Most modern operating systems have built in remote access - you can't get any more free than that.

1141295 2010-10-03 09:13:00 TeamViewer, Remote Desktop (RDP) comes with Windows, TightVNC, LogMeIn. Each slightly different with different pros / cons. Chilling_Silence (9)

Windows Remote Assistance doesn't, nor does TightVNC.
But Teamviewer is usually the easiest to get running.


However if there is nobody on the other end, TightVNC would be the best, you can just install the server as a service and leave it running all the time, ready to connect to when you need it.

The others need someone to manually accept your connection etc so it does not work if there is nobody there.

TeamViewer also has a service mode. You can set it up with a really good permanent password and connect to the remote PC anytime (as long as it's turned on and connected to the internet of course). I frequently connect to my brother's PC late at night when nobody's using it to perform maintenance tasks, etc. I'm using the Linux version of TeamViewer and my brother's PC is running WinXP and it all works perfectly.

Didn't know that, thanks for correcting me.
