Overview
Distant Desktop is a popular remote access utility for modern versions of Windows OS that allows users of all knowledge levels to easily, quickly, and safely take control of any remote computer as if they are standing right in front of it. The app is best known for its minimalism, extremely easy-to-use connection steps, and fully secure user authentication and data transfers.

And best yet, all of these and many other functions are available through a truly simple interface that even a complete novice can easily master in seconds.

The user interface of Distant Desktop starts with a small window that showcases the core connectivity credentials - a randomly generated ID and Password. To access any PC, the user simply has to click on a “Connect…” button and insert the ID/Password of the remote PC. Once credentials are entered, the app will switch to the fullscreen interface with tabs that represent remote PCs. That is right, with the Distant Desktop app users can establish connections to more than one PC at a time, which is a very useful feature for more advanced users such as technicians and system managers.
Once the connection to the remote PC is established, users can simply take control of that PC and do what they want, but there are few more tools that Distant Desktop offers to everyone. In the top right corner several tools can be accessed at all times – Send File, Receive File, Send Message and Speak. The last two options are highly useful when users at both PCs want to engage in conversation, share information, and more. The File Sharing feature is fast, reliable, and most importantly secure, enabling users to share files without fear they will become damaged or corrupt during the transfer.
All in all, the Distant Desktop app represents one of the easiest ways Windows PC users can establish a remote desktop connection with just a simple sharing of ID/Password credentials via any text chat service they desire. The app is 100% FREE not only for personal but also for commercial use and is optimized for all modern versions of Windows OS including Windows 7, Vista, 8, 10, Windows Server 2000/2003/2008, 32-bit and 64-bit.
