Remote access is gaining popularity in the domain of online
PC and laptop support. Not just for commercial use but also for personal use,
people require setting remote
connections with other computers.
For instance, if you are in office working in a file and
half of the text of that file is there on your home desktop.
Now, to connect to your home desktop, you will require
accessing it via remote. Likewise, there can be various circumstances where
having free remote access
is beneficial. This blog lists out three popular remote access tools that you can use commercially
and personally.
TeamViewer
TeamViewer is surely the best free remote access software considering its high
popularity. It has numerous features that are great to use and in addition to
that the software is extremely easy to install. There is no obligation to make
any changes to the firewall configuration or the router.
The use of the tool gets easy owing to its voice-only, video
and text chat. As a result of that, it supports wake-on-LAN (WOL) and also
allows you to do file transfers. It can even remotely reboot a PC into Safe
Mode. Using the tool one can connect to Mac, Windows, or Linux computer.
If you require accessing a computer on a regular basis from
a different location, then install the TeamViewer Host version. But if you
require accessing a computer just for once then go for the portable version
called TeamViewer QuickSupport. Over this tool, you get a plenty of options
through which you can connect to the computer you want to control remotely.
There are installable and portable programs available for
Mac, Windows, and Linux. Also, there are mobile apps for Android, iOS, Windows
Phone, and Windows 8. It has plenty of other features like:
·
Remote access to the computer using a web
browser
·
Share a single application window
·
Print remote files to a local printer
Ammyy Admin
Ammyy Admin is a perfectly portable remote access program
that is notably simple to setup. It operates by connecting one computer to
another through an ID supplied by the program.
Run the Ammyy Admin software on the client computer that you
want to control remotely. You don't require doing any installation, and thus
can get started pretty quickly. It's a file of just 750 KB and thus downloads
very fast.
From its menu, you can choose Service. Next, you need to
install the Ammyy Admin service. That will let you access the client computer
without even running the program manually. When the program runs, your client
needs to note the ID number and handover it to you so that you can instantly
and easily connect to that computer.
So, to remotely connect using the Ammyy Admin host computer,
simply launch the portable program on your computer. Enter the ID of the other
computer, and you will easily set the remote connection. Now you can perform tasks like
file transfers, voice chat, etc.
AeroAdmin
AeroAdmin is apparently the simplest program to use for free remote access. There are
barely any settings, and everything is prompt. Thus, it's perfect for
spontaneous support.
AeroAdmin resembles a lot to the TeamViewer program. Here
also, just open the portable program and enter the AeroAdmin ID of the other
computer to which you want to connect remotely. The only requirement is that both
the computers must run the same AeroAdmin program. Both of the computer users
at the either end of the remote
connection have to enter the each other’s AeroAdmin ID.
After setting the connection, you can have two options: View
Only or Remote Control. View Only lets you only see the other computer’s desktop
but you can't control it or perform any tasks on it. But the ‘Remote Control’
connection lets you control the other computer, transfer files, share clipboard
text, etc. It is a free tool for both personal and commercial use. But it
doesn't have the chat option.
All the above mentioned remote access tools support free remote access from one
computer to other. These are easy to install and use.
