Users Press OK .

Now in group Remote Desktop users A user will be added with the usual account Dostup1 . To apply change, click OK .

7. If you are using thirdbirth, you will need to additionally configure it, namely open the TCP port 3389. If only the built-in Windows firemair works, it is not necessary to do anything, it will be configured automatically as soon as we allowed the use of a remote desktop on a computer .

This basic configuration of the remote computer is completed.

Network settings, port timing

As mentioned above, for access to the remote desktop Need a static IP address.

If you do not have any routers and the Internet cable goes directly to the computer, then we skip this section, go to the next one. If you use a router, you must perform additional settings in it.

If you plan to use the remote desktop only on the local network, it will only be enough to fix the local IP for fit computer (Perform the first part without port forwarding). If you need access outside, then you need yet. To open access to the remote desktop, you need to break the TCP 3389 port.

Configuring the connection to the remote desktop

Go directly to K. connect to a remote desktop, that is, the settings on the client side.

1. Start .

Make it in Windows 7 through the menu Start - All programs - Standard - Connect to a remote desktop .

In Windows 8, it is convenient to run through the search. Press Start , I click on the magnifying glass icon in the upper right corner and in the search field begin to introduce the word "remote". From the proposed search options choose Connect to a remote desktop .

In Windows 10: Start - All applications - Standard Windows - Connect to a remote desktop .

2. First of all, check which version of the protocol is installed. To do this, click on the icon in the upper left corner and choose the item About the program .

Check the version of the desktop protocol. If 7.0 or higher, then everything is in order, you can connect.

If the version of the protocol below (this is possible on outdated versions Windows), then you need to either update it, or in the settings of the remote computer to lower the security level (i.e., select Allow connection from computers with any version of the remote desktop (more dangerous) ).

You can download updates of the remote desktop for outdated operating systems by reference below:

3. Indicate the connection parameters:

Now you can easily choose your favorite program and use it to remotely connect to computers of friends, relatives and colleagues.

Remote access to the computer via the Internet will allow you to manage your PC, even if it is thousands of kilometers from your location.

The technology works on the principle of assigning a unique identifier to a global network. With this data it is connected to remote control.

Function can be configured as using system functions of the operating system windows systemsand with additional programs (their use is usually free of charge).

Note! In order to access a remote computer through another PC, a remote PC must be turned on and have an Internet connection. Also, the function or program that ensures the presence of a remote connection must be connected on both devices.

Using the Internet ID function in Windows

Assigning a unique identification number in the network allows you to significantly simplify the connection process.

Using this feature, the computers disappears the need to adjust the reverse connection process each time.

Also, the Internet ID function is pretty easy to use and configure its operation can even be able to work.

How does Internet id work? The connection of two computers occurs due to the connection to a single host.

The interface is displayed due to the NAT protocol or standard network screen.

Follow the instructions below to independently configure the remote access to the PC using the Internet Options ID:

• To begin with, you need to receive an identifier with which two computers will be able to connect the connection. The procedure for issuing an identifier is carried out by the host for free;
• In some assemblies, the windows may not have previously installed utility. You can download it by reference http://db.repairdl.org/internetidadmin.exe/ennetidad-50.html.
• Install the tool on both computers and proceed to work;
• After installing the host icon appears on the desktop toolbar. Click on it right-click and select Connection Settings;

• Then in the new window, click on the corresponding button to get an Internet identifier. This procedure must be done on the computer from which other PCs will be managed;

• After a few seconds a window will appear with text fieldwhere the identifier will be specified that provides a remote connection of two PCs. Remember it, because without specifying the identifier on another PC, you will not be able to configure the connection;

• Now you need to make several actions on the client personal computer (to which you will connect). Run the installed utility, select how "client" mode;
• Press the New Connection Create key and in the window that opens, specify the connection name and the identifier itself. The name can be chosen anyone, and the Internet ID must match the one that was issued on the first PC. Press the OK key;

• Next will open the connection properties. Select the connection mode through the identifier, as shown in the figure below, and enter it again into the appropriate text field;

Now wait a few seconds and wait for the connection to complete.

With subsequent attempts to obtain remote access to another PC, you will need to enter the administrator only to enter the identifier, and on the client side, select the previously created connection template.

In addition to the proposed way to configure remote access, you can use special programswhich are even easier in the setup.

TeamViewer program

The main feature of the utility: the user does not need to be able to deal with the client and server part of the program separately.

It is enough just to install the program on both computers and configure the connection for several clicks with the mouse.

After the first switching on the application window displays a personal computer ID and access password.

To connect to another computer, it is enough to maintain its identifier in the Partner ID field and click the Connect button.

Benefits TeamViewer:

1. Availability of several modes of operation of two computers: remote access, file transfer mode and folders, VPN;
2. During the connection, you can open the chat window, this will allow two users to communicate in real time without being distracted by other messengers;
3. To ensure full-scale system administration of another PC, you can connect the option of round-the-clock remote access. In inactive mode, the function consumes little resources and does not load personal computers;
4. Work speed and stable connection. Due to the availability of high-quality hosts, users do not face the problem of access failure (this happens only in case of a bad connection with the global Internet network);
5. It should be noted that TeamViewer cannot be used for commercial purposes. The developer has embedded a utility to determine the commercial connection. If it is detected, access to the PC will be immediately blocked.

If you want to use modules for a corporate connection, you will need to buy a paid version of the application.

Helpful information:

The connection circuit is also depicted in Figure 8.

This application is more suitable for organizing a one-time connection than for long-term and regular work.

Among the advantages over other similar software, a simplified connection process, an intuitive interface and high speed of work can be noted.

Among the disadvantages of the application, it can be noted that it is not available on mobile devices and tablet pc. There is also no mode of transfer of folders and files.

The use of the program is limited to fifteen hours per month. This feature is organized to eliminate the possibility of commercial use.

Server and client part of the program

Also, in contrast to TeamViewer and Ammy Admin, unique identificator For the server PC is assigned only once (when you first start).

In the future, it does not change.

This will allow you to quickly remember it and in the future not to have problems with its introduction on the client side.

Also, users have the ability to independently set its identifier on the network.

The program itself is paid, however, if you do not need to use it for commercial purposes, you can download the version of LiteManager Free.

It is free and its work is limited only by the filter determining the possible commercial connection.

The appendix presents a large number of modes for connecting two PCs, namely:

1. Remote access;
2. Data transfer;
3. Chat organization mode;
4. The possibility of access to the registries of two PCs;
5. Task Manager.

The application also has a very good speed. The first connection takes place for counting seconds.

Also, you have the opportunity to access the BIOS remote computer.

The utility cannot configure the connection without specifying the IP address of the server PC, that is, the connection by the identifier is not possible.

All modern applications for working with remote access are fast work and a user-friendly user interface.

Choose a suitable connection method, based on it will be regular or disposable.
