Pocster Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Trying to have permanent access to a remote computer. Use to use TeamViewer but now you get about 3 minutes use before it kicks you out. Googled and can't get Chrome Remote Desktop to have a permanent link to a computer even with a pin. Currently have to TeamViewer into the remote, generate a "one time access code" in Chrome Remote desktop then enter that on the original PC. All a bit of a pain!. Anyone got this or something similar working?. Just want full screen share from a headless PC on my mac . No faff . Even looked for a hardware solution ( though not sure how that would work ) p.s. mac to mac was nice "screen share" and that was it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Can't thing like Zoom view and control desktops? I have used TeamViewer, I think there is a way to allow you to log into another machine without the OTP. And Don't Windows already have something built in?

Thorfun Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 (edited) Cygwin? eXceed? any other X-windows software? Then ssh -Y to give X11 forwarding and you can export the gui/desktop/programs back to your Mac. Edited December 2, 2021 by Thorfun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamyTea Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 https://pendriveapps.com/software/portable-vnc/ No need to install it either, just pop it into your phone and run it from there as portable storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
