Easy way to remote control your system(web-based)
16 Nov
Once you read this post, I’m sure you’d be jumping up and down with excitement. This is about an easy way to remote control your system. We are in a world where we need a ready access to data, anytime anywhere. Ok, so that’s why you carry your laptop, netbooks, tablets and smart phones wherever you go.But there are times when you are stuck at school, or work, or at a client’s place, without your favourite gadget (yes you left it at home), and you are in dire need of accessing some important data. So what? It’s not the end of the world, all you need to do is ask your parent or a family member to switch on your PC / laptop and send you an email with the attachment.
Well, you may be lucky if your folks are computer literate. If not, it’s highly frustrating. And that’s why remote controlling your personal PC helps. However, you do get tons of RC software that you can just download to your system, install and then you get an access code using which you share with the person on the other end or vice versa, depending on who needs to remote control which system. But what’s the point. If the person on the other end is capable of running the application and giving you the access code for you to access the desktop, he/she might as well send you a simple email.Let’s put an end to all this frustration. If someone at home can switch on your system, your problems are solved. Just a wee bit of proactive thinking is all it takes.

Logmein.com is an amazing application that gives you complete freedom to access your desktop / laptop from a computer or mobile device with internet connectivity. You just have to create an account on logmein.com, which by the way is free, and download and install the application on to the system, which you may want to remote control in future.
The user interface is simple, and installation process and other procedures hardly take you few minutes, and is definitely not a rocket science. The only thing you need to pay attention to is the access code during the installation process. If you are installing the application on system ABC, you will have to create an access code, and please keep a ready reckoner of it somewhere easily accessible to you. Once installed, you can access ABC computer from any computer using that access code. The best part about Logmein is, you can install the application using your account on more than one computer. Which means, you can now install the application on your friends’ and family members computers and provide support or access their desktop if needed.
Ok, now that you’ve installed the application, it’s time to relax. The next time you need to access your desktop, when you are away from home, just log on to www.logmein.com, and sign in using your email and password. Just ensure you have someone to switch on your system. Once you are logged in to your account, click on Remote Control from the menu. Next step, you can choose the system you wish to access, and provide the respective access code that you created during the installation stage. And Bingo! You’ll get a screen that looks like the one above!In few seconds, you’ll be able to access your computer on a remote control mode!
Logmein is more than a tool for remote control. You can network your systems, share files in a secure way, offer tech support during software installation. But the fact that you can sit at office and access your home PC is a feature most of us would be craving for.
