Remote Desktop To Mac And PC

In this article, Im going to walk you through the steps for setting up remote desktop on a Mac and PC.

Once you approve that and the program is installed, go ahead and run it.

All you do is click Get Started and it will change a few settings on your PC so that the computer can accept incoming remote desktop connections.

Once completed, it will show you a summary and give you the option to scan a QR code (if using a mobile device like an iPad), copy the info to the clipboard or save the connection as a file, which you can open on another computer.

Its worth noting that if you want to connect to your computer from outside the local network, youll have to open the ports on the router manually and forward those ports to your PC.

Youll also have to setup dynamic DNS so that you can use a DNS name rather than your public IP address, which changes often, to connect.

Youll want to go to the App Store and search for remote desktop.

The main screen is just a couple of buttons across the top: New, Start, Edit, Preferences and Remote Resources.

Here you will type in all the information that was listed out on the PC when you setup remote desktop assistant.

Remote Desktop To Password In Order

Note that the PC will need to have an account with a password in order for all this to work.

If the account doesnt have a password, you wont be able to connect.

For some odd reason, there is no Add and Save button on the dialog.

However, once you click the X, youll see the new connection listed.

Youll probably see a warning about the certificate not being verified, which is OK.

If you need to make any changes to the connection, just select it and click on Edit.

Also, you can click on Preferences to add a gateway or to specify the display resolution manually.
