[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Open Source remote desktop software WITH VOICE AND FILE TRANSFER

[Robert Primak]

 Looks interesting. I am not criticizing the product or its security, but...
It's not so comforting to see on their Home Page a large banner warning people of phone scams where callers try to convince people to install this software on their computers. You can't control who uses or misuses open-source software, but the warning was very striking.

All,
 
Check out RustDesk for remote access/control.
 
It is marketed as a replacement/alternative to apps like Teamviewer, Anydesk, etc.
 
 
What makes this app stand out amongst all others is that it supports voice. You can talk through the remote connection to the person who you are providing remote technical support to, rather than having to rely on a separate telephone conversation.
 
If you need to help somebody with their iPad you can see the iPad and talk to them at the same time.
 
You can transfer files in both directions. The added advantage to this is the ability to transfer files between dissimilar operating systems. Theoretically, you can transfer a file from a Windows computer to someone's ipad while they're located somewhere else in the world.
 
 
Other nice features:
    
   - It's open source and FREE!!   
 
   - Works everywhere. NO NEED FOR PORT FORWARDING!!!!   
 
   - Display your Android/Apple phone/tablet on your Windows machine.
   - Provide remote technical support for people using mobile devices like iPad and cell phone without needing to be on the same local network. I don't know about iphone, but with Android, you can set it so that you can from Windows control the Android phone remotely.   
 
   - On Windows, you can run the app without having to install.
   - Connection is encrypted.
   - At any point, you can reverse the remote control connection without losing the connection.
