The Remote Desktop Sharing feature in Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) enables administrators to access remote computers in a network.
The advantages of using the Remote Desktop Sharing feature are as follows:
Does not require authentication to gain access to a remote computer.
Supports viewing and accessing remote computers using HTML 5 viewer.
Enables administrators to prompt users for confirmation before providing access to a remote desktop.
HTML 5 Viewer is supported on the following versions of the browser: Edge (all versions), Internet Explorer 10 and later versions, Firefox 38 and later versions, Google Chrome 31 and later versions, and Safari 8 and later versions.
- Ports Used : The following TCP ports should be open on the Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) server to establish a connection with a remote computer:
8443 : Secure port to establish a remote connection as well as for File Transfer.
8444 : Used to establish a remote connection as well as for File Transfer
Enabling the UDP port 8443 will let your viewer directly control your remote agent. However, an initial handshake will happen via the Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) server. Know more on different communication modes here.
Ensure that the above-mentioned ports are opened on the Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) server and are reachable from the Endpoint Central (formerly Desktop Central) agent as well as the viewer machine.
