Requiring a small applet to be installed on the machine to be accessed, or the host, the system then allows users to go to the website www.GoToMyPC.com to access the machine securely from any web enabled system.
Part of a family of products from Citrix Online, GoToMyPC 6.0 joins GoToMeeting, GoToWebinar and GoToAssist in the product line up.
The system now features remote sound capability, allowing users to listen to anything on their remote PCs – including music, voice-mail, videos and system sounds. Now users can not only view, access and use everything on their remote desktop, they can also hear anything stored on.
“With GoToMyPC 6.0 we are giving our customers the most complete access experience on the market,” said Simon Presswell, managing director, EMEA for Citrix Online.
“In addition to easily accessing and using all of their applications and files in real time, our customers can now fully and seamlessly connect their digital lives by listening to anything stored on their PCs.”
As well as remote sound, version 6.0 also streamlines the ability to print documents remotely by eliminating set-up when printing from the host PC to a local computer. Another new feature allows easy synchronisation of files and folders between the host PC and local device during sessions, enabling users to keep files the same in both locations.
While broadband is recommended for the system, dial up will work and the product has various settings to adapt to the bandwidth available. These include true colour to 256 bit adjustments and an automatic option to drop sound if bandwidth is restricted.
A desktop short cut allows users to connect and reconnect quicker from a trusted computer.
Version 6.0 boasts compatibility with the latest operating systems and browsers, including Microsoft Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7.
Citrix Online offers three versions of GoToMyPC 6.0 to meet the needs of individual professionals, and small and medium-sized businesses: Citrix GoToMyPC is for individual users who want remote access to 1-20 PCs; Citrix GoToMyPC Pro is for workgroups and teams with up to 20 users.
