Allowing others to control
your computer
This chapter includes the following topics:
Managing host connections
As a host, you let authorized remote users connect to your computer and take
control of it. The remote user sees your computer screen and can open files or
programs that you have given the user permission to access.
Before remote users can connect to your computer, you must set up your computer
to allow the connections. You must specify the connection type, what method to
use to ensure that remote users have permission to access your computer, and
other session options. This information is stored in a host connection item file
(.bhf), which appears as an icon in the Hosts window. Host configuration items
are stored in the Symantec pcAnywhere default data directory.
Adding a host connection item to Favorites
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you manage the connection items that you use most
frequently by adding them to the Favorites window. This window supports folder
management to organize your connections.
