VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
It is free! You can download it, use it, and redistribute it under the terms of the GNU Public License. Both binaries and source code are available from the download page, along with a complete copy of this documentation.
To connect, just your browser, such as Internet Explorer and go to the IP address (preferably
static), such as: http://123.456.789.10:5800
Then enter the password you have assigned.
And here's your desktop through a browser!
If you need to do file transfer, you can do that separately through FTP.
Open an FTP connection to the same address, "123.456.789.10".
Log in with the username and password to gain access to the directory.
GoToMyPC is the CNET Editors' Choice pick for remote access, and they say "you'd be nuts not to sign up for a GoToMyPC account."
Introducing a new technology that PC Magazine calls "revolutionary" and The New York Times calls "ingenious."
You can use all of your normal software and data files, right on your own
pc or network, from any browser.
You also do not know the IP or require a static IP as with VNC, as GoToMyPC takes care of matching
up the host and client.

PlaceWare is a leading provider of
Web conferencing services that enable businesses to conduct
real-time, interactive conferences and meetings over the Internet.
PlaceWare got its start in 1990 at Xerox Palo Alto Research Center (PARC). Initially it was a
ground-breaking multi-user game known as LambdaMoo. Ironically, this success led to the
technology becoming the foundation for a collaborative computing system for
the U.S.
Department of Defense.
Realizing the potential of this new
multi-user real-time collaboration medium in business applications,
PlaceWare was formed in 1996.
Today, PlaceWare's hosted services
and high-touch event services allow business professionals to
meet, share and exchange information with anyone around the world. PlaceWare's flagship service
Conference Center, provides reliable and scalable services for collaborative meetings and online
events
with up to 2,500 participants, at once.
With traditional applications you still need locally installed software to control
a remote computer. Using Carbon Copy Solution, you can connect and control an installed Windows
client from any location and any computer with Microsoft Internet Explorer. Simply click on the
Carbon Copy URL and the remote access console is immediately downloaded and ready to run. The
console is only cached – so files aren’t permanently left behind. However this requires
special software to reside on the host machine.
We also are set up for "face to face" meetings via Videophone
