Check this out: LogMeIn has just started a beta of their browser-
based remote access app for Macs.

Several of my coworkers are big fans of LogMeIn on Windows, I have
yet to try the Mac beta.

I work in public schools in NSW, Australia. It is currently
possible to connect to Windows Terminal Servers through the Dept
Of Education & Training network (firewalled) vLan) via their

After this access has been set up by the vLan admins, the server
appears as if in Windows Remote Desktop, in a web page. The
servers are all in the 10.x.x.x range and have never been
accessible outside the schools network before.
For public schools admin staff this is naturally <a big thing>.
Principals have <never> been able to access their files outside
of school before.
Could this be possible for Mac servers? Imagine ARD as a web plug-
in. I am aware of Webmin, but this is not the same. This is a log-
in screen the same as ARD.
The point of my thread: Theoretically possible any time soon? Or
not? At the moment, this only works for Windows servers, from
clients running IE. (For me, via Parallels). This could be a very
important moment in the fight to keep Apple servers in public
education in this country . . .
Hi,
To my knowledge, the core technology behind windows terminal
services developed by Citrix is unrivaled in terms of the
bandwidth efficiency / quality ratio. GUI remote access
alternatives such as VNC and X11 are generally too slow for
regular use over many WAN (or consumer internet) connections, when
terminal services often works well enough under the same conditions.
I know of no generic VNC viewers available through a web browser
interface, but it looks like the RealVNC server sports a java
viewer that can be run through a browser: http://www.realvnc.com/
javavncviewer.html RealVNC would need to be installed on the
computers you wish to control.
HTH,
