One interesting feature of Teamviewer is Teamviewer portable which is a portable version of the remote access software which provides the same feature set but adds portability to it.

The portable version of Teamviewer comes as a general version and one specifically designed for U3 devices. All that needs to be done is to download the archive from the Teamviewer homepage and unpack it to an USB device. The application can then be executed from there easily and will leave no traces on the system it is executed from.

Make sure you check out the Remote Control Software Teamviewer article if you never heard of Teamviewer before.

Teamviewer is a remote desktop software that can be used to easily connect to other computers. The greatest benefits is that it is easy to setup even for users without broad technical knowledge and that it can be used for other purposes than remote desktop access such as presentations or virtual private networks. The Remote Control Software here at Ghacks took a closer look at the software and can be a good read for anyone unfamiliar with the product.

Teamviewer works by entering an unique ID and password in the software to connect to a client remotely. The Teamviewer shortcuts would basically eliminate the need of entering and remembering the ID and password before establishing a connection.

The basic idea is to create Teamviewer shortcuts in a folder on the hard drive and execute these to connect to the client computer. Lee created a folder for each client and one personal folder. So all that needs to be done is to create a shortcut of Teamviewer, right-click it and select Properties. The following parameters should be added in the target box of the shortcut: -i [tv ID number] –Password -[tv password]. (without the [] brackets)

Lee failed to list another possible shortcut: -m filetransfer would initiate file transfer mode. Other options are presentation to start a presentation session or starting the application without the -m parameter for remote support.

You normally use a phone or voip to communicate which is the preferred way to give the Supporter the data that he needs to access the computer. Teamviewer uses RSA-encryption to ensure that all data is encrypted between both computers. The module on the client computer does not have to be installed at all, it can be run and supplies all information necessary. The software works even if Firewalls or Proxies are installed on the client machine.

Teamviewer offers two modes. The first is the normal remote desktop mode which gives the Supporter full control over the clients machine. You can even initiate file transfers between both computers if it is necessary to send files to the client.

The second mode is interesting as well. It is called the presentation mode which mirrors the Supporters desktop at the clients machine. The client is therefor viewing everything that the Supporter is demonstrating at his computer. Great for online presentations for instance.

Teamviewer is working on every Windows edition starting with Windows 98. There is currently no support for Linux or Mac.
