The article talks about what a program is for accessing a remote computer, why it is needed, and in particular, one of them is called TeamViewer.
Remote access
With the development of computer technologies and increasing their availability, the need gradually arose for specialists to serve them. Of course, home and personal computers differ from their huge clumsy predecessors in simplicity and convenience, however, breakdowns and errors sometimes arise ones that are extremely difficult or impossible for an ordinary user to cope with. In addition, the level of knowledge is different for everyone.
Unlike other areas of activity, the personal presence of the master is not necessary to solve the problem (if it affects only the software part). This is how the function came about, and later the program for accessing the remote computer. So what does she do, when is it used, and when is it useless?
Definition
In fact, the role of such programs is to get full control over the right computer. And, by the way, they are used not only to solve problems, but also in a number of other cases, for example, for control, ease of control of various systems, etc.
It looks like this: a program for accessing a remote computer captures the image of someone else's “desktop” and controls I / O devices, after which it broadcasts all this via a local network or the Internet to the end user. The capabilities of such technology are not inferior to real management. Of course, when it comes only to the software part, unfortunately, physically affecting the equipment remotely is not yet possible.
Application
Most often, such programs are used in large enterprises, where the system administrator needs to control a large number of computers, and physically bypassing each one for a long time is impractical. In practice, usually everything is limited to correcting errors of illiterate users, or performing actions that require administrator rights.
In addition, a program for accessing a remote computer is also needed as a way to control and manage a server, database, or other device that is far away, or requires frequent, but small, interference with work or settings.
Teamviewer
Gradually, similar programs were also liked by ordinary users who needed to quickly and easily check someone else's computer or do something with its system. In recent years, a program called TeamViewer has gained immense popularity.
The TeamViewer remote access program differs from its competitors in the first place by its simplicity of operation and ease of launching with configuration. It is completely free (for non-commercial use) and its latest versions do not even require installation. You can find it on the official website, and it is advisable to download it only from it, because otherwise there is always a chance to get a file infected with viruses.
Another advantage of this program is its ease of setup. After starting the software will generate a numerical login and password, knowing which, any other user can connect for remote access.
List of Remote Access Programs
If you make a list of the most popular and best programs of this kind, then it will look like this:
- TimeViever.
- Splashtop
- Chrome Remote Desktop.
- Microsoft RDC
All of them fulfill one goal - this is convenient remote access, but they differ slightly and only in some small things.
Total
Remote PC control is a convenient feature that is extremely difficult to do without these days. But, unfortunately, this is not a panacea, and these programs may not help in all situations.
