Juvigy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 Yes it is possible. There are several ways. For full control wont be an easy task but there are many free remote control solutions available. What exactly do you want to remote control?

This agent communicates with Tomcat server on the technical support site through web services (SOAP). Tech support needs to have a way to manage the agent, such as change configuration, run scripts, start/shutdown some programs, or even configure client's computer settings. Because of firewall and other security reasons, no direct TCP/IP program should be used, and the only way that allowed is through https. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 For example you can write your own agent in Autoit to be installed on the client computer that can get commands from a console on the tomcat server to do all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I am not quite clear: " (agent) can get commands from a console"? What kind of console is it? How can tech support send command to this console? Could you give more hints?

I figured it out: web service can be used to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvigy Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you look around there are more ways - you can make it even without tomcat server. Just create a client installed on the client PC and master app that the support guys can use from any PC connected on the same network. Communication via UDP/telnet for example.
