If you provide computer support and are searching for an application that allows you to work on a remote PC as if you were sitting in front of it, right from your current location? Then you should check out UlraVNC.

What is UltraVNC?

UltraVNC is a powerful freeware that can display the screen of another computer (via internet or network) on your own screen. The program allows you to use your mouse and keyboard to control the other PC remotely. This allows you to work on a remote computer as if you were sitting right in front of it. With this program, you can provide help desk solutions to your customers wherever they are in the world without leaving your location.

It has optional DSM Encryption that ensures secure communications between the viewer and the server, reducing the possibility for man-in-the-middle attacks that would be able to see 100% of the remote screen. You could compress and transfer entire files and folders to and from remote computers rather than emailing them. It also comes with an embedded Text Chat with a very beautiful GUI which allows for easy communication.

This program works very fast and is very friendly with the hardware resources on both computers. When using UltraVNC as a server will require two different passwords, one for full control of the computer and one for the view mode only. As a client however, you’ll need the server’s IP and the password to establish a connection.

Some of the key features of this program are: File transfer, Video driver, Optional Encryption Plugins, MS Logon, Text chat, Viewer Toolbar, Java Viewer with File Transfer , as well as Viewer Auto scaling and Server Side Scaling, Multiple-Monitors-support,Repeater/Proxy-support, Auto reconnection, good performances and tons of other functionalities.

All in all it is a simple but cool remote VNC.
