which would you recommend

[Hyperblaze]

Both have pros and cons...just wondering which one you would prefer using?

This belongs in either the Networking forum or the Software forum.

SSH if I have a choice.

VNC is easy and free. Security is generally a concern, unless you tunnel it over SSH.

Currently using RD and haven't had a problem. I've messed with VNC a little but not enough to critically asess....

 

[yoda291]

RD is more bandwidth friendly iirc.

 

[Jeraden]

VNC, I don't like how remote desktop logs the other computer out while its active. With VNC both computers can be active at the same time.

go download a jpeg virus and find out which one you like better

 

[loup garou]

Depends on what I want to do. Some programs act funky when accessing them through a second session with RD. Generally, for administrative purposes, I use VNC. For working from home, RD.

Oh, and wrong forum.

RD

vnc.... check out ultravnc and metavnc (still in beta, but good)

 

[FoBoT]

RD is already built into XP and Server 2003 , why bother adding something else?

 

[scorp00]

I use ultravnc

 

[JDub02]

realvnc .. that's what's installed at work. works out OK for me. I can VNC in from home. i have a cable modem. a little slow until i log in, then not too bad.

VNC all the way. I have it installed on every box at work and at our remote locations. Makes life so much easier. I use TightVNC. Never heard of Ultra or Meta. Might have to check em out.
