Control Remote Screens from Android
Remote screen access turns an Android phone into a portable way to view and control a linked computer. Users can open the machine's desktop, move the remote pointer with touch gestures, tap for mouse actions, scroll with two fingers, and pinch to change the view. Screen quality and size controls help balance readability against the available connection.
Toolbar actions support copying and pasting text, sending keystrokes, switching displays, entering full-screen mode, and enabling view-only operation when direct input is not needed. This workflow suits quick checks on a home PC, brief support sessions, or urgent server tasks when a laptop is unavailable. The remote computer must already have a DWAgent linked to the user's account before it appears in the mobile client.
Move and Organize Remote Files
DWService can handle remote files without requiring the full desktop view. The Files and Folders tool lets users browse drives and directories, search for items, create folders, rename entries, move or copy content, and transfer files between the Android device and the remote machine. Multiple tabs make it easier to keep separate locations open during a task.
These controls are useful when a needed document remains on another computer or when an administrator must reorganize files while away from the office. File details such as size, modification time, owner, group, and access rights remain visible, while permission controls can be applied to selected files or folders. Users should check the target carefully before delete, move, or permission changes because those actions affect the remote system.
Run Commands and Monitor Resources
Remote administration goes beyond the desktop and file browser. The Resources tool summarizes operating system, processor, memory, and storage information, then provides views for running processes and services. Depending on permissions and the remote platform, users can stop tasks, start or stop services, and investigate a machine that needs attention.
Shell access opens command-line sessions in tabs, while Text Editor and Log Watch support configuration changes and live review of text-based logs. Together, these tools are useful for IT staff who need to diagnose an unavailable service, inspect resource usage, or make a small remote adjustment from Android. Availability can vary with the operating system and the way DWAgent is configured.
Switch Between Accounts and Agents
The Android client organizes access around a DWS account rather than asking users to add every machine again. After an account is configured, the app retrieves agents already associated with it, allowing users to move from the account list to the computer they need. This keeps personal devices, work machines, and remote support endpoints grouped under their existing setup.
People who manage separate personal, workplace, or client environments can add multiple accounts and switch between their linked agents. Account information is available from the same mobile experience, and the startup screen provides links to cookie, privacy, and terms documents. This structure is especially useful for freelancers and IT teams that need a clear boundary between different sets of remote computers.
