All you need to know

Getting started with Web-based remote access

Start your journey to the next level of remote computing

All products from the NoMachine for the Enterprise suite provide access via Web to let you work on your remote desktop from anywhere without installing additional software. All that is required is a simple Web browser on the device you are connecting from. Read on to learn how to remotely access the desktop via the browser.

How to connect to the remote desktop via the browser

You need to check these four things first:

    • Make sure that a product from any of the Enterprise Desktop, Cloud Server and Terminal Server families is installed on the remote computer you want to access. Once installed, Web access is already configured and ready to use out-of-the-box. For more details about installation and configuration for your specific product, please see the guides here: https//www.nomachine.com/all-documents.
    • You need to know the IP address or host name of the server.
    • To be able to connect to this computer remotely you need to have a valid user account on it which consists of a username and password.
    • Now move to the computer or device that you want to connect from.

    Step 1: Point your browser to the appropriate URL

    • On the device you are connecting from, point your browser to https://servername:4443 where 'servername' is either the host name or IP address of the remote PC or Mac you want to reach (Fig. 1).

    Step 2: Insert your account credentials

    • As mentioned, you need a username and password to be able to log in to the remote computer. Check with your Administrator what these are if you are not sure.
    • Click 'Login'. Proceed to Step 3.
