Distant Desktop

Nowadays, working remotely is the new normal so developers have come with more and more straightforward solutions to allow quick remote access. Remote control applications not only that allow anyone to access centralized resources from the distance, but they are also perfect for troubleshooting sessions and help desk assistance.

Suggestively called Distant Desktop, this application makes it possible for you to control any PC remotely, regardless of location. With such an application, you can break down the geographical barriers and get instant access to resources, no matter where you are.

There is no need to go through a setup with Distant Desktop. In fact, its developers created one of the simplest remote desktop control applications out there. Nevertheless, keep in mind that the application must be launched on both the local and the remote PC for everything to work.

When launching Distant Desktop, a small window is displayed, comprising an ID and a password. The unique credentials are automatically generated for the local computer and must be shared with the remote PC for it to get authorized for remote access.

Alternatively, if you want to control a remote PC, then you must press the “Connect...” button and enter the credentials provided by the target computer user. After adding the application as a firewall exception on both ends, the remote session is initiated. You can start one or multiple connections at the same time and each is displayed in a new tab.

Working with Distant Desktop is quite easy. The remote desktop is shown, allowing you to interact with all the items exactly as if you were in front of the target computer. At the same time, the controlled PC running Distant Desktop can see the number of remote connections.

Files can be shared from one computer to the other without a lot of hassle. You can either send a file on the local PC or send a sharing request to the remote host.

The built-in chat allows you to communicate with the other computer in writing but keep in mind that you can also record an audio message and send it.

Distant Desktop provides one of the easiest ways to access a PC remotely, without having to go through an installation process. Aside from file sharing and integrated chatting, one of its important advantages is its support for multiple simultaneous connections, on both ends.

On the other hand, in the so-called demo mode, incoming connections are allowed, while remote control of the local PC is restricted. This makes Distant Desktop perfect for online lessons and presentations.
