A Question

[Lord348]

Hi

How can we do this :
Suppose, I have an application installed (for ex: Microsoft Office 2010 ) on my server (MWS 2008 r2 ) in US. I travel to Europe.
How can I use it via web browser ?

Thank you

Install TeamViewer or GoToMyPC or TightVNC (Server and Client). All allow you to connect remotely to control the target computer.

First of all, Thank you Ztruker

But I`m looking for a way that we do not need install any server-client software... just access to applications by connecting to Server ( input password and... ) via Internet browsers

Is it possible ?

 

[Lord348]

just up ....

You could use Remote Desktop which is part of Windows. I found it somewhat difficult to set up on my XP box -valid user account to log into, special setup in router security and port forwarding etc. I did get it working but as I said it was tricky. I now use Teamviewer. Much simpler and seems faster as well. Just my two cents.
Cheers

I don't know if you can set up remote desktop so you can access it remotely without someone being available at the target computer.

Why are you against installing an application that makes this easy, like TeamViewer?

I want to have access from a coffee net or Hotel or whatever ,,,, ( not my own ! ) ... so I have to use internet browser !

?

 

[Ztruker]

Are you saying you will not have your own computer, that you want to do this from a computer provided by a coffee shop or hotel? If so, then no, I don't know of any way you can do this.

 

[Lord348]

yes...exactly !
I have heard somethings about this way ( via browser )...I`m looking for more details

Maybe using a USB flash drive and some portable app. Google says there is a portable version of TightVNC but the links all appear to be invalid. If you can find it, that would be a solution if the computers you will be using allow connection of a flash drive.

If so, then you install TightVNC server on your computer and run the portable client from the flash drive.

I just found this: TightVNC – Portable VNC Viewer

The full version, including the server you need for your computer is available here: Download TightVNC 2.0.2 - FileHippo.com

Edit: Seems Malware Bytes Anti Malware is blocking access to TightVNC: VNC-Compatible Free Remote Control / Remote Desktop Software URLs for some reason. That was preventing me from going directly to the TightVNC download sites, which is why I posted the above links.

Please be careful using a public computer to access sensitive information. There is no way for you to really know what is installed on that computer (trojans, keyloggers, etc...). The owners of the establishment can make all the promises they want, but that don't make it so.

@Ztruker
actually, I have heard about a way without installing any software ( server and also client)

the main major exactly is that , no installing software !
It seem it is a way that some IT men don`t know it. but a IT company in US has done it.

@RayFinkle
Thank you for your advise
