What is Remote and what is it for?

Remote is a simple remote desktop application which serves screenshots of the system running remote itself. Then we capture mouse and keyboard events on the client and send them back to host. With the help of xdotool we can run that events on host computer.

Can I use it for some serious business?

No. It is not safe!

Installation:

Remote needs xdotool.

#!bash

apt-get install xdotool

We have no requirements file. You only need to install web.py over standard python2.7 installation on Ubuntu.

#!bash

pip install web.py

Get into applications directory and run python remote.py

This will start the server over port 8080. (You can also specify the port as first argument)

Use another computer in the same network and reach your desktop by http://your_ip:8080

If everything goes OK, put a cone on your head and dance.
