Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect
-
Updating to 0.2.6-k now.
-
@scottalanmiller 0.2.6-k fixes a nasty bug in the MeshAgent that caused data corruption when lots of data was flowing at a high rate. The big deal about that release is that you can now do RDP over the Internet using the ClickOnce application. You need Windows on both sides to do it + Use IE or a ClickOnce add-in for FireFox/Chrome. Hit the "RDP" link at the bottom of a device page to trigger it.
-
@Ylian any way to get that working with Linux on the "support" side?

RDP versus what? What is used otherwise?

No, you are missing the point. This is unrelated to the normal remote access. This is an additional RDP proxy system. ScreenConnect offers it, too.
-
The RDP is an end to end RDP system. Used for convenience and security versus raw RDP.
-
Another false positive, I have sent a false positive report to avast regarding this.
-
@scottalanmiller I think RDP support on Linux would be possible if I added Guacamole within MeshCentral. Even on Windows, ClickOnce is not friendly, causes anti-virus warnings and may go away.

That would be cool, but what about just allowing Reminna or some such to connect?
-
Although I'd probably prefer Guacamole to that myself
-
RDP is more for testing than anything.

Any reason you have not set it to auto-update? I may have missed it in a previous post.

I have mine set, but it doesn't seem to do it.

Oh. Do you have it setup as a restricted user?

Yeah. It's still just a testing box anyhow. I'd rather it run as a restricted user if possible when I put it into production.
I can just make the build process part of the start up scrip.

I check in every morning and before shutting down at night and sometimes when I think about it during the day.
