ShowMyPC does remote desktop control with an open-source attitude. By wrapping VNC, SSH, and plink into two free stand-alone executables, controlling another computer remotely is a cinch. One executable is called "Show My PC to Remote User" and the other is called "View a Remote PC." When the user launches Show My PC to Remote User, a password is automatically generated. The Remote user just has to enter this password and they are connected. The two applications make use of ShowMyPC.com's SSH servers to connect securely. Instead of turning Mom's computer into a VNC server next time she needs help, send her to ShowMyPC.com and you'll be connected in no time.
