TeamViewer: Remote Computer Management. Long Hands: Remote Computer Management with Android Devices Program for Manageing Another Computer

Surely, not every PC user (especially newcomer) knows that you can safely control the computer at a distance, and fully! Those. So, if you are sitting and working at your own computer, but being at a distance, and do it, for example, from a tablet or other computer. It happens very convenient and, for example, I use this opportunity regularly. Why do I need it? I work a lot on the Internet, but I always can't sit at my computer. It happens somewhere or somewhere to leave someone, and any urgent matter appears and I need my computer to open some kind of program, run something, see. The computer to carry with you always and everywhere is very problematic. He weighs about 4 kg, which is well felt when carrying :) But I always have a tablet or a smartphone with myself, from which at any time and from anywhere I can connect to my computer, which leaves the houses included. And so, I can work for him as if I am at home. Another reason for remote access is the ability to ask you some familiar or colleague to deal with any problems in the settings, programs on your computer via remote access. You can also help someone to solve some problem on the computer, connecting remotely to this person. Well, the last ... It happens that the right computer is in a hard-to-reach place or need to go. In this case, it is also the easiest to connect to it remotely and ready!

In this article, it will be about how to remotely manage the computer from any device and with the help of this manual you will learn to do it even to do even being a newcomer! We will consider the most, in my opinion, convenient for this business program - TeamViewer and today I will talk about the basic most necessary and useful features. Yes, it is also free for non-commercial use! There are only 2 conditions for remote control of devices: the availability of a connection to the Internet on both devices, as well as the availability of the TeamViewer program on both devices.

To date, TeamViewer is supported by all devices:

  • Smartphones based on Android operating systems, Windows Phone 8;
  • Tablets on the same Android systems, Windows Phone 8;
  • IPad all modifications;
  • IPhone;
  • Computers based on the Mac, Linux, Windows operating system.

For all these devices, you can download TeamViewer Application for free.

Interestingly, the fact that you can manage and vice versa - smartphones and tablets from a stationary computer.

So, we'll start on the steps to deal with the program, starting from the process of its installation.

Installing TeawViewer

  1. First you need to download the program itself. It is best to download from the official site, because there will always be placed the latest version. Go to the official website TeamViewer on the link:
  2. At the top of the page that opens, it is impossible not to notice the big "Free Full Version" button. Here it is and click:
  3. After downloading the file, we find it on your computer and run. The file will be called: "TeamViewer_Setup_en":
  4. In the next window, the program will be asked to select the TeamViewer use option. These settings can be changed after installation at any time. If you want to manage this computer (which you install the program) deletely, then immediately select the appropriate item. Otherwise, select Simply "Set".

    Below, it is necessary to choose the "Personal Non-Profit Usage" item, since the program is distributed only for this option of use.

    At the end, we set the checkbox "Show Advanced Settings" and click the "Accept - Next" button:

  5. Windows Account Controls can request your confirmation to continue the installation. Just press "yes":
  6. In the next window, check the path where the program will be installed, and if you wish, change it. But I recommend leaving the default path. Options below can not be included. All of them, if necessary, can be set after installation. Click the "Finish" button:

    A quick process installation process will begin, which will take from a few seconds to a minute.

On this installation of the TeamViewer program is completed! Go to its settings and use.

TeamViewer Setup

Configuring uncontrolled access to the computer:

Now we can freely manage this computer with any other device, wherever we are in the Internet access area :) But for this we will deal with the information that we (or anyone else) need to know that we can Connect to this computer is remotely removed.

Data required for remote control by any device:

The most, perhaps, it is important to know the data by which you can connect remotely to the current computer.

To connect to this computer from another computer / device with the installed TeamViewer, you need to know only:

  • ID of this computer;
  • Password to access this computer via TeamViewer (not to be confused with a password for logging in Windows!).

All this data are located in the main window of the program:

According to my example (see the image above) for remote access to this computer at the moment I need to specify on a remote device ID: 900 288 832 and password: 6SX71K.

ID in TeamViewer for each specific computer does not change. Those. The one that is specified in the window you will always specify when you remotely connected. And passwords in TeamViewer have 2 types: temporary (random) and personal (permanent). Now more about this:

I hope you understand the difference in passwords :)

Now we will go on the main most important settings of the program.

The main settings of the program:

  1. To go to all program settings, open the "Advanced" menu and select the option "Options":
  2. We immediately get on the "Basic" tab. Here you can enable or disable the automatic launch of the TeamViewer program when booting Windows. If you are going to manage this computer remotely, I strongly recommend leaving this item included. Then you will not have to run TeamViewer manually and especially if you are far away, and TeamViewer will not run on this computer, you will not be able to connect to it.

    Below you can see the message that you are attached to the previously created account. If you click the Delete button, you can break this connection.

    On this tab, important settings that are not exhibited by default, no more. Go to the next tab "Security".

  3. On the Safety tab, we can change the "personal" password, indicating the new and repeating it at the very top. Below you can configure the "random" password, setting it the number of characters. By default, such a password will always be issued from 6 characters.

    In the last section "Connection Rules to this Computer" section, you can enable or disable deletely log in using Windows password. The most reliable to leave this parameter specified by default, i.e. - "Is not allowed". Connect the easiest way through the TeamViewer password and will be safer.

  4. Tab "Remote Management". There are important settings here. All these settings are global - i.e. For any connection. But if you have created an account for yourself, then for each computer added to your personal list, you can specify your connection settings, but this is later.

    This is how the settings look like on this tab:

    At the very top, you can configure the image quality when connected to a remote computer. Leave better or "Automatic Quality Choice", or "Optimize Speed". I always put the speed optimization to connect to the remote machine and work almost without delay even through the mobile Internet. Minus only one - image quality (how we see a remote computer) will not be the best, but sometimes it is not even noticeable.

    Below, as you can see, the "Hide Wallpaper on a remote machine" option is enabled. This means that when connecting to a remote computer, the desktop background will be simply black there. I always leave this option enabled so as not to spend resources on loading, sometimes a large background image.

    Advanced settings are even lower, which are configured in each preferences. For example, if the "Play Computer and Music Sounds" feature is enabled, you will respectively hear all the sounds of the remote computer.

    It is useful to enable the option "Transmit a key combination" option. If this option is enabled, connecting to the remote computer, you can use the key combinations familiar to you. For example, the quick opening of the task manager is "Ctrl + Shift + ESC".

    In general, here you need to configure the way.

    Let us now go to the Computers and Contacts tab.

  5. The Computers and Contacts tab will display the settings of your account, in which all the remote computers you have added will be visible. On this tab, you can change the account data, as well as the configuration of the display of computers.

On this basic settings we disassembled. Now let's go to the main - remote control of the computer.

The principle of remote computer management

Driving a computer or any other device (TeamViewer must also be installed on them!) We can, as I said, from any point where there is access to the Internet and it is enough to know the managed device ID and its password (random or permanent ). Knowing these 2 parameters, we can control the computer.

Let's try to connect to the computer remotely:

  1. In the main window of TeamViewer, where the "Manage Computer" section is located, specify the ID of that computer, which will be managed in the "Partner ID" field.

    If you have created an account, then we can immediately make a computer on our favorites list by pressing the button with the image of the stars:

  2. We will open the access settings window to the computer, which we add to the list:

    In the image above, I noted those fields and lists, where it is best to make changes:

    • Specify the password if you know the "personal" password of the remote computer. Otherwise, leave the field empty.
    • Specify the network name of the remote computer (for your own convenience). It will be displayed in the list of your computers.
    • Optionally, you can ask a description of the deleted computer added for convenience, if you have a big list.
    • In the "Window" list, I chose "full-screen mode". This means that when connected to a remote computer, TeamViewer will display a remote computer in full screen. It will look like you are fully working for that computer. You can choose another parameter, such as "window mode", and then the remote computer will be displayed in the window.
    • In the list "Quality" I also choose to "optimize speed" in order not to sacrifice the performance, especially when connecting to a slow Internet.
    • "Identification mode" is better to always put the "TEAMVIEWER" identification. Then you will be enough to know the password specified for a particular computer in the TeamViewer program to connect to it.

    The remaining settings can be left with the "inherited" value, because, as a rule, there is no need for them and, in the extreme case, you can configure at any time.

    When the settings are set, press the "OK" button.

    Computers that you will add to your list will be seen in a separate window, as in my example in the image below:

    In the example, I added a computer named "Test TeamViewer".

  3. Now that the computer is in the list to connect to it, just click two times the left mouse button by its name. If the password you immediately pointed out, it will not be requested and there will immediately be connected (within a couple of seconds).

    Another way to quickly connect to the computer, if you for any reason have not started the account and do not put computers in your favorites list, it's just entering the ID to the appropriate field and click "connect to a partner":

    By default, it is worth the "Remote Control" mode, which we need. And the "File Transfer" mode we can enable at any time during a remote session.

    Now the window will be issued, where you want to enter a password to connect to a remote computer:

    Enter the password and press the "Login to System" button.

  4. Connection usually occurs in a couple of seconds, but it depends on the speed of the Internet with the same side. After connecting to a remote computer, the window will look like this:

    As you can see, the remote computer screen is black. As you probably remember, in the settings we left the "Hide Wallpaper on a remote machine" option included. As a result, the wallpaper on a remote machine was black, which will reduce the consumption of resources, and immediately after disconnecting from the remote computer, its desktop wallpaper will be returned to the previous appearance.

This is so simple and easy to connect to a remote computer :)

You can fully manage the computer at any distance, and at the same time look it will be exactly as if you are sitting on that computer.

Once again I remind you that the same can be done with almost any device. If you have, for example, there is an iPad, then download TEAMViewer on it (it is always free!), Enter ID and password of the remote computer, and that's it! You connect and you can manage it directly from the tablet, and it is also very comfortable!

Now consider some features available to us during a remote session.

Functions available during a remote work session on a computer with TeamViewer:

So, we are connected to a remote computer. We see the panel with a set of functions. Let's go through the most necessary of them:

  1. The button under the number "1" allows you to break the connection with the remote computer at the time.
    After any completion of the TeamViewer program on both devices, a window will be issued that the free session is completed. Just always press "OK":

    You can also instantly break the connection by being the remote computer. For example, someone remotely assisted help on setting up the system or eliminates some problem. If suddenly, that man began to make any actions on your computer, which, in your opinion, does not need to do it, then you can break the connection alone alone in the form of a cross (see the image below):

  2. The button under the number "2" allows you to hide this panel of the remote session functions.
  3. The button under the number "3" allows you to instantly switch to full-screen mode, which I use in 99% of cases.
  4. A very useful feature is to transfer files from a local computer to remote and back. You can do this by simply dragging the desired files from the window of your computer to the remote computer window.

    Another way is to use the Special Manager - "File Transfer". It opens from the same panel that is fixed at the top. Select the "File Transfer" item, and then again "File Transfer":

    A special manager will open - the conductor. There is also nothing complicated here. We specify, from which folder of the local computer will be transmitted, then you specify the folder where the file is transferred to a remote computer. Then select the file itself on the local computer, which will be transmitted and press the "Submit" button:


    Here you can change scaling, for example, turn on full screen mode. Here, in the "Quality" submenu, you can choose the quality display quality on the remote computer you need, for example, by including "Optimize Speed". You can also change the resolution of the remote computer (for example, if the resolution of your local computer is very different) and show / hide the wallpaper on a remote machine. Everything else is not so essential and necessary ...

Well, perhaps, all the most useful, that you need to know how to remotely manage the computer using TeamViewer :) The cool program is not true? :)

The most important thing is that it is extremely simple, even the newcomer will cope with it. Well, of course - free! In general, the best decent replacement program "TeamViewer", I, honestly, did not see.

On this writing of this article I finish.

Today, such a function, how to control another computer via the Internet is not awesome. There are many free remote access systems that make it possible to easily transmit information between users and carry out various operations on another device through the Internet or local network.


This feature is especially needed, for example, when someone does not particularly understand the operating system settings trying to change the parameters. In order not to spend a huge period of time on an explanation, you can easily and in seconds to put the options you need yourself. Such utilities are now indispensable and for work remotely, for example, you can not spend time on traveling to the office, performing all the work from the house, to be a system administrator and manage the main computer from home PC. All data will be available at any per minute. You should not worry about security - all information is subject to reliable encryption, all data is transmitted in strictly confidential mode. Such utilities can also be used to communicate, saving money on voice communication.

Programs for managing another computer are quite a lot, consider the five most popular, we will analyze, note the advantages and disadvantages.

This program is perhaps the most popular among users and occupies a leading position for a long time. In principle, there is for what - the functionality is really not bad. The utility weighs not much, swing fast, is in free access. In addition, installation is not required, you can immediately run and work. Accordingly, the interface and functions are also available to the most inexperienced user. After starting, a window with aniy and password of this PC and the window for entering the corresponding data of another device are displayed.

The application has many advantages. For example, allows you to transmit files, communicate in chat mode, shifting the screen and much more. You can also put a round-the-clock access to the device, this feature is useful for system administrators. It is worth noting a fairly high speed of work, the ability to work on all mobile platforms and operatingers. There are still many additional features that will be useful for remote access.

Of course, not going anywhere and from flaws. List some of them. The main is that at least a utility and applies to free access, it should not be used for commercial purposes. Given this item, there are many difficulties. For example, blocking work may occur if the program will appreciate your actions as commercial. The expansion of the functionality is no longer free. Also on free, it will not be possible to configure round-the-clock access. For the full use of the application will have to pay, and the amount is not so small.

Thus, despite all the advantages, this application is not always suitable for long-term use. But if you need one more operation through remote access, this is the perfect option.

If you want to work a long period, you will have to or pay the full version or be prepared that at any time the use will be terminated by the administrator.

Recently, TeamViewer was probably the only worthy program of a kind. Or it was so advertised and opened that she just eclipsed all competitors. However, today there are other utilities in the arena, which is no worse than the previous one, in some moments even better. One of these supremo.

From the popular TeamViewer, the program is practically no different, the same easy-to-use, has a simple and understandable interface, portable, does not require installation and ready to start work at any time. The application does not establish its services. There is a full-screen mode of displaying the workspace on another PC, chat and other functions. It is also worth noting the speed - it is higher than in the previous utility - the files are transmitted particularly simple and easy. Another advantage that has evaluated many users is a password consisting of numbers only, no matter how strange it sounds. Some even threw a popular competitor and switched to Supremo precisely because of this moment. I explain. To manage a stranger computer, you need to get a password and pass it along with the ID number to another user. (Algorithm is the same in both programs.) The difference is that TeamViewer generates latice passwords and numbers, and Supremo is limited to the numbers. Of course, it will seem to make that it is insignificant, but those who have faced attempts to transfer password to the elderly relatives will be deemed for the argument. The numbers dictate much easier than a slapped password. Especially those who do not use SMS and do not represent the differences between the letters "J" and "G", for example. And the point here is not in intelligence, but at age.

Of course, TeamViewer also has settings to simplify password system, etc., but in this program everything is simplified to nowhere.

You can download the utility for a direct link from the official site of the developer. The file size is 2-3 MB.

SUPREMO operation algorithm (similar to TeamViewer)

For remote manual, another computer requires a program on both devices.

  • Run the utility and click on the installer, confirm an agreement with licensing requirements.
  • The next step you must click "Start" on the computer to which access is available.
  • Get a secret code and ID, then share them with a user like-minded person.
  • Your "friend" must enter the data received from you in the string called the "Partner ID" and to continue.
  • Then he must enter the password, at the same time you will have a window with a request for confirmation of the operation (it will automatically disappear in ten seconds). After that, your comrade receives full access to your PC, both visual and technical.

Now he will be able to perform various configurations on your name: installing and deleting software, cleaning the registry, watching personal files, etc. A hidden window will appear in front of him with your monitor that he clicking on it will be able to deploy. I recommend turning off all visual effects (Aero, wallpapers, etc.), since the transfer rate between computers will noticeably deteriorate. For correspondence, you can enable chat, you can start the file manager to transfer files.

Pretty comfortable and practical in operation utility, which consists of several podcasts. The first part is Server, we immediately install it and run on someone else's computer, the second - viewer, which allows you to guide another PC. The utility requires a little more awareness than other programs. It is not so hard to work with the server, the user ID can be set, the program remembers the data and no longer requires re-entering and confirming information. Free version for personal use - Litemanager Free.

In addition to remote control, chat, export of data and cleaning the registry, there are several interesting features: imprinting the monitor, inventory, remote deletion. Free use is available to work for thirty computers, any restrictions are excluded in the time framework of the program, there is a setup functionId For cooperative use. Free and for business use.

There are practically no shortcomings, but some inconveniences in the free version give reducing capabilities when working more than thirty PCs. In general, the program is quite convenient and efficient when administering and remote control.

AMMY ADMIN.

The utility, also identical to the TeamViewer program, but is simpler in the work. The main features are: chat, file transfer, view and manual remote computer. Convenience in use does not request serious awareness, you can use in LAN and in the worldwide network.

The disadvantages may seem the limited number of working time, is paid for entrepreneurship. The presented utility is perhaps better not to use for serious manipulations.

One of the initial paid remote manipulation programs by third-party computers, developed for operational administration and is made with an emphasis on security. The utility consists of two parts: server and client. The main task of the program is to work with the IP address, installation is necessarily necessary. Without special skills it will not be easy to understand in all functions, so it is not suitable for newcomers.

As it was assumed, the program works at high speeds thanks to the graphical driver, there are practically no lags and freezes. Intel AMT built-in technique allows you to have access to a foreign PC BIOS and conduct various operations with it. The program does not have extreme opportunities except reliability and safety. The main modes are embedded: chat, export files, remote control.

There are several flaws: the lack of a mobile client and work without an IP address, the free version is available only for a month, graphic constraints disable personalization (can shine monitor), experience is required to work with the utility.

So, we can conclude that this program should be used by experienced users to administer a PC in LAN mode. To work on the Internet, most likely, you will need to spend a VPN tunnel.

In principle, it can be noted at least 5 programs, but this makes no sense: all the necessary functions are performed by the utilities listed above. The functionality of these programs is not particularly different. Some are completely free, but have their drawbacks, other wider opportunities, but you need to pay. Some, besides, a year license, so that long-term use will have to be discrepanted and for its extension. So you should choose, based on your purpose. These programs are quite suitable for non-commercial use. You can even combine somewhat immediately.


Remote administration programs have always been popular. After all, it is very convenient - see what is being done on the computer, being completely different. You can remotely help familiar solve some technical problems, check what the child is engaged when he is located one at home, see how the torrent client is loaded or coding a large video.

Since in domestic local networks, along with computers and laptops, smartphones and tablets have appeared, it became obvious that the latter is incredibly convenient to use for remote control. If the data transfer rate is high enough, then why not play the game installed on the computer lying with the tablet on the sofa? Or, let's say, do not see the interesting movie? In addition, current mobile devices can perfectly cope with the familiar tasks that are assigned to remote access programs.

Google Play you can find more than a dozen applications, with which it is possible to organize remote control of Windows, Mac and Linux based computers. Among them are also the development of well-known manufacturers for administration, and programs created specifically for mobile devices. Free decisions among them are not so much. In this review, we tested four applications, with which you can remotely work on a computer with an Android smartphone or tablet.

⇡ Microsoft Remote Desktop

  • Developer - Microsoft Corporation
  • Size - 4.4 MB
  • Price - free

MICROSOFT branded utility for remote computer management with Android saw the light recently saw the light - at the end of October. With the help of the application, you can manage the computer that works on Windows 7 or Windows 8. Since we are dealing with a "native" solution from the developer of the desktop operating system, no client is needed to install it.

But in order to be able to connect, you still need to make some changes to the system settings: Go to "Control Panels" In the System section and select the "Setup Remote Access" item. After that, you need to resolve remote connections to the computer (by the way, if the built-in firewall is disabled, Windows will not allow you to enable remote access, so that you have to start the appropriate service).

For the authorization of the Android application, Microsoft Remote Desktop uses the system name of the user and password. If you are going to enter a logic of the administrator, you do not need any additional actions on the computer. To allow access to other users, you need to click on the "Select Users" button and add them to the list of remote desktop users. It should also be borne in mind that if the password is not used to log in to the system, it is necessary to add it in the "User Accounts" section, since the remote connection will not work without a password. ( Note that the remote connection using Microsoft Remote Desktop is possible only to computers that support Remote Desktop Protocol - RDP. List of systems that are friends with this protocol are available on the link. - approx. Red . )

After completing this simple configuration, you can download the Microsoft Remote Desktop application from Google Play and add a new connection.

Its settings indicates the IP address of the computer on the local network or its name. Also, if you wish, you can specify the username and password to enter (for security reasons you can not specify them immediately, but enter directly before connecting).

If the connection has passed successfully, local work with the computer will be blocked and the login window will come out. If you enter the system locally, the remote connection will be broken. Thus, when remotely connected, you can see the desktop only on the screen of the mobile device.

After connecting, the remote desktop is displayed on the device screen. Two controls are available at the top of the screen: buttons for displaying the Android virtual keyboard and to navigate the screen.

If you want to use keys that are not on the Android keypad, you can call the panel with the connection name with the optional settings. It takes the transition to the virtual keyboard with the F1-F12, ESC, HOME, Tab, END, WIN, INS, TAB, END, WIN, INS, ENTER keys and others - standard for a conventional desktop manipulator. When you remotely connect to the device with Windows 8, pressing the Virtual Win key leads to switching between the desk and starting screen.

From the Advanced Settings panel, you can also disable multisensor gestures and go to navigation mode using a conventional cursor.

To complete the remote connection session, it is enough to touch the "Back" button on the Android device.

⇡ "TeamViewer - Remote Access"

  • Developer - TeamViewer.
  • Size - 11 MB
  • Price - free for non-commercial use

Thanks to the free status (for non-commercial use) and simplicity, TeamViewer has already remained one of the most popular solutions for remote administration. With the onset of the era of mobile devices, computers from Android, iOS and Windows Phone were created.

To manage a computer from a mobile device, you will need to install the client for PC and Android applications. TeamViewer can be connected to computers with Windows, Mac and Linux.

If the computer does not plan to connect to other devices, the most convenient to use TeamViewer QuickSupport. This module does not require installation and administrator rights. After it starts, a unique computer identifier (9 digits) is generated, as well as a password of four digits. Password If necessary, you can update.

After this module is running, you can open a mobile application. Mobile TeamViewer can work in two modes: remote control and file transfer. In both cases, the smartphone or tablet screen, you will need to enter an identifier and password to connect to a computer.

If a remote connection has been requested, then after a successful connection, the desktop will appear on the device screen. On the computer monitor screen, it will also be visible, but the resolution will be changed according to the settings of the mobile device screen.

To ensure convenient work with a remote desktop, TeamViewer creators have developed a whole system of controls. Tips for using fingers for navigation are shown before connecting, they can also be displayed at any time during the remote operation session. So, with the help of fingers, you can perform scrolling, mimic the right and left mouse left buttons, move the cursor and individual objects.

The TeamViewer control panel is placed at the bottom of the screen. With it, you can quickly complete the session, send a remote computer to reboot or block it. In addition, at the time of the remote connection session, you can prohibit local work with a computer. If problems are displayed with the display of the remote desktop, you can try to reduce the resolution, data transfer, as well as hide wallpaper display in the mobile client settings. These parameters can be selected for both separate connections and globally.

The control panel also makes it possible to quickly display a virtual keyboard. In addition to the Android keyboard, you can also work with additional keys: include CTRL, ALT, SHIFT, use the F1-F12 keys and others.

In the file transfer mode, you can see the remote computer file system and copy files from a PC to a mobile device or vice versa.

The TeamViewer Mobile Client remembers the identifiers of the computers to which the connection was performed, but if there are many remote PCs, it is more convenient to use the Computers and Contacts section to manage them. To do this, you will need to create a TeamViewer account (you can do it with both a mobile device and a computer). Next, you can create groups and add identifiers (and if you wish - and passwords) of computers to which you need to connect.

  • Developer - Splashtop.
  • Size - 18 MB
  • Price - free (extension of functionality - $ 1.99 per month)

SPLASHTOP REMOTE - another free app, with which with Android devicesyou can manage a computer with Windows, Mac and Linux. It uses a slightly different distribution model than in TeamViewer. For non-commercial use, the program is free, but to use some additional features it is proposed to buy an extension. Among the paid options: access to a remote computer via the Internet (you can manage only for free on the local network) and the tools for conveniently creating annotations on the screen. Also, the free version has a limit on the number of computers to which you can connect - up to five.

To work with the application requires a splashtop account. You can create it in both the mobile application and the Splashtop Streamer client for the desktop system. To connect, as it is not difficult to guess, you need to log in on both devices under your account. After that, the mobile client will detect computers available for connection, and you can open a remote control session.

In the settings of the mobile client, you can even enable automatic connection when started. In this case, the list of available computers will not be displayed and the application will connect to the device for which the remote connection session was performed last.

By default, you do not need any additional passwords, but if you are worried about unauthorized access, in the desktop settings, you can enable a password request for the current Windows account. In addition, it is proposed to use the security code, that is, simply speaking, the password that will be needed to enter each time to connect.

Some security settings, which are available in other solutions in mobile applications, in splashtop is proposed to configure in the desktop client. For example, you can disable the displacement of the desktop on the local computer screen during the remote communication session. You can also block the use of the keyboard and mouse, initiate output from the account upon completion of the remote work.

One of the features of the splashtop is the transfer to the mobile device HD video with sound. Thanks to this, you can, for example, look at the tablet film that is running on the computer, or remotely play a computer game. At the request of the user during the SPLASHTOP remote communication session, it can only transmit sound to a mobile device (it will not be alone), not to transmit sound (it will be heard locally) or to translate it and there.

With a remote connection, the screen resolution on the computer does not change, and if otherwise was not specified in the client settings - you can continue to work on the local PC. To manage a computer desktop with Android, a row of gestures are provided (for beginners are offered tips on their use), as well as a touch panel.

The cursor parameters can be controlled by changing sensitivity and speed. On your mobile device, you can view the computer desktop in the original resolution or scale it under the size of the small screen.

  • Developer - WYSE TECHNOLOGY INC.
  • Size - 11 MB
  • Price - free (with some limitations)

Another free solution, with which you can remotely access the computer's desktop, is PocketCloud. True, for Linux users it does not fit - the desktop version only supports computers with Mac or Windows. Mobile client is free for use with only one computer. To remove this restriction, as well as to obtain some additional functions, you need to purchase PocketCloud Remote Desktop Pro.

One of the strengths of the application is the ability to select a connection type. The default is the easiest way that does not require any technical knowledge from the user - through Google App Engine. In this case, you need to enter your Google account data in the client program for the desktop and in a mobile application. After that, the computer will appear in the list of available devices on the mobile screen - and you can start a connection session to it.

For advanced users, PocketCloud offers two more remote connection options - through the RDP protocol, which is used in Windows, as well as through the popular VNC system. And in that and in another case, it will be necessary to enter the IP address of the computer to which you want to connect.

After connecting on the screen of the mobile device, a special navigation element - wheel with various functions appears on the cursor. It is convenient for them if you need to click right-click, closer to a specific screen area, perform scrolling or display a virtual keyboard.

The mobile client settings provide a number of settings to improve the quality of the image transmission. So, you can disable the menu animation, themes, wallpapers, high quality fonts.

⇡ Conclusion

Almost all application developers for remote computer management provide free of charge for non-commercial use. And you need to recognize that for the usual tasks of the proposed functions is quite enough. Each of the applications is something attractive: To work with Microsoft Remote Desktop, you do not need to install additional software on a computer, Splashtop Remote provides sound transmission to a mobile device, PocketCloud is interesting to that offers several connection options. Finally, TeamViewer looks more attractive, as it has a separate mode to transfer files, it can work both on the local network and via the Internet, and does not impose restrictions on the number of computers to which you can connect.

Some of you read the name of the article, probably wondered: "Why do you need manage another computer via the Internet? " It turns out first and first of all the potential readers of my blog - pensioners and teapots.

Do not think that I want you to learn to be in order to intercept control over your neighbor's computer, the dog of whom his permanent lame brings you out of myself and began to make something incredible with him, hovering horror on him and his dog. Of course not. Yes, and without his knowledge, this management is unlikely to succeed. I will not intrigue, I'll go to the topic.

For what you need to manage another computer via the Internet

Of course, first-in-speed in order for someone more experienced and disassembling
Computer technique, for example, your friend or relative, living far from you, was able to help you solve you remotely with your PC.

Yes, even necessarily problems, but simply set up some kind of program or help the same application for a passport via the Internet to issue. Or another case: you are already a fairly experienced user and you need, while away, from your "road" laptop sometimes look at home PC.

At least in order for a document to print, which is only there. Or something else, you never know? This is where you need to manage others, that is, your home computer via the Internet.

Or take an enterprise having a local network. Imagine how you have to run a system administrator, if you need it somewhere to start the program or another PC from hanging out. And if there is hundreds of computers and not alone, yes in different buildings? Here it is necessary to be a sprinter. And then, after some time, my legs will erase. I hope I dispelled your doubts about the insensitiveness of this case?

Principle of operation of remote administration

Of course, these are not hacker things and different trojans. Although the methods of programs used to remotely manage the computer via the Internet are very similar. And they differ from viruses only by the fact that they act openly and naturally, with the mutual consent of the owners involved in this process of PCs.

They consist of two parts. The first is the server, the second is the client part. The server is installed on the computer to be monitored, and the client part to the one that the administrator uses. This remote administrators are very similar to the Trojan programs. But goals, as you understand, they have completely different.

Connect to a PC where this server is installed, you can only know its IP address, as well as a password that needs to be installed on it so as not to allow you to look there via the Internet who fell. And then this most "who fell" can work on your "brainchild" no worse than any Trojan.

Effect of the type of IP address and solving problems

If you have a static IP address to access the Internet, then there will be no problems here. But if it is static, but to be in the network of the house or district, and those, in turn, have a dynamic (that is, a changing from time to time) address to access the Internet, then difficulties may arise. Well, just if you are not a member of any network, but go online by the dynamic address - the same problem.

But these problems are solvable. There are, for example, special sites such as No-ip.com or Dyndns.com, where you can register, install the program - "update" and get through them a permanent address: user.no-ip.com. True, these sites are English-speaking, but if you need, I'm sure you can find others and Russian-speaking too.

This is for information, but in general I would not bother with it. Currently, there are many ready-made programs that each time all this technical work with the registration of the current address on its server takes on themselves and indicate which address to look for your PC on the Internet.

But if there is a need for a static IP address (for example, it is needed for a number of other reasons), then this can be done through its provider. Who does not know the provider is a provider of Internet services. We have in the city in Bashinformsvyazyi today the connection costs 150 rubles, the monthly fee of 50 rubles. Agree not such a great amount even for pensioners.

Opportunities after remote connection

I will not talk about the comforts that appear after that. This was said at the very beginning when we dealt with what it is necessary. And what specific opportunities associated directly with control? Here are the main of them:

  • see the desktop, or rather a copy, a remote PC on your screen;
  • intercept at any time the control of at least the keyboard at least with the mouse;
  • run any programs that are installed on the managed computer and install new ones;
  • open, and if you need and change files;
  • pump any files in direct and reverse directions over the Internet;

So, thanks to the remote administration, we get full control of another computer via the Internet. Practically unlimited control. Of course, this is with the complete consent of his host. Only for this requires the speed of the communication channel at least 256kbit / s and a special program.

Programs for managing another computer via the Internet

For these purposes there are enough programs as paid and free. I will list the most common and of course free:

  • Logmein Hamachi.

    Allows you to combine into your own virtual network via the Internet up to 16 PCs from different parts of the planet. In addition to management there are also a lot of other opportunities, up to the organization of network games;
  • Ultra VNC.

    Can organize remote control even when all other programs are powerless, but for beginners are very complex settings, and there is no support for the Russian language; / Li\u003e
  • AMMYY.

    Externally, the program is very much reminiscent of Team Viewer. But its principle is fundamentally different. It is attached to the "gland" PC, and therefore it is enough to allow the program to allow the program to a computer to the computer and in the future it will be able to connect to it without any requests.
  • Team Viever

    First of all, this program is good because it is completely indifferent to the static address or dynamic. Working with her, without exaggeration, is a hundred times easier than the native "remote assistant" of Windows. We only need to install a program on the PCs that we are going to use in this process and create your account in the Team Viewer service.

Installing Team Viever

There is nothing complicated here, but since my blog is designed primarily in pensioners and teapots, we will understand in detail and in some nuances will sharpen attention. In the first window, choose "Set":

On this, I think you can finish.

Good luck to you! Seeing fast meetings on the Personmen's blog pages.

Hello, friends. Today I will get acquainted with the unique program that each user should be. TeamViewer.program for remote computer management. What is she for you? Let's think ...

So, do you have internet and computer, logical? If the first problems almost never happens (it is either there, or it is not), then with the second constantly, something is happening.

Then the antivirus does not want to be updated, then the program is not installed or game. And maybe the program was installed, but you could not figure it out on my own.

It often happens that "Brake" the computer started, throws all sorts of winds about the lack of ...


Remote Control Computer - TeamViewer

Listed problems that arise from users of such a complex machine can be infinitely, they accumulate constantly, like a snowball and if they are not eliminated in time, then very soon you will disappear at all the desire to sit at the computer.

He will annoy you and infect (poor mouse - she is usually suffering primarily).

So what should I do if you are a professional in your business, but with computers you somehow did not work out, there is no time to delve or another excuse?

Everything is very simple - remember how in stagnant times every resident of the country of the Soviets was a friend who could get some deficit?

So today nothing has changed, only instead of "delivered" everyone should have a familiar disassembly in computers.




And they are - your children, grandchildren, colleagues for work, familiar acquaintances, friends ... Another thing, how will they help you if they live with you, at the other end of the city or in general - not in your city, country?

Elementary. Just sit at home, in front of your monitor, but for your computer and everything will be repaired and debug in 5 minutes.

Do not be surprised - it is possible very easy to implement. 21 century in the yard. You install TeamViewer, it generates your login (ID) and password, send them to ICQ, Skype, in an email letter or dictate on a mobile phone, as a last resort, your personal "hacker" and he, in whatever hole planet was not, It comes to your computer and finite everything.

You can only drink tea with candy and watch in your monitor for the actions of the assistant.

TeamViewer creates a virtual, protected tunnel between computers on the Internet and allows not only remotely picked up in foreign computers (by agreement of the owner), but also transfer any data (files, films, pictures, programs ...) to bypass any firewalls and other obstacles.

You can also watch the actions of other users beyond your computer during your absence, from the workplace, for example.

Remember we did surveillance system And spied at smoking children? So now you can change the angle and not look at them from the webcam, and on the monitor - their eyes.

Just be careful - the program supports except video and audio communication, there is a chance to make your kids with skiings if you want to digest them without warning.



"And where are you climbing, dear!?"

Conversely, if you understand computers, you probably are constantly asking for help. So TeamViewer is the best tool for providing this aid.

They went, did, gone - quickly, harshly and without quiz "What is it for what and why?" Do you understand me.

Convinced you to use this program to remotely access the computer? Then forward - install it and learn to use. It will take you for a few minutes just.

This paragraph depends on the degree of confidence in the assistant.


I did not install, but it is possible that you want to use this opportunity.





Do not wisely and write down the result of mental fence on the sheet - otherwise forget, as always and everyone forgets. Remember the easiest way to come up with a reliable password? English keyboard layout and typing looking at Russian buttons symbols. All ingenious is simple.


Also right for you. But by creating an account, you do not have to suffer every time with passwords and logins. The principle, as in ICQ - on the network, you can connect from the list of computers. Very convenient for helping parents - there is no need for them every time they are tormented by "complex" televisions.



Your number ID I am a subtera - it is not as simple as in the screenshot, of course.


On the local network without the Internet, in general, the song is space simply. It is only necessary to include support for it ...
