educators from Schools Division Office of Pasig City headed by its Officer-In-Charge
Schools Division Superintendent, Ma. Evalou Concepcion A. Agustin in partnership

 LESSON

WHAT IS REMOTE DESKTOP

A remote desktop is a separate program or feature found on most operating

systems that allows a user to access an operating computer system's desktop. The
access occurs via the Internet or through another network in another geographical
location and allows users to interact with that system as if they were physically at
their own computer. Remote desktop technology makes it possible to view another
computer's desktop on your computer. This means you can open folders, move
files, and even run programs on the remote computer, right from your own desktop.
It is widely used in the corporates due to the reason that it provides easy
accessibility to a computer, device or a network from a remote distance but it also
supports the access to home networks. Simply put, the remote access eliminates
the need for the physical presence to log into a system. In a remote desktop setup,
the controlling computer receives a copy of the image, updated on a timed interval
or when a change is detected by the software, from the controlled computer’s
display. The controlling computer’s keyboard and mouse inputs are transferred to
the controlled computer, where the remote desktop software implements the
instructions. Often, the controlled computer’s keyboard and mouse can be disabled
to prevent interference with the remote user’s actions.

Advantages of Remote Access

1. Easily monitor, control and maintain devices connected to the network

2. Quickly troubleshoot using the remote access
3. Effortlessly access the files on connected devices, servers or network
4. Define the access rights to files and folders for different categories of users
5. Supports business growth by providing quicker access to files

REMOTE DESKTOP FEATURES
Remote desktop is a program or an operating system feature that allows a user to
connect to a computer in another location, see that computer's desktop and
interact with it as if it were local. A remote desktop server allows users
to work from any location – at home, on the road, or in the office. A network
connection is not required. There is no additional hardware needed to link
the remote user to the server. All that is needed is access to the Internet and a web
browser. A remote computer (also known as remote desktop or remote access) is a
physical personal computer to which a user does not have physical access, but that
can be accessed or interacted with. Remote Desktop Connection allows you to take
full control of a remote computer (including exclusive access to the Desktop,
documents, programs, etc.),
