Evening, boys & girls.
Following the recent discovery, by labbe5, of the browser-based remote desktop app called DWService, I thought it was time somebody put together a list of just how many remote-control applications you can download for use in Puppy, as of this moment in time.
-----------------------------------
1.) DWService. Similar to TeamViewer in principle, and operation, but runs in your browser instead. A lot more lightweight, too!

2.) BackSeatDriver. Smokey01's masterpiece from early this year. Around 3.5 MB all-in. Includes file-sharing, and live chat via PSIP.....and all running via a VPN.

3.) Remmina. A long-standing Linux remote desktop application. I put together some packages for the 5-series Slackos, but this should be readily available through the PPM of most Pups.

4.) TeamViewer. I haven't been able to get the recent Qt5 releases of this to work; Qt5 and me do not see eye-to-eye. It's incredibly fussy about specific versions, and backwards-compatibility seems to be non-existent compared to Qt4. Nevertheless, the last WINE-based releases of version 12 are still available for download, and still function reliably.

5.) Last, but not least, if you absolutely must have an up-to-date version of TeamViewer, and use any of the Chromium 'clones' (including Chrome itself), there's always the TeamViewer Web App, available as a rather large extension via the Chrome webstore (around 45 MB, I think!)

If anybody wants to do what I've done, i.e. put together a Menu entry for this, so you start it up by itself, follow the instructions I detailed for using NetFlix as a standalone app, here:-

6.) Anydesk. Contributed by Nilson Morales - see post immediately below (thanks, Nilson!), and 'Puppified' by WiZard - see post further down for links & packages. This is small, lightweight, covers all the important bases.....and is a darn sight smaller than TeamViewer to boot. I'd heard of this previously, never got around to investigating, and definitely wasn't aware it had a Linux port. Having tried it, I'm impressed. This may well become one of the main TV replacements for Puppy, and, as WiZ has found out, it's a good candidate for a 'portable'.
-------------------------------------------
And that, boys & girls, is the current 'state of play' with regard to remote desktop apps for Puppy. (As far as I'm aware, that is.....) Hope that helps some of you.
