Remote Desktop Alternative
-
I have just started a contract and have to work with a remote computer as my development environment. Was wondering if there was a good option to the Microsoft Remote Desktop. The Microsoft software does provide multi-monitor support but it appears it is all or nothing. Is there something better? Update: I am not looking to replace the software on the remote computer, so needs to support RDP. I just want a client solution that works with RDP on the server. Therefore products like TeamViewer are useless.

I dunno if these are any better, but they are different! Have you Googled for "VNC" ? A few alternatives: http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx[^], http://www.uvnc.com/[^], http://www.tightvnc.com/[^]

Teamviewer rules. Vpn,file transfers, remote desktop, chat, voip, multiple attendants... It's free for home use. It works through firewalls. You can keep a list of your clients. You pay once, clients are free. Really useful!

I agree. TeamViewer is the best! :thumbsup:
Whether I think I can, or think I can't, I am always bloody right!
