About

remoted lets you start hosts and guests.

Hosts are machine that can be remotely controlled.

Guests are machines that will send commands to hosts.

When a guest connects to a host a command line interface will be provided.

These machines can found each other by sending UDP messages with some help from udp-node.

You can run normal shell commands on the host and get their output.

You can open applications and documents.

And there are some built-in commands for you to enjoy, allowing you to send OS notifications and play audio.

Usage

Start a host on one machine with:

remoted --host [hostname]

Start a guest on a another machine instructing it to connect to your host:

remoted [hostname]

NOTE:

Hosts and guests will discover each other no matter which one is started first ;)

Built-In Commands

On a host connected to a guest you can use any of the following commands:

OS Commands

  • open [path/file]: Opens file with default application for its type.
