(video) HTML5-based server remote Access tool

Now that cloud computing is so advanced, basically everyone has a few Windows or Linux servers running in the cloud, to directly access these servers to configure the need to use a similar remote desktop or putty such tools, although most Windows computers have their own Remote Desktop programs, Putty is also very small, it is easy to download, but it is more troublesome if you encounter a firewall with a network that has restrictions or if you have no tools at hand. Wouldn't it be nice if we could do Remote Desktop or SSH through the web?

So small series did some research, found that there are 2 tools very useful, here are introduced to you:

Spark View

This is a commercial software, but provides a free trial version, you can use the full function in the 90-day trial period, more than the time can continue to use, but the function of some restrictions, such as: Do not support Remoteapp,shadow session.

Tools Home: Http://www.remotespark.com

Spark View is easy to use and fully equipped with enterprise-grade tools:
– Support for all major browsers (as long as websocket and canvas are supported), such as Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera, IE10, etc.
– No plugins to add to the client browser, no Java, Frash, ActiveX, all using HTML 5 implementations
– Optimized for tablet operation such as: IPad, Android tablet, Windows surface/rt, BlackBerry Playbook, and mobile phone can also be operated
– Only one gateway server needs to be deployed and no deployment is required on the target server and client;
– Support for TLS (SSL over RDP) and Network Level Authentication (NLA)
– Support for connection to Hyper-V console session
– Support for RemoteApp, file sharing, remote printing, audio recording
– Supports RDP shadow, can control single-player control for multi-person viewing, or everyone can operate (this feature is very useful)

Guacamole

This is an open source software that is completely free and functionally virtually identical to the above spark view, plus 2 more features than Spark view
– User management: You can create multiple users and assign each user access to server resources
– Server panel: You can display an already connected server as an icon for easy access again

Tools Home: http://guac-dev.org

Both tools support RDP, VNC, SSH and other mainstream remote access Protocol, installation configuration is also very simple, small series testing process of each tool installation configuration time of not more than 1 hours. Most importantly, the client does not need to install any plug-ins, completely through the HTML5 implementation!

Here is the test video

Applicable scenarios

– Cross-firewall access: because both tools provide services through 80/443, the user only has to open the browser to access the target server, and the intermediate gateway server serves as a springboard. So that we can use the gateway server in the protected network as a portal to provide secure access to external users, plus user rights and resource configuration, you can control access to protected resources flexibly.
– Remote support: These 2 tools support RDP session shadowing, which is a very useful feature. Imagine if your users need you to help him complete the server configuration, only need to provide you with a URL, you can enter his session to assist him to complete the operation. The entire process does not require the installation of any tools and plugins. Tools that provide the same capabilities as well as team Viewer,qq,skype are not as easy to use.
– Mobile Office: Many enterprises of the original IT system is built on the Windows server through the client program provided, that is, the C/s structure, using these 2 scenarios can directly allow users to use the way RemoteApp browser access, Users can access it using ipad or Android tablet.
– Admin Panel: This is a small part of the current usage, all the resources need to be accessed in the guacamole, so no matter where I am, as long as the network can be connected through the browser to manage their own server resources, These servers do not even need to expose any ports to the public network. (You can deploy the server in a virtual network, only open port 80/443 to the guacamole server)
