Is the needed software PC Anywhere or Terminal Service? |
|
|
|
|
|
| Note:
"PC Anywhere," "Terminal Service," or
any other type of "Remote Desktop Software" are
very unsafe! They are software packages that are meant to
allow you or someone else to access your server. The MAJOR
PROBLEM with them is they are very unsecured, and can be
broken into very easily by anybody that wants your valuable
data. Don't use them. If you are going to give remote access
to your server the only way to protect yourself and your clients
data is with a high dollar firewall and encryption on the
data. Otherwise, anybody that has access to your server has
access to all of your data. Both the firewall and encryption
require constant upgrading and must be licensed to each computer
you want to access your software from. |
