Overview

Introduction

Remotix is a powerful yet simple client for remote access. You can connect to your computer from anywhere with almost zero lag via NEAR protocol.

Remotix supports:

  • NEAR – Remotix’s own low-latency protocol
  • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)
  • Apple Screen Sharing
  • Virtual Network Computing (VNC)

It allows you to connect to any remote desktop running any operating system from your Android device.

Remotix Account

Register at remotix.com to get a Remotix Cloud account and connect to remote machines using NEAR, and store and synchronize your remote connections and credentials across all devices.

When logged in, this pane displays your account information page and notifications from Remotix Hub.

Stored Computers

Remotix Stored Computers screen presents a list of stored connections available to open.

When you connect to a nearby computer for the first time, you need to choose authentication type. When you disconnect, this computer gets added to the Stored list. All settings that you’ve selected or changed on-the-fly, will be stored. A star icon to the right of the connection name indicates that you have this connection in the Stored list.

Connections that you have never visited before have a default “blank” thumbnail and no stored settings.

To add a connection manually:

  • Go to the menu in the right bottom corner and press [+] button.
  • Choose the type of a new connection.
  • Type in the address (Computer ID for NEAR, and hostname or IP for VNC or RDP). Other fields are optional.
    • If you leave the Port field blank, Remotix will use the default value (5900 for VNC and 3389 for RDP).
  • When you finish, the new connection will appear in the Stored list with a blank thumbnail.
  • When you disconnect after a successful connection, Remotix saves the remote screen as a thumbnail to help you recognize it later. The thumbnail gets refreshed at the end of every session. To disable thumbnail saving, set “Store thumbnail” option to Off.

Nearby

Remotix uses Bonjour and LAN scanners to discover nearby computers available to connect.

  • Bonjour: nearby servers on the local subnet that announce themselves using Bonjour technology.
  • LAN: IP address/port scan of all computers available on the Wi-Fi interface.

Quick Connect

You may quickly connect to a remote machine running Remotix Agent or Remotix QC using this pane.
