What Is Remote Desktop?
#1
Hello,

Remote desktop is an application that allows the user to control the desktop and, indeed, the entire contents of one computer from second machine. This application gives the "master" computer access to all of the contents on the remote computer, and often provides features like file transfer and text chat. One version of the application comes standard with all new Windows computers, but other versions are available for that operating system (OS) as well as for Mac and Linux — as well as between systems, such as Linux and Windows.
How It Works: This application requires that the client, or "master," and remote, also called the "slave" or host, computers be connected to the same network. The remote desktop network can be wired or wireless. Wired networks can use direct connections or connections through routers, while wireless networks can be formed using routers or the Internet. It is quite common for an application to be used to control a host computer that is far from the client, connected only via the Internet.

Thanks,
