| Screen Shot From my iPad |
Just a few moments ago, I wrote about an application called "RemotePc Remote Access", this is about a sister application called "RemotePc Lite".
The main difference between these two applications is that the "Remote Access" version allows you to access your desktop from a distance, whereas the "Lite" version only allows you to access your desktop over your local network/wifi (so, that means, within your own home or office). The "Lite" version is also free.
What I really like about this application, is that there are many moments that I am sitting at my kitchen table drinking coffee, sitting outside with a friend, or lounging in front of the tv - and I'd like to use my desktop, but I really don't feel like getting up and walking into my office.
"RemotePC Lite" is a FREE service & application for the iPAD that allows you to view & control your desktop-computer (or notebook) while on your iPAD, on your home network. It works with both Mac & PC platforms. I would like to see it work from a distance (away from home), however, it's free - I love it, and I'll take what I can get.
This is how it works:
- Download the application for your iPad and install.
- Download the application for your MAC OSX or Windows machine, and install.
- Create an account (very simple).
- Make sure that RemotePC is activated on your home or desktop computer.
- Load the application on your iPAD and use your computer as if you were sitting at your desk!
Not only is this program simple and effective, the company also has great customer support. I was able to contact them immediately through their web-based chat client.
In addition to accessing your desktop, you can also use an iPad-oriented browser to choose videos, pictures, and music on your PC and play them on your iPAD.
If you're simply looking to access your files without using a remote desktop, and you'd like a service that will allow you to do so away from home, you may want to check out my blog about ZUMOCAST.
