The way this works is that you install the extension to either get a random code you can share with someone else for spontaneous support ( get that code here), or a PIN that you can use to get on the computer at any time from your own Google account. It also works through a mobile web browser.Ĭhrome Remote Desktop is an extension for the Chrome browser that lets you set up a computer for remote access. The DWAgent tool for the host can be installed on several operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and macOS. They let you create all sorts of text-based files browse through the file system to make, edit, or remove files, and upload or download files to and from the host run Command Prompt commands view basic system information, shut down tasks, and start or turn off services. The full list of tools you have access to as the client are Files and Folders, Text editor, Log watch, Resources, Screen, and Shell. Unlike some remote access programs, you don't have to open the screen sharing tool to do things like send/receive files or run commands. Give the code to the host during the program installation.ĭWService has a handful of tools. Make a user account through the link below (it's totally free), and then add a new agent to your account. If the host installed the program, the setup procedure is a little more involved. Log in through the link below and enter the code and password that shows on the host's DWAgent program window. The client has it easy if the host uses the on-demand option. Otherwise, enter the code and provided by the client so that they can have always-on access to the host computer. If you choose the run option instead of the install option, you're given a user code and password that the client needs to reach the computer.

The host has two options: download the DWAgent, and then run it for on-demand, one-time access (great for tech support), or install it for permanent remote access (ideal if it's your own computer). The host installs or temporarily runs the program, and the client logs in via any web browser to run commands, control the screen, or control files and folders. DWService is a free and open-source project that truly simplifies remote access.
