If you choose the run option instead of the install option, you're given a user code and password that the client needs to reach the computer. The host has two options: download the DWAgent, and then run it for on-demand, one-time access (great for tech support), or install it for permanent remote access (ideal if it's your own computer). I list it as #1 for two reasons: it's incredibly easy to use for both myself and the people on the other end of the session, and it has useful tools I need to identify and fix problems remotely. This is the tool I used the last several times I remoted into a family member's computer for remote tech support. The host installs or temporarily runs the program, and the client logs in via any web browser to run commands, control the screen, or control files and folders. Limited maximum bandwidth for free users.ĭWService is a free and open-source project that truly simplifies remote access.
