GotoHTTP

In today's world, working from home is the new normal to many. Consequently, remote access tools are on the rise as well. Usually, software in this category installs software on both ends: the controlled computer and the source workstation. Aiming to make remote access easier and faster, GotoHTTP delivers a lightweight software utility designed for online remote control via a web browser, regardless of the platform.

With a very small footprint, GotoHTTP is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures and requires no installation. The downloaded package must be launched on the remote computer, the one you want to control remotely. The application automatically generates a unique computer ID and a unique access code to allow remote control. You can copy both the ID and the code to the clipboard with the click of a button.

To initiate remote access, all you have to do is enter the computer ID and the access code on the GotoHTTP webpage, which can be easily accessed via any web browser, on any platform, be it mobile or desktop: Linux, Mac, Windows. Once the connection is established, you get to control the remote PC as if you were standing right in front of it.

There is a floating shortcuts window that includes one-click access to common locations and tools in Windows. As such, you can quickly access the Start Menu, the Desktop or open File Explorer. It enables you to launch the “Run” window and the command prompt, the Windows registry editor, the Task Manager and the Control Panel.

You will surely notice the retractable toolbar in the upper side of the window, which bundles a few tools and controls. From here, you can press the CTRL-ALT-DEL key combination, capture the remote control’s sound or initiate file transfers. If granted by the app running on the remote PC, microphone and camera access is available, and so is clipboard synchronization. Sharing messages with the remote workstation is also possible, and so is taking screenshots.

GotoHTTP provides a simple remote access and control software tool that is easier to use and configure than others. It allows access from anywhere and any platform via any web browser with a good Internet connection, without having to install additional software. Please be aware that the GotoHTTP app features unattended access, meaning it is configured to automatically launch at system boot to facilitate quick remote access.
