Can you access a computer from the iPod touch without installing anything onto the computer?
Q. Ok so I have looked around a lot on this matter and I keep finding stuff like VNC (or VNSea) that allows you to access the computers on your WiFi network, but all of these require you to install something onto the computer itself. Is there a way to access the computer WITHOUT even touching the computer? Thanks in advance!
