Does RemoteToPC Support Unattended Remote Access and Remote Desktop Features?

Updated

Yes. RemoteToPC provides secure unattended remote access and remote desktop software for PCs used at home, in offices, and across business teams. You can connect to an unattended PC or Mac from any location, and the remote desktop session includes features such as remote printing, multi-to-multi pop-out screens, drag-and-drop file copy, and chat. This makes it suitable for IT remote support as well as employees who need to reach their office computer while away.

What "unattended" means in RemoteToPC

Unattended access means you can reach a remote computer without someone sitting in front of it to approve or start the session. RemoteToPC describes its product as "secure unattended remote access and remote desktop software," so the remote machine does not need a person present for you to connect.

This is the key difference from attended support, where a user on the far end has to be there. RemoteToPC offers both attended and unattended remote access, so you can pick the mode that fits the task.

Remote desktop features you get during a session

Once connected, RemoteToPC is designed to let you work on a remote PC or Mac "as if they're right in front of it." The listed capabilities include:

  • Remote printing — print from the remote machine to a local printer.
  • Multi-to-multi pop-out screens — view and manage multiple monitors in separate windows.
  • Drag-and-drop file copy — move files between local and remote machines.
  • Chat — communicate with the person on the other end when needed.
  • Multi-monitor support — work across more than one display.
  • File transfer — send files to and from the remote computer.

These are the tools that turn a basic remote connection into a usable remote desktop session for everyday work or IT support.

Who unattended access is for

RemoteToPC positions unattended access around two main use cases:

  • IT remote support — technicians reach managed computers to troubleshoot, monitor, and maintain them without waiting for a user.
  • Employee access to office PCs — remote employees connect to their office PC or Mac from any location.

IT staff can also assign granular access to groups and computers, which matters when several technicians or team members need different levels of access.

Plans and scale

RemoteToPC offers Basic and Business plans as affordable, user-friendly options, while Teams and Enterprise plans add robust user management. The published plan details include:

Plan Users Remote computers Billing
Basic Single user 10 $8.25/month, billed yearly at $99.00
Business Single user 20 $16.58/month, billed yearly at $199.00

Both listed plans include unlimited remote sessions, remote desktop access, multi-to-multi monitor support, and remote printing and file transfer. Basic is described as best for individuals and very small businesses. Higher tiers (Teams and Enterprise) add user management for larger IT teams.

A 14-day free trial is available, and pricing details are published on the RemoteToPC pricing page.

What to check before you commit

  • Confirm the unattended setup works on your target machines. Unattended access depends on the remote computer being configured and reachable, so test it on one PC before rolling it out.
  • Match the plan to your computer count. Basic covers 10 remote computers and Business covers 20; if you manage more, you'll need a higher tier.
  • Check whether you need multi-user management. If several technicians share access, the Teams or Enterprise plans are the ones that include robust user management and granular access assignment.
  • Use the free trial to test the features you actually need. Remote printing, multi-monitor pop-out, and drag-and-drop file copy are the features most worth verifying against your own workflow during the 14-day trial.
