trying to manage my folding PC's from work/when i'm not home

[BootyDustBandit]

so, when i got into folding a few weeks back I figured it would just be simple install the thing and then BOOM. I get to start doing stuff. But apparently there are all these other things that I have no idea about like teams and then the web control client for F@H. When I first sw that I was under the impression that i could log into it from another device, say on my laptop at the office, and control what was happening remotely so I could stop folding if something seemed wrong or I could switch to folding when idle so that when the PC goes idle it can keep folding. 
Now the actual issue, can I actually use it to manage my folding from another device? or was I mistaken about that? And if I can use the web client to do that, then how do I do it?

Remote desktop into the PC that you are running it on? I have never used folding so thats all I got

pullsway for 2 devices is free + TV eventually

A frequent sponsor of Linus as of late has been Pulseway and they should let you do just that.

well yeah, but I thought the web thing would handle it for me. Thanks for the suggestion though, think i'll just try pulseway.

also, does pulseway support many PC's or is it just connecting two together? Also, what else can it handle?

I'm not certain. I'd just check their website for information like that.

There are tools for monitoring your folding. It’s easy to do that locally with either the FAH advanced client or HFMnet. The issue is controlling the folding remotely.

 

You either have to allow remote access to through the advanced control using a username and password then open and forward tcp port 36330 on your router and open it up to the world and HOPE you have a strong password or a static IP to connect from that you can restrict traffic from ... i.e.not recommended.

 

Or, if your not comfortable setting up your own VPN server at home, do some research and find a remote console programme and remote into a system running the FAH advanced control, HFMnet etc.

 

I like to think I’m pretty network savvy (my kids might disagree) and all I do is just keep an eye on the stats at extreme overclocking.

 

HFMnet, BTW will only allow you to monitor the systems via its web pages and while they provide better data than the stats at Stanford or EOC it is a PITA to setup to send those pages to a real web server as it only supports sending the web pages using FTP which sends you credential in clear text.

 

I was creating the web pages locally on the windows host it runs on, using WinSCP to securely transfer them to a web server then a Cron task on the web server to copy them to the right place and change the permissions. PITA and makes the always 10-15 minutes out of date and the scheduled task which SCPed the files on the windows box grabbed focus which was annoying and stopped my monitors from going to sleep.
