It is very convenient to control your home computer remotely using a mobile phone. While on the street, on the subway or at work, you can connect to the machine at any time and see what tasks are being performed on it, stop any of them or start new ones.
Instructions
Step 1
First of all, you need a so-called "white" IP address. You will have to connect it with your provider. Please note that this is a rather expensive service.
Step 2
Make sure that the technical condition of the computer allows you to leave it turned on unattended. Thoroughly clean the machine from dust, lubricate the fans to avoid the risk of stopping. Replace any faulty electrolytic capacitors on the motherboard. If you do not have sufficient experience to work with high voltages, entrust the cleaning of the power supply to a specialist. It is undesirable to leave a running computer with a powerful processor or video card unattended.
Step 3
Connect the most inexpensive of unlimited tariffs for Internet access with a mobile operator.
Step 4
The first way to communicate with a computer remotely is to use the Telnet protocol. This can be controlled by a computer running both Linux and Windows. The Linux Telnet Server Configuration Guide is located at the following address:
Windows users will need other instructions:

www.redline-software.com/rus/support/articles/networking/windows2 … You will have to install the MidpSSH program on your phone. You can download it here
www.xk72.com/midpssh/ Set a strong password for Telnet login on your computer. Configure the MidpSSH program by entering your computer's IP address. Try to connect to it: if a form for entering a login and password appears on the phone screen, and after entering them - the command line, then the setting is done correctly. Never work on a computer from a phone under an administrator account (in Linux - root). Use SSH encryption protocol whenever possible
Step 5
The second method of remote control of a computer is available only in Windows, but it allows you to use a graphical interface, and a "white" IP address is optional. But this does not mean that you will need to pay less, since you will have to use a commercial program, and in the absence of a "white" IP-address, you will also have to pay for the service with a special proxy server. This way is involved in using the Remote Desktop for Mobiles software package. It consists of a server program for a computer and a client program for a phone. The procedure for configuring and installing the complex is described in the following article:
Step 6
If you cannot get a "white" IP address or connect an inexpensive unlimited tariff for Internet access from your phone, you can connect your computer to a WiFi router and use a phone with WiFi (for example, Nokia C3). In this case, data exchange is carried out without the participation of a cellular network, but working with a computer from a phone is possible only at a short distance from the router.
