Dear readers, today we will talk about what is remote access to a computer and everything that is adjacent to this issue. Although the topic seems very extensive and complex, in fact, everything is quite simple. There is nothing supernatural in the remote, so do not be alarmed and gather your strength into a fist.

With the help of special programs, the computer can be controlled remotely.

So, remote control of a computer allows you to broadcast a desktop PC connected via the Internet, which can be at a very long distance. You can not only see a picture of what is happening on the screen of another device, but also control how it is your monitor. For example, you are sitting at work and did not have time to reprint a document, but you urgently need to leave. Then, you can connect to your work computer and work while sitting at home and sipping warm tea with lemon. Agree, this is a very convenient feature! Let's look at another small example that can make life easier for some.

What is remote access?

If you are good at using a computer, then friends, relatives, or neighbors will most likely be asked to correct some small change on their device. Of course, if the neighbor does not go that far, then a brother or sister can live very far away from you: you will go longer than to correct any problem. For example, they may ask how to turn on the sound if everything is connected to their laptop. Or how to send an email. In general, there may be a lot of examples, but the essence remains the same: you can connect to their computer and check everything without leaving home. Naturally, some issues cannot be solved in this way, but it is possible to ease the task somewhat, because most of these problems are fixed easily and simply.

With these examples, we tried to show what areas remote computer or laptop management can help you with. Of course, you can bring even more life situations, but we will not go so far. Before considering the most convenient and popular programs for this type of connection, let's find out what is necessary for their work.

Internet connection required

1. Active internet connection. Without it, you will not be able to work with any program for remote access. And it is desirable that the connection speed is high enough for better image transmission. Otherwise, you can simply not see the picture, as it was transmitted in low quality.
2. Actually, the program itself. You will need to choose one for all devices from which you are going to connect and to which you will connect.

Nothing more is required of you! Now let's look at two of the most convenient, stable and popular utilities for connecting to remote. We will not discuss their differences: only their installation and connection. In the end, before the conclusion, we will consider some features of use of these applications.

Teamviewer

• Go to the site //www.teamviewer.com/ru/ and use the special button to download the installation package of the program.
• Following the prompts on the screen of your monitor, install the utility on your computer in a separate folder.
• After successful installation of the software, a shortcut to launch on the desktop will appear, and the application itself will open automatically.
• On the left there will be a window with your data: login and password to enter. It is valid only until you close the program or restart the computer. With each new opening a new pair is created for entry.

• There is a field for entering data from another computer: you can enter your work, for example. Next, a window will appear to enter the password, after successfully entering which you will see a screen display of your work computer or laptop. Please note that you can connect by requesting confirmation from another device without entering a password. This is done using the "Request Confirmation" button.
• On the right you will see a panel to log in to the account. When using one account, you can set up your list of devices on which the same record is. This will greatly facilitate your work. How this is done, you will learn in the penultimate block “Tips for using programs”.
• That's all! The fifth paragraph fully describes the connection process, after which you can safely control the other device from your computer.

AeroAdmin

1. Go to the web address //www.aeroadmin.com/en/downloads.html and download the installer program AeroAdmin.
2. Launch it and use the screen prompts to install the utility on your PC or laptop.
3. At the end of the installation, run AeroAdmin.
4. The interface is somewhat reminiscent of TeamViewer: there is a block for entering a login and password, an area with your data, as well as a graph for entering a special account. Therefore, in the same detail we will not describe anything.

Tips for using programs

1. To configure remote access to the desktop via the Internet, you need to install one of the programs on all devices that will participate in the control.
2. As with each new entry into the program a new login and password pair is created. That is, you need to make sure that this data is available to you. You can take a picture at work before going out, write it down on a piece of paper, and so on.
3. If this option is not suitable for you, then you will need to create an account for the utility being used and log in on all devices. Next, set up a connection to a computer without a password or set your own (it is recommended to use this option). Then, you will see the entire list of computers, laptops and other devices using your account. You can connect to them faster and easier.
4. Please note that, for example, TeamViewer can be downloaded to an iOS device, on a device running the Android operating system. That is, you can control your computer from an iPhone, iPad, Android-smartphone or tablet.
5. Both programs have a number of functions: transfer files from one device to another, communicate through the built-in chat, the ability to restart the computer and automatically connect after that without entering a password, and much more.

Let's sum up
