Ben Nash Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I am looking for a free remote desktop software that requires no download on the clients side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Windows already has it built-in... so why the need for "more" software? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_bertrand Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 NX or VNC are both free and could be used, however remote desktop is already there ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx is a nice popular one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lithium Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Neither options apply to the OP, as he asked for no downloads on client side! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spudinski Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It's called RDP, or remote desktop protocol developer by Microsoft: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_Desktop_Protocol I use it a lot for going from Debian to Win8. The only problem is, you have to patch the OS to enable multi-user mode, but if that isn't needed, everything is fine. You do have to enable Remote Desktop Assistance for this to work, but other than that, just have to host get an RDP client. On Linux, Remmina is quite good. On Windows, well, there's a built in client. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegman991 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The software that is built in only allows for your desktop to be taken control of. If he is not using a windows professional or windows ultimate os then he won't be able to make use of the built in software. Because the basic os(Wndows Home Premium) doesn't come with the ability to take control of another desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
