Plugins
Plugins provide additional functionality to MyDiskServer. Page content is dynamically generated when plugins are accessed from an Internet browser.
These plugins require the latest version of MyDiskServer.
Remote Control
This plugin enables you to control your computer remotely. An image of the current display is shown and mouse clicks on the image are directed to the remote computer. The display is updated accordingly. The viewer requires no additional software, not even Java, which means you can control your computer from almost any device on any network.
