Need a good remote access program for my VA to use

Rebtl · 08-31-2009, 12:12 PM

Does anyone know of a good (preferably free/open source) remote access program that I can use for my VA.

I have several programs on my PC I would like my VA to be able to use remotely.

Anybody know of a good program like this that is pretty easy to set up and use?

Thanks for any help

I've been looking into this to. I haven't tried this out completely with my VA yet, but it is free and seems like a good app to try: http://www.teamviewer.com

I'd love to know what others have used too!

Hey anie thanks for the share. That is Almost exactly what I am looking for.

I say almost because, according to their demonstration video, every time the outside user (our VA) wants to log on we have to authorize it through a session unique password.

I want my VA to be able to access some of my programs whenever need be, and not have to have me authorize it every time.

Anybody else have suggestions?

Logmein.com

I believe you can setup a password that will allow your VA to access the machine. You do not have to be there to grant access.

this is another good free available application for remote access:https://secure.logmein.com/.

I've used numerous methods. UltraVNC is very good software that will probably do what you need.
