This allows connecting to these machines without having to install a server, as is the case with VNC. RDP is also included, allowing connections to most Windows computers that include an RDP server (Remote Desktop Protocol). A button labeled “Advanced” reveals many useful advanced options, like color depth, server scaling setting, compression level and more. The user then only needs to enter the VNC password to complete setup. The user then clicks on the desired connection, and all queried information such as computer name, IP address, service port, and more auto-populates the set-up screen. Otherwise, local session set-up is still simple, all the computers from the WiFi network are found using both the Bonjour and NetBIOS standards. This app also provides sound redirection, which allows listening to music tracks, or any sound playing remotely on the computer.

Port-forwarding and/or dynamic DNS is not needed in order to establish connections from outside the computer’s network. When connecting to other Macs or Windows, setup is ultra-simple with the free RemoterFusion helper app. Operation is intuitive, with a well thought out interface. The app offers one of the fastest implementations of the VNC and RDP protocols on the Mac platform.

Sound redirection and easy setup, RDP, Telnet and SSH support are included. The app uses Bonjour and NetBIOS to make setup a cinch. Cary, North Carolina – Remoter Labs today is proud to announce the release of Remoter1.2.0 for OS X Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion, an update to their productivity app that enables users to remotely control Macs via Screen Sharing, and Windows or Linux computers using the VNC or RDP.
