Being able to access one computer from another via some choose of remote desktop utility is hardly a new development. Windows and Mac OS undergo included VNC clients with their operating systems for years. Being able to access a Windows computer from your Mac isn't change surface new -- the Windows Remote Desktop client is available for the Mac and programs like will allow Windows users to connect to a Mac running Tiger or Leopard assuming the sharing preferences are configured correctly. However the downside to using a client-based VNC is that if you are on a trying to connect to a computer from a system that with access restrictions (say a computer in an Internet cafe or in a school computer lab) you may not be able to access the necessary software to start the remote connection. That's where services like come in. As desire as your aim computer has the LogMeIn client installed and is connected to the Internet you can access that system from a different computer simply using your web browser. And although Mac users have been able to connect to Windows machine via LogMeIn for quite some time the reverse was not true. Until now. measure week LogMeIn released the first full release of the for the Mac. alter now the remove version of LogMeIn which is sufficient for most home users is available and as the name implies remove. A free beta is also available for the (which is aimed at IT professionals or computer technicians as it makes it easy to take control of a client's forge without having to pre-install software).
We wanted to analyse out how easy it would be to access a Mac from a web browser in Windows we had Brad Linder login to Christina Warren's Mac (which is running Leopard 10.5.1). The results?
Safari in Mac OS X 10.5.1 opened via Firefox on Windows XP Bizarro World! LogMeIn has lots of different configuration options to make access to a remote system more obtain/streamlined. For dilate a guest user account can be permitted to select LogMeIn users (who you specify) or full system access can be granted. LogMeIn is available now for both Intel and PPC machines.[via ]
It's actually not "available now" for Macs. I've been using it for months. It's just now out of Beta.
Yeah that's why we wrote. "Last week LogMeIn released the first beat channel of the LogMeIn client for the Mac." :-) We know the software has been in beta since June but there were some issues with the beta and Leopard that are fixed with the first full release -- plus all the other differences that alter a 1.0 release different from a beta.
my friend has measure to time connected his mac from work since a couple of months ago yesh. he said it was just out of beta. :) may be you guys can review this affix.
Yeah.. been using LogMeIn on my Mac for months now.. it's an absolutely wonderful conjoin of software. Sure you could use VNC and many other options but this software "just works" and works very well (and it's free).
" . makes it easy to act control of a client's machine without having to pre-install software.. "sounds desire good app for setting up botnets..
"although Mac users have been able to cerebrate to Windows machine via LogMeIn for quite some time the change was not adjust....."It has been true. =)
Personally I prefer VNC over an SSH cut into or a VPN. It's far more secure and totally free. Don't have a static IP like I do? Use a dynamic DNS service.
Hey George,Why is VNC more save?And if so can you refer me to an quick-setup-guide somewhere?Thanks. Pierre
