How to access your PC from iphone

There are several ways to achieve this, but I’m focusing on this specific way because is really fast, easy and secure.

This method has two flavors:

  • Via safari for free
  • Via a paid app (much faster and easier, but involves $).

This is what you need to do:

1-Open a free account  at http://www.logmein.com

2-Download and install the LogMeIn Free program to your windows pc. There are serveral versions make sure to try the free version first

At this point you are now able to acces your PC via another PC web browser by logging into https://secure.logmein.com/

3-Once in the website go to the Remote Control and change the default mode from ACTIVEX to HTML:

logmein

Now you can access it even from your iphone’s safari.

If you like what you see you have the option to get the paid app, wich provides a better inerface to control the mouse in the touchscreen as well as a much fast rendering:

4-Go to AppStore and get the LogMeIn Ignition application in your iPhone.

5-Start your new app in the iphone, and provide the email and password used in step 1.

6-You will see a list (maybe just one item in the list) containing the name of the PC where you installed on step 2. Click on it.

7-I till prompt for the PC password also provided on step 2.

8-And then you are ready, ytou have your full Windows Desktop inside your iphone.
