Re: [PLUG] Sharing a desktop with Windows Remote Desktop Client

["K.S. Bhaskar" <bhaskar@bhaskars.com>]

Thanks, Gavin.

This is within a corporate network, so firewall traversal is less a concern. However, to run Teamviewer, I'd have to go through the process of getting it whitelisted with the corporate IT folks, and that would take more effort than I care to expend at the moment. On the other hand, it has Windows RDC, and that does not need whitelisting.

I second Teamviewer.  So easy.  Cross-platform and works through nat / most firewalls.  There is a single exe download available, for when you want to get your non-tech friend's desktop shared with a single download and double-click.  Good luck.
