Remote Connection For Mac



You can connect with your remote devices such as desktops, laptops, and mobile phones using remote access software over a network or the internet. Using Zoho Assist, a cloud-based remote desktop connection software, you can set up and establish a secure remote desktop connection directly from your web browser.

Follow these steps to get started with Remote Desktop on your Mac: Download the Microsoft Remote Desktop client from the Mac App Store. Set up your PC to accept remote connections. (If you skip this step, you can't connect to your PC.) Add a Remote Desktop connection or a remote resource.

Connection

Enable remote login on the Mac. To set up the Mac build host, first enable remote login: On the Mac, open System Preferences and go to the Sharing pane. Check Remote Login in the Service list. Make sure that it is configured to allow access for All users, or that your Mac username or group is included in the list of allowed users. If prompted, configure the macOS firewall. As with most modern Mac applications, Microsoft Remote Desktop is available for download through the Mac App Store. Go to the icon Dock on your desktop and click the blue 'App Store' icon to open it. On your Mac, choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Sharing, then select Remote Login. Open the Remote Login pane of Sharing preferences for me. Select the Remote Login checkbox. Selecting Remote Login also enables the secure FTP (sftp) service.
