Remote Access to computers is nothing new and most of you are aware of it. But how many of you have tried remotely accessing a PC at your home or office? I guess only a few of you. Remote Access enables logging into a computer located remotely, transfer files, share desktop, print or perform maintenance tasks without ever being physically in front of a PC located miles away.

Remote PC Access not only does save time but also saves you from travelling to the remote computer to perform some tasks on it. Image you are confined to bed due to an accident and your boss wants a very important job done by you which depends on file located at your office PC. With remote PC, you simply login to your office PC, download the file to your laptop/PC, work on it an copy the resultant file to your office PC : without ever moving off your bed!

Searching for remote access service options, I came across RemotePC : a secure and simple way to access your computer connected to the Internet from anywhere in the world! You can read your emails, work on the documents and resources and retrieve important documents or data files from your home or office computer while on road.

From your computer (Viewer) you can view the desktop of the RemotePC enabled computer (Host) and using the Viewer computer’s keyboard and mouse launch applications, read emails and edit documents as though you are directly working on that remote computer (Host).

The entire communication between the Host and the Viewer is encrypted using 128-bit RC4/SSL to ensure security during remote access.
