REMOTE ACCESS

Remote desktop software for IT support and MSPs

Get there without going there. Open a desktop or a terminal on the endpoint you are already looking at.

Remote access is built into Outpost’s RMM, so every session starts with the device’s inventory, alerts, and ticket history in view.

REMOTE DESKTOP

Remote desktop on Windows and Linux.

Connect from the browser to the endpoint’s screen, whether someone is in front of it or not.

  • Windows desktops and servers
  • Linux desktops on X11 and on Wayland, including the login screen
  • macOS desktops, coming soon with the macOS agent
  • Unattended access, or a consent prompt for the person at the device, set by profile
  • Connect from the endpoint page, the remote access overview, or the endpoint list
  • One monitor at a time, or all of them in one view
  • Clipboard and file transfer, end-to-end encrypted, in the directions your policy allows

REMOTE TERMINAL

A console on every supported system.

Open a remote terminal on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD endpoints for the work that does not need a screen.

  • PowerShell or cmd on Windows
  • A shell on Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD
  • Up to 8 tabs in the remote viewer, each running as the agent’s account or, on Windows and Linux, as the signed-in user
  • Saved layouts of tabs: your own default, or an endpoint default your whole team opens
  • Available from the endpoint page and from a ticket

ACCOUNTABILITY

Every session, on the record.

Remote access is a position of trust. Outpost keeps a record of who connected, when, and what happened.

  • Session recording on the Enterprise and MSP plans, off until you turn it on in a profile
  • Session history per endpoint
  • Idle sessions pause, and a profile can require signing in again to resume, as PCI DSS 8.2.8 asks
  • Roles and permissions that decide who can connect
  • A tamper-evident audit log of platform actions
