Remote Desktop Connection.

If youve got cash to spend look for Citrix

why not go with Remote Desktop Connection?
works wonders for me and best of all, its FREE

:smokin

ULTRA VNC from SourceForge is KICK ASS !!!!

Did I mention it's Free and fully-encrypted ???

thanks, ill check it out... free is good.

terminal services

Remote Desktop Connection or PCAnywhere is great as well.

Anyone do one that conects Windows to Linux?

Gotta bookmark some of these!

What he said...

VNC - www.realvnc.com

Works with Windows, Mac, *nix. Software or browser based client. And the basic version is free.

:thumbsup

Terminal Services all the way!

Remote desktop connection is great, the only drawback is when you have active derectory installed, RDC allows only 2 simultanious connections (this is also a case for some Small business solution licenses.)
plus you can set it so on a remote machine that you could see local drives (slower than ftp though) & access to printer as well.

This is what I use, haven't tried any other. Loaded this up and ran with it very quickly so never had a need to try anything else.

Thanks guys...

I noticed that Remote Desktop Connection does not let me reboot the remote machine...Also certain programs like Adobe Premier Pro will give me audio errors if I try to open the program from a remote computer.
Im gonna try some others...

I don't really use these things much but I found a good one called Dameware check it out

yeah you can

Start > Turn off computer (prompts with options to shutdown, restart, etc)
-or-
Start > Windows Security > Shutdown > select Restart

I don't think anything beats Go2MyPC for ease of use and functionality but Remote Desktop & Terminal Services work just as well. The only thing they miss is the easy file transfer abilities that Go2MyPC gives you.

nice catch, doubtful that other apps support audio or it will be very very shitty

in my remote start menu i see log off, disconnect. no option to shut down or switch user...the only I know how to reboot is by installing or uninstalling software that prompts you for a reboot...

anyone have this same problem?
