Remotely Anywhere
features, such as remote control desktop, file transfer, are fine, but the program
really shines at network administration
Remotely Anywhere
stands out from the crowd because it complements remote control and file transfer
with a host of tools aimed squarely at support staff. Remotely Anywhere loads
a Java-based application that allows them to be accessed by a compliant browser
from anywhere over the Internet so you aren't limited to a PC, you can use other
mobile devices. You can swiftly fire up remote control, file transfer and text-based
chat sessions.
The
file transfer window is basic, as it doesn't support drag-and-drop, so copy,
delete and renaming operations are run using the function keys. Remotely Anywhere
scores highest with its administration tools. You can use features such as viewing
running processes, starting and stopping services and drivers, editing and compacting
the Registry, and configuring the task scheduler all without using a remote
control session.
Speed is always
a concern with remote control software. Running Remotely Anywhere over dial-up
speed was slower, but workable. The fact that you can complete many tasks through
the administrative tools without becoming involved with taking control is a
benefit. Besides connecting through the Web-based client, It includes an FTP
server for file transfer.
File transfer uses a simple two-pane window that displays the contents of the
directories on the client and host systems. Most file and directory operations
can be performed here, including folder synchronization and folder replication.
Security is tight, as Remotely Anywhere supports NT domain authentication, SSH
and SSL, offers 128-bit encryption and also provides IP filtering and IP address
blocking. Even NDS (Novell Directory Services) is on the menu, although you
can only assign permissions to eDirectory groups for remote control.
