How do I use a computer thru interwebs?

[Guest]

Hi

Not sure where to put this.

I have photoshop, core and others on my home pc, but I also work in my studio 3 miles away. There's a pc at my studio, is there a way to do a remote desktop from my studio to my home to access these programs? Home is win 10 pro studio is win 10 home, doesn't need to respond that fast, thanks!

Honestly Chrome Remote Desktop is one of the best ones I have used with minimal latency. However for business use I would lean more towards LogMeIn.

i sometimes use team viewer and even chrome's remote desktop tool. These aren't fast but do the job when i need to access my home desktop from my laptop.

Teamviewer 11. https://www.teamviewer.com/en/download/windows/

Generally I would also second the recommendation of Chrome Remote Desktop for general purpose use, but if you are doing photoshop, I assume image quality is one of your greatest concerns, and so the jpeg compression it uses would be totally unacceptable.  You'll need something that can transmit at essentially bitmap quality, however that is accomplished.  There are many other protocols that will do this: I believe VNC has a setting like this.  I'm not sure about the RDP built into windows but you might want to try it as well.

chrome remote desktop works really well

especially if you set it to full screen and have a good internet connection, its almost like being right at your PC

 

ive also heard people that use teamviewer say that the mouse controls and better with chrome

I've found teamviewer to be great

That's pretty ironic

IMHO the best thing about teamviewer is you can set static connection passwords and make the program boot on startup (in background) so you can restart your pc without worrying about needing to reconnect.

chrome remote desktop has static passwords too

you set it once and every time you want to connect you just enter the password

 

also idk about if chrome needs to be opened after a restart for remote desktop to be able to connect, but I'm pretty sure you can restart a PC an still connect to it once it reboots

Great thanks! Is there one that can wake on Lan so I don't have to keep the computer on?

WoL is a really...interesting one to tell you the truth. 

 

If possible, you could have your modem/router(if supported or has dd-wrt) do it, but you need to go in and also memorize the MAC [Which, believe me, its harder than it sounds] and so on and so forth.

Windows remote desktop gives you the most functionality allowing you to click on administrator access requests and tends to be faster. Wrote it almost a year ago so it might not be the most refined feel free to ask any questions.

Reviving this old topic for a second, Teamviewer lets you do all of this as well.
HOWEVER, because of the recent events, I retract my teamviewer vouch.

There are many ways to do this, chrome desktop viewer, twamviewer, and vncsync.
