TightVNC

Remote access software, easy to use.

On many occasions we have to control a computer remotely, due to the fact that it is in another room or because it is hundreds of miles away. We can do this with any VNC software, like for example TightVNC.

  VNC software normally includes two important parts, the server part and the client part. TightVNC can control any Windows, Mac or Linux computer, even though the Windows version is a lot more advanced, because it includes characteristics like file sharing, that the other versions don't include.

  TightVNC takes its name from the simple data transmission codification, Tight. With is we can accomplish that using a PC as if it was in front of us doesn't become an ordeal. Once open, this software with GPL license, shows the desktop of the computer that we are controlling. What's more, TightVNC is compatible with the RFB protocol, that helps VNC programs to communicate between one another.

  One of the great features of this VNC client, is a client programed in Java, that due to this fact is compatible with any web browser.

  As a security element, TightVNC includes the possibility of using 2 passwords, one that offers complete control over the remote computer and another that only allows the use to read and view its contents.
