This is a tool for remotely administering workstations in a
network. It is pretty much similar to a Windows remote desktop connection,
only difference being that the remote workstation does not get locked and thus,
the remote user can also work on his machine. You can choose to have either a
Complete Control or a View Only control over the remote PC. It also supports
Telnet, File Transfer and Shutdown connection types. To get started, you need to
run Remote Administrator's server software on the remote computer and the
client software on the administrator system. The server sends the display screen
of the remote system to the client, which in turn receives and displays it on
the administrator system. To prevent someone other than the administrator from
changing the remote administrator server configurations, the tool provides
password protection for all types of configurations. It can work on Windows
2000, XP and 2003 Server but it doesn't work on Linux.
