Python Remote Desktop

A Python GUI based application to let one computer access the other computer remotely.

Prerequisites

  • Python 3 (I used Python 3.9.0)
  • Two or more computers running Windows / macOS / Linux
  • All computers need to be connected to the same network

Usage

  • We first need to install the pyautogui module to control the cursor and keyboard. Launch Command Prompt or Terminal and type the following:
pip install pyautogui
  • You now need to download server.py onto one of the computers and client.py to the rest.

  • Now run server.py on and note the IP address as well as the port that comes as an alert.

  • On the other computers, run client.py. When it asks for the Host IP Address and the Port, type the details that you saw in the alert.

  • On the computer running server.py, you should now see a tkinter window. This window is your virtual touchpad. Click inside the window, and as your cursor moves inside that window, the cursor will move simultaniosly on the client computers!

  • Other actions include :
  1. Right click - ctrl+r
  2. Left click - ctrl + l
  3. Double click - ctrl+d
  4. To type in text, use the text option.
