29.08.2016
Today, almost every device has access to global network. This is very convenient and opens up huge opportunities that some people don’t even know about. Professionals enjoy many features operating systems and software, but the average user may not be aware that you can control your home computer from a distance.
A feature such as remote access will be useful to everyone. Wherever you are: on the road or at work, at home or while traveling, you can always connect to required computer. This function may be needed in thousands of cases, here are some of them:
- If necessary, connect to home computer while at work to send forgotten documents to yourself or vice versa;
- Helping a friend with a broken program or setting it up;
- Connecting to use a remote machine. Often necessary when there is a need to work under different operating systems;
- While servicing large local network, connecting to client computers to update or install software;
- Connect to the server to make settings changes;
- By using software, connecting to any part of multi-peer networks or organizing access to files via the Internet;
- Conducting conferences and presentations.
As you can see, there are many solutions and opportunities that remote access to a computer opens up. Among the unnamed little things, you can also add the functions of photographing the screen or rebooting and turning off the computer from a distance.
How to organize remote computer control
To do this, you need to prepare the system in advance. The fact is that this service is disabled by default for security reasons and because most users do not use it. Depending on the purposes for which you need remote access to your computer, there are several options for setting it up:
- By installing the specialized program AeroAdmin, Radmin or Team Viewer;
- Using standard OS Windows tools (remote access service).
In order to organize remote control of a computer, you need to understand that two systems are needed to connect. One of them must be configured as a server, and the second must have a client program or service running to organize the connection.
Remote access using AeroAdmin
AeroAdmin main functions:
- Connects to computers behind NAT
- Built-in support messages
- Transferring files
- Voice chat
- Contact book
- Uncontrolled access
- Total AES + RSA encryption
- Two-factor authentication.
- Unlimited parallel sessions
Connection is possible using a unique computer ID (in in this case it doesn’t matter whether the computers are on the same local network or different ones), or directly by IP address.
AeroAdmin provides 2-factor authentication. In addition to manual mode acceptance, incoming connections can be accepted by ID and password, which is a big plus for security. AeroAdmin also blocks attempts to guess a password or computer ID.
AeroAdmin is ideal for cases of spontaneous and regular technical support, as it allows you to connect with a minimum number of steps. It is very similar in functionality and appearance to Team Viewer, but is completely free for both corporate users and individuals. persons in the starting functionality.
Remote access to a computer using standard Windows tools
In order to be able to connect to a computer running the Windows operating system, you must perform the following steps:
- First, you need to check whether the service required for the remote connection function is enabled. To do this, go to the Start menu and select Control Panel. In the panel that opens, look for the “Administration” item, and in it “Services”.
![](https://i1.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/02-administrirovanie.jpg)
Find “Remote Desktop Services” in the list.
![](https://i1.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/03-sluzhbyi.jpg)
This service must be set to Enabled or Automatic. If the status is “Disabled”, you need to go to the service settings and change the status. After this, you should restart your computer and proceed to the next step.
- After making sure that the service is running and there are no problems with the server, you need to allow remote connection in the settings. To do this, open the “Control Panel” again and look for the “System” setting in it.
In the menu on the right you need to find the item “Setting up remote access”.
![](https://i0.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/05-sistema-i-bezopasnost.jpg)
Now you should select one of the items shown in the figure below.
![](https://i2.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/06-svoystva-sistemyi.jpg)
The choice depends on the version of the operating system with which you are going to connect to your computer. If you are unsure, or the version is lower than 7, be sure to choose option 1. However, for security reasons, it is recommended to use the second one.
- It is very important not to forget to assign users who are allowed to remotely control the computer. The administrator is given this right by default. But you need to remember that remote access is allowed only to users with a password. If a password is not set, the Windows operating system will not allow the connection.
That's it! The system is configured and ready to provide access to the remote user.
To connect from another computer to a pre-prepared server, you do not need to install anything. To connect, you only need to start the service described in Point 1. The client program for organizing the connection is available in OS Windows by default.
To launch it, you need to open the “Start” menu, select “All Programs” and find “Accessories” among them. From standard programs select the one we need: “Remote Desktop Connection”.
Now we have a client program ready for connection. There are a lot of settings in it. Using them, you can adjust the display quality on your screen: worsening it when bad signal, as well as to save traffic, or vice versa, improving it to get a brighter and clearer picture.
![](https://i2.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/08-podklyuchenie-k-udalenomu-rabochemu-stolu.jpg)
The main thing that is needed to connect is to enter the “Computer name” or its IP address, as well as identification data. If network address and the username was entered correctly, then the next step is to authorize on the remote computer (enter the connection password for the selected username).
Remote computer control using Team Viewer
Team Viewer is specialized program for organizing remote access networks. Among its advantages among analogues, including Windows tools, it is worth noting the software’s ability to connect to absolutely any networks behind any protections and firewalls. Some administrators large networks block the ability to install Team Viewer due to its capabilities.
For this program to work, you will need to install it on both sides. That is, client programs on one computer and server programs on another. What is especially interesting is that the software can be used absolutely free of charge within the framework of personal and home use.
In order to be able to connect remotely, you must do the following:
- Download the server and client from the official website.
- Installing the program is simple and intuitive. But to use it, you need to register. Registration does not oblige you to anything. But in this way, Team Viewer will record the number of connections and frequency of use of the program in order to be able to block you if you have violated the license agreement and are using the software for commercial purposes.
After installing the server, you need to configure it. There are many connection settings:
- Ability to limit connection speed;
- Selecting the ports and Team Viewer servers to use;
- The ability to hide the program or close its reconfiguration with a password;
- Selecting graphic and sound parameters;
- And the most important thing is to enter your username and password.
To connect via Team Viewer there is no need to have a dedicated IP address, as is the case with standard means Windows, because the connection occurs using a special code generated by the server. This is very convenient, especially for those who do not have a static or white address. In addition to this code, you will need a password, which is also generated.
![](https://i0.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/10-okno-team-wiever.jpg)
Among the advantages of the program it is worth noting:
- The ability to connect to the server from absolutely any device using a client for Android, Mac and Linux;
- Installation secure connection from anywhere in the world without installing a client using a regular Web browser;
- Excellent operating speed without any slowdowns at any distance, thanks to intermediate servers;
- High functionality, including the organization of a secure VPN tunnel.
Remote access to a computer using Radmin
The Radmin program is a kind of simplified analogue of Team Viewer. It is easy to set up and control. According to the developers, there should be nothing superfluous in a program that provides remote access to a computer. Its installation is simple and accessible to every user. It is provided as a demo version for 30 days, after which it requires registration.
![](https://i1.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/11-brauzer-radmin.jpg)
Radmin is different from similar programs high speed work and minor requirements. IN background it is practically invisible and does not show any unnecessary messages when connected. To monitor a remote screen, this is probably best software, which has no analogues.
In addition, I would like to note the level of security. By remotely controlling your computer when Radmin help, you don't have to worry about problems with unauthorized connections.
![](https://i1.wp.com/candygeek.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/12-nastroyki-radmin.jpg)
Also, speaking about the advantages of software, do not forget about stability. Both server and client software can work 24 hours a day without failures or problems.
RESULT

If you notice that a service conflicts with your antivirus, add it to the list of exceptions in your antivirus settings.
Many users wonder whether it is possible to conduct hidden management using TeamViewer. There is no answer to this question. If you need to manage your computer covertly, then you need utilities such as Ammyy Admin , LiteManager And Radmin. These utilities may work no warning signs on the remote machine and manage the PC as a service or process in Windows.
Managing Windows XP from a smartphone on Android and Windows Phone

As for RDP, for settings it is not the standard Windows dialog that is used, but the tools built into the utility. At the same time, the "Network" tab allows you to select codecs and color resolution, which is useful if the remote computer is connected to the Internet at low speed.
Supremo Remote Desktop
Supremo Remote Desktop is a convenient portable utility specifically designed to provide remote assistance users. The program operates only under operating systems of the Windows family.
The application does not require installation. You can download it absolutely free from the developer’s website. Before you start, the program must be running on both computers. Traditionally, there are two modes: server and client. To start the first option, you need to click on the "Start" button.
