When it comes to accessing your computer remotely many
potential users are intimidated due to lack of networking
knowledge or computer skills. There are some applications
that can be quite technical and involve firewall settings
changes or port configuration changes that are beyond
day-to-day user's expertise. However, HopToDesk makes it
easy, especially if you have never used remote desktop
software before.
To begin, we will walk your through how to get started using
HopToDesk and accessing any device from anywhere in the
world.
HopToDesk offer a wide range of platform compatibility. On
the home screen select the platform (Windows, Mac, Android,
etc.) that you would like to use and click the download
button. Open the downloaded file and continue to run the
application. Repeat this process on any other devices you
want to access remotely.
To make an outgoing connection, make sure the app is opened
on the device you want to control and the device you will be
controlling from. Make sure to note the device ID (unique
number located at top left corner) and password. From your
HopToDesk app, type in the device ID of the device you want
to access in the fillable space at top center of the app
under "Control Remote Desktop" and click the blue "Connect"
button.
Your device will then make a secure connection to the other
device associated with that ID. Once connected you can
either manual accept the connection from the other device or
you can bypass with the password. The password is located
under each ID number in the app. Remember you will need the
password for the device you are accessing. Specific device
IDs and passwords can be save for faster access and given
nicknames.
Once a connection is established you will have remote
control over that device. The outgoing connection device
will show as a window on your device. You can zoom in/ out
via the options at top the connect window for better
viewing. Transfer file option can easily exchange files
between the devices as well.
At HopToDesk our aim is to be the most secured and easily
accessible remote desk top software out there. We are
constantly building and improving and would love to hear
from our users, please let us know what you want and how we
can better serve you.
