remote client. How to set up remote access to a computer: three easy ways

Good day!

In today's article, I would like to focus on remote control of a computer under Windows 7, 8, 8.1. In general, such a task can arise in a variety of circumstances: for example, to help relatives or friends set up a computer if they are poorly versed in it; organize remote assistance at a company (enterprise, department) so that you can quickly solve user problems or simply monitor them (so that they don’t play and go to “contacts” during working hours), etc.

You can remotely control a computer with dozens of programs (or maybe hundreds, such programs appear like “mushrooms after the rain”). In this article, we will focus on some of the best. So, let's begin…

Team Viewer

This is one of the best PC remote control software. Moreover, it has a number of advantages in relation to similar programs:

It is free for non-commercial use;

Allows you to share files;

Has a high degree of protection;

The computer will be controlled as if you were sitting at it yourself!

When installing the program, you can specify what you will do with it: install to manage this computer, or manage and allow you to connect. It is also necessary to indicate what will be the use of the program: commercial / non-commercial.

After installing and running Team Viewer, you can get started.

To connect to another computer need to:

Install and run utilities on both computers;

Enter the ID of the computer to which you want to connect (usually 9 digits);

Then enter the access password (4 digits).

If the data is entered correctly, you will see the "desktop" of the remote computer. Now you can work with it as if it were your "desktop".

The Team Viewer window is the desktop of the remote PC.

Radmin

One of the best programs for administering computers on a local network and for providing assistance and support to users of this network. The program is paid, but there is a test period of 30 days. At this time, by the way, the program works without restrictions in any functions.

The principle of work in it is similar to Team Viewer. The Radmin program consists of two modules:

Radmin Viewer - a free module with which you can manage computers on which the server version of the module is installed (see below);

Radmin Server is a paid module that is installed on the PC that will be managed.

A mmyy Admin

A relatively new program (but about 40,000 people around the world have already met and started using it) for remote control of computers.

Main advantages:

Free for non-commercial use;

Easy setup and use even for novice users;

High degree of security of transmitted data;

Compatible with all popular OS Windows XP, 7, 8;

Works with installed Firewall, through proxy.

Surely not every PC user (especially a beginner) knows that a computer can be safely controlled from a distance, and fully! Those. as if you are sitting and working at your own computer, but being at a distance, and doing it, for example, from a tablet or another computer. This is very convenient and, for example, I use this opportunity regularly. Why do I need it? I work a lot on the Internet, but I can’t always sit at my computer. Sometimes you need to go somewhere or to someone, but some urgent business appears and I need my computer to open some program, run something, look. Carrying a computer with you always and everywhere is very problematic. It weighs about 4 kg, which feels good when carried :) But on the other hand, I always have a tablet or smartphone with me, from which I can connect to my computer at any time and from anywhere, which I leave at home turned on. And in this way, I can work on it as if I were at home. Another reason for remote access is the ability to ask some friend or colleague to help you deal with any problems in the settings, programs on your computer through remote access. Also, you yourself can help someone solve some problem on a computer by connecting remotely to this person. And last but not least... It happens that the computer you need is in a hard-to-reach place or you need to go to it. In this case, it is also easiest to connect to it remotely and you're done!

This article of mine will just talk about how to remotely control a computer from any device, and with the help of this guide you will learn how to do it easily even as a complete beginner! We will consider the most, in my opinion, the most convenient program for this business - TeamViewer, and today I will talk about its main most necessary and useful functions. Yes, it is also free for non-commercial use! There are only 2 conditions for remote control of devices: the presence of an Internet connection on both devices, and the presence of the TeamViewer program on both devices.

To date, the TeamViewer program is supported, one might say, by all devices:

    Smartphones based on Android operating systems, Windows Phone 8;

    Tablets on the same Android systems, Windows Phone 8;

    iPad of all modifications;

    Computers based on the operating system Mac, Linux, Windows.

For all these devices, you can download the TeamViewer application for free.

It is also interesting that you can manage and vice versa - smartphones and tablets from a desktop computer.

So, let's start step by step to deal with the program, starting with the process of its installation.

Installing TeawViewer

    First you need to download the program itself. It is best to download from the official website, as the latest version will always be posted there. We go to the official TeamViewer website at the link:

    teamviewer

    At the top of the page that opens, you can’t help but notice the large “Free full version” button. Here we press it:

    After downloading the file, find it on your computer and run it. The file will have the name: "TeamViewer_Setup_ru":

    In the next window of the program, you will be prompted to select the option to use TeamViewer. These settings can be changed at any time after installation. If you want to control this computer (on which you are installing the program) remotely, then immediately select the appropriate item. Otherwise, just choose "Install".

    Below it is necessary to select the item “Personal non-commercial use”, since the program is distributed free of charge only for this use case.

    At the end, check the box "Show advanced settings" and click the "Accept - next" button:

    Windows User Account Control may ask you for confirmation to continue with the installation. Just click "Yes":

    In the next window, check the path where the program will be installed, and change it if desired. But I recommend leaving the default path. The options below can be omitted. All of them, if necessary, can be set after installation. Press the "Finish" button:

    A quick process of installing the program will begin, which will take from a few seconds to a minute.

This completes the installation of TeamViewer! Let's move on to its settings and application.

Setting up TeamViewer

Setting up uncontrolled access to the computer:


Now we can freely control this computer from any other device, wherever we are in the Internet access zone :) But for this we will deal with the information that we (or anyone else) need to know so that we can connect to this computer remotely.

Data required for remote control of any device:

Perhaps the most important thing is to know the data by which you can connect remotely to the current computer.

To connect to this computer from another computer / device with TeamViewer installed, you only need to know:

    ID of this computer;

    The password to access this computer through TeamViewer (not to be confused with the Windows login password!).

All this data is located in the main window of the program:

According to my example (see the image above), in order to remotely access this computer, at the moment I need to specify on the remote device ID: 900 288 832 and password: 6sx71k.

The ID in TeamViewer for each specific computer does not change. Those. the one that is indicated in the window you and will always indicate when connecting remotely. And there are 2 types of passwords in TeamViewer: temporary (random) and personal (permanent). Now more about this:

I hope you understand the difference in passwords :)

Now let's go through the main most important settings of the program.

Basic program settings:

    To go to all the program settings, open the "Additional" menu at the top and select the "Options" item:

    We will immediately go to the "Basic" tab. Here you can enable or disable the automatic launch of the TeamViewer program when Windows boots. If you are going to control this computer remotely, then I strongly recommend leaving this item enabled. Then you do not have to start TeamViewer manually, and even more so if you are far away and TeamViewer is not running on this computer, you will not be able to connect to it.

    Below you can see a message that you are linked to the previously created account. If you click the "Delete" button, you can break this link.

    On this tab, there are no more important settings that are not set by default. Go to the next tab "Security".

    On the "Security" tab, we can change the "Personal" password by entering a new one and repeating it at the very top. Below you can set up a "random" password by giving it the number of characters. By default, such a password will always be issued from 6 characters.

    In the last section, “Rules for connecting to this computer,” you can allow or deny remote login using a Windows password. It is safest to leave this parameter at the default, i.e. - "Is not allowed". The easiest way to connect is through the TeamViewer password and it will be safer that way.

    Tab "Remote control". There are important settings here. All these settings are global - i.e. for any connection. But if you created an account for yourself (as mentioned), then for each computer added to your personal list, you can set your own connection settings, but more on that later.

    Here's what the settings on this tab look like:

    At the very top, you can adjust the image quality when connecting to a remote computer. It is better to leave either "Automatic quality selection" or "Optimize speed". I always set speed optimization to connect to a remote machine and work with almost no delays even via mobile Internet. There is only one minus - the image quality (how we see the remote computer) will not be the best, but sometimes this is not even noticeable.

    Below, as you can see, the option "Hide wallpaper on a remote machine" is enabled. This means that when you connect to a remote computer, the desktop background there will simply turn black. I always leave this option enabled so as not to waste resources on loading a sometimes large background image.

    Even lower are additional settings that are configured for everyone according to their preferences. For example, if the "Play computer sounds and music" function is enabled, you will accordingly hear all the sounds of the remote computer.

    It can be useful to enable the "Transmit keyboard shortcut" option. If this option is enabled, then by connecting to a remote computer, you will be able to use your usual keyboard shortcuts. For example, a quick opening of the task manager is “Ctrl + Shift + Esc”.

    In general, here you set it up as you need.

    Let's go to the "Computers and Contacts" tab.

    On the "Computers and Contacts" tab, your account settings will be displayed, in which all the remote computers and users you added will then be visible. On this tab, you can change account information, as well as computer display settings.

On this we have analyzed the basic settings. Now let's move on to the main thing - remote computer control.

The principle of remote computer control

We can control a computer or any other device (TeamViewer must also be installed and configured on them!) We can, as I said, from anywhere where there is access to the Internet and it is enough for us to know the ID of the controlled device and its password (random or permanent ). Knowing these 2 parameters, we can control the computer.

Let's try to connect to the computer remotely:

    In the main TeamViewer window, where the "Manage computer" section is located, specify the ID of the computer that we will manage in the "Partner ID" field.

    If you created an account, then we can immediately add the computer to our Favorites list by clicking the star button:

    We will see a window for accessing the computer that we add to the list:

    In the image above, I have marked those fields and lists where it is best to make changes:

    • Specify the password if you know the "personal" password of the remote computer. Otherwise, leave the field blank.

      Specify the network name of the remote computer (for your own convenience). It will be displayed in the list of your computers.

      Optionally, you can specify a description of the added remote computer for convenience, if you have a large list of them.

      In the "Window" list, I selected "Full Screen". This means that when connected to a remote computer, TeamViewer will display the remote computer in full screen. It will look like you are fully working on that computer. You can also select another option, such as "Windowed Mode", and then the remote computer will be displayed in the window.

      In the "Quality" list, I always select "Optimize speed" so as not to sacrifice performance, especially when connecting with slow internet.

      "Identification Mode" is best to always set to "TeamViewer Identification". Then it will be enough for you to know the password set for this or that computer in the TeamViewer program to connect to it.

    The remaining settings can be left with the value "Inherited", because, as a rule, there is no need for them and, in extreme cases, you can configure them at any time.

    When the settings are set, click the "OK" button.

    The computers that you will add to your list will be visible in a separate window, as in my example in the image below:

    In the example, I added a computer named "Test TeamViewer".

    Now that the computer is on the list, to connect to it, simply double-click on its name with the left mouse button. If you immediately specified the password, then it will not be requested and the connection will immediately occur (within a couple of seconds).

    Another way to quickly connect to a computer, if for some reason you did not create an account and do not add computers to your favorites list, is to simply enter the ID in the appropriate field and click "Connect to Partner":

    By default, the "Remote control" mode is just what we need. And we can turn on the “File Transfer” mode at any time already during a remote session.

    Now a window will be displayed where you need to enter a password to connect to a remote computer:

    Enter the password and click the "Login" button.

    The connection usually takes a couple of seconds, but it depends, respectively, on the speed of the Internet on both sides. After connecting to a remote computer, the window will look like this:

    As you can see, the screen of the remote computer is black. As you probably remember, in the settings we left the option "Hide wallpaper on a remote machine" enabled. As a result, the wallpaper on the remote machine turned black, which will reduce resource consumption, and immediately after disconnecting from the remote computer, its desktop wallpaper will return to its previous appearance.

It's so simple and easy to connect to a remote computer :)

You will be able to fully control the computer at any distance, and at the same time it will look exactly like you are sitting at that computer.

Let me remind you once again that the same can be done from almost any device. If you, for example, have an iPad, then download TeamViewer to it (it's always free!), enter the ID and password of the remote computer, and that's it! You will connect and be able to control it directly from the tablet, and it is also very convenient!

Now let's look at some of the functions available to us during a remote session.

Functions available during a remote work session on a computer using TeamViewer:

So, we are connected to a remote computer. Above we see a panel with a set of functions. Let's go through the most important of them:

    The button numbered "1" allows you to immediately break the connection with the remote computer.
    After any end of the TeamViewer session on both devices, a window will appear stating that the free session has ended. Just always click "OK":

    You can also instantly disconnect the connection while at that remote computer. For example, someone remotely assists you in setting up the system or fixes some kind of problem. If suddenly that person began to do some actions on your computer that, in your opinion, he absolutely does not need to do, then you can break the connection with just one button in the form of a cross (see image below):

    The button numbered "2" allows you to hide this panel of remote session functions.

    The button numbered "3" allows you to instantly switch to full screen mode, which I use in 99% of cases.

    A very useful feature is the transfer of files from a local computer to a remote computer and vice versa. You can do this by simply dragging the desired files from your computer window to the remote computer window.

    Another way is to use a special manager - "File Transfer". It opens from the same panel, which is pinned at the top. Select "File Transfer" and then "File Transfer" again:

    A special manager will open. There is also nothing complicated here. We indicate from which folder of the local computer the file will be transferred, then we specify the folder where exactly the file will be transferred to the remote computer. Then we select the file itself on the local computer, which we will transfer and click the "Submit" button:

    The file will be transferred to the remote computer. In my example, I transferred an image file called "" from the Downloads folder to the desktop of a remote computer:

    After transferring the necessary data, the file transfer manager can be closed, and a window will appear with statistics on the transfer of your files, where you need to click "Close" again:

    Or you can hide this window.

    There are 3 more very useful features that are available during a remote session. This is the possibility of voice communication, video broadcasting and chat support.

    All these 3 functions can be activated by selecting the Audio/Video menu:


    Here you can change the scaling, for example, enable full screen mode. Here, in the “Quality” submenu, you can select the quality you need to display content on a remote computer, for example, by turning on “Optimize speed”. Also here you can change the resolution of the remote computer (for example, if the resolution of your local computer is very different) and show / hide the wallpaper on the remote machine. Everything else is not so essential and necessary ...

Well, here, perhaps, is all the most useful thing you need to know about how to remotely control a computer using TeamViewer :) Cool program, isn't it? :)

Most importantly, it is extremely simple, convenient, even a beginner can handle it. And, of course, it's free! In general, to be honest, I have not seen a better worthy replacement for the TeamViewer program.

And now I think that in a couple of weeks I will already draw up an article, and you will be able to get acquainted with the next testing of the new autoclicker!

Well, now I say goodbye to you for a week ... Good luck to you and always in a good mood! ;)

Conclusion

In this article, we have examined the main three programs for accessing a remote computer, figured out how to install, configure and use these programs.

All programs deserve attention and have the right to life and further development. Each of them is good in its own way and has its own differences, although all of these programs perform the main role of connecting a remote desktop well.

The main points when working with these programs, I will still outline:

teamviewer works great and functional, but still for commercial use, its cost is high;

LiteManager more complicated in settings, on my computer it had a low connection speed, especially at low Internet speeds, but it is free when connecting up to 30 computers and the ability to remotely control a computer is invisible to the user;

AmmyyAdmin a simple program with the most necessary functionality, it starts without installation, but is free only up to 15 hours a month.

By the way! If you want me to provide you with computer assistance using these programs, go to my section.

That's all for me, please write in the comments which remote access program you used and which one you liked the most.
