Anybody have any recommends for PCAnywhere-type services? I thought there was a YC company that did that sort of thing, but at any rate, anybody have any preferred services? VNC might also be acceptable (I've used TightVNC elsewhere before). Assume Windows on both ends. *Edit: Oh...and on the cheap, preferably, but not to the extreme that it's at the expense of quality / security. |
personally, I do everything in Linux in a shell. The only GUI I use on a regular basis is the web browser. With SSH, unless your connection is just horrible, it's difficult to tell if you are working locally or on a box hundreds of miles away. But if you want a GUI, that doesn't help you. Use RDP.
They're kind of 2 different approaches. If you own and control both endpoints, then VNC or RDP is likely the better way to go. If you're trying to connect to various end-point PCs that move around a lot and don't want to deal with firewall issues, then things like Go To My PC or copilot are going to be better, but the two approaches aren't really competitive, they solve different problems.
At any rate...this post isn't really getting me anywhere. :P Outside of copilot, nobody has even said a specific piece of software to use (except one for mac, which isn't terribly useful).
