Take control of another PC using the powerful remote access tool UltraVNC

Many people now have access to more than one computer at home and they’re often linked together to form a network.

With remote access software, it’s possible to use one computer on a network to take control of another, enabling the user to work with the remote computer as if it is right in front of them.

A free remote access program called UltraVNC opens up a huge range of possibilities. UltraVNC can even take control of a computer anywhere in the world via the internet.

In this Workshop, we’ll show you how to get started with this useful software. Note that we’ve set this as a Level 3 Workshop, so it is only suitable for PC users with some experience.
