Cary, North Carolina – Remoter Labs today is proud to announce the release of Remoter VNC 4.0.0 for iOS, an update to their productivity app that allows users to remotely control Macs, Windows or Linux PCs using the VNC or RDP standards, right from their iOS devices. Remoter now has a thumb-friendly virtual trackpad to precisely control of the mouse cursor. Sound redirection, RDP, Telnet and SSH which also allows for secure VNC/RDP over SSH, are available as in-app purchases.
Version 4.0.0 has enhanced external keyboard support for iOS 6. Other enhancements include a new Thumb-Friendly Trackpad, RDP Font Smoothing and lots of stability improvements.
The app offers one of the fastest implementations of the VNC and RDP protocols on the iOS platform, full support for external keyboards and retina display support and the new iPad.
Setup is ultra-simple with the optional RemoterFusion add-on. Port-forwarding and/or dynamic DNS is no longer needed in order to establish connections from outside the computer’s network. This add-on also provides sound redirection, which allows listening to music tracks, or any sound playing remotely on the computer from the iOS device. RemoterFusion is optional and can be tested for free for 24 hours.
Otherwise, local session set-up is still simple, all the computers from the WiFi network are found using both the Bonjour and NetBIOS standards. The user then taps on the desired connection, and all queried information such as computer name, IP address, service port, and more auto-populates the set-up screen. The user then only needs to enter the VNC password to complete setup.
The RDP add-on allows connecting to Windows (including the latest Windows 8 builds) computers that include an RDP server (Remote Desktop Protocol). This allows connecting to these machines without having to install a server, as is the case with VNC.
Wake-on-LAN support is also built-in, when the server session is setup using Bonjour or NetBIOS, the MAC address is automatically populated. Otherwise the field is provided to allow the user to populate it manually. Wake-on-LAN can then be sent either from the main screen of the app, or via the session selection screen. Macros can also be created and run. Macro support is included for VNC, RDP, SSH and Telnet sessions, and a Macros manager allows for renaming and deleting of existing macros.
Sessions can be stored and restored using the new CloudSync manager. The sessions can be restored on any device owned by the user. Cloud storage is handled by Dropbox.
