What is Remote Desktop Software?

Remote Desktop Software is a tool that uses Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to allow one computer to remotely access and control another computer over an internet/network connection.

How does Remote Desktop Software Work?

Remote Desktop Software use a client-server model to connect to and control a computer remotely:

  1. Server: The server is the remote device which is being controlled.
  2. Client: The client is the local device used to control the server.

The server's UI is displayed on the client monitor which enables the client to control the server via keyboard and mouse inputs. These inputs are executed in the server's environment, and the UI is updated in the client's display accordingly.
