The publisher seems to have pulled the new release and is serving the 11.0.53254 release from December for both standard and portable downloads even though the main download page still shows 11.0.55321 as the current version.

And now it's updated.

Theoretically, 14.2 should work in XP, but it is hit and miss. The version that still works always is 13.13

@juverax and @hamasaki: thanks both of you, I've updated the entry

Brynhildr v.2.6.0 can still be downloaded from the author's website. But the "visibility" of the download link may (not sure) depend on the browser's capabilities.
On the web site page, look for download and click on 2.6.0
(It worked for me with both Chrome and SeaMonkey).

ShowMyPC v3161

vevy on 23 Dec 2020
  • 2MB (uncompressed)
  • Released on 3 Jan 2015
  • Suggested by wolfman

ShowMyPC is an easy-to-use and secure remote access program. The source and destination computers use the same software to and operation of a remote computer requires only a password (no IP address needed). This temporary password is automatically generated when you start the viewing session and then communicated to the remote user by email, phone or other means.

The program combines VNC with an open-source SSH forwarding client. If you have access to your own SSH server, you can use it instead of the one provided.

Note: This program started including advertisements during runtime after it was added to the database.

Runs on:Win2K / WinXP / Vista / Win7
