Introduction
Welcome to the PC2Me Plus Native App.

PC2Me Plus provides remote control of your desktop* from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad. All you need is a desktop, an iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad and the PC2Me Server from 1stWorks.

* Note: if you have multiple monitors, PC2Me provides remote control of whatever part of your desktop can be reached through your primary monitor, not your whole desktop, unless you purchase a Multi-monitor option.

Basic connectivity and functionality for the PC2Me Server is provided at no charge by 1stWorks Corporation as part of your PC2Me Plus purchase from the App Store.


Overview
You install the PC2Me Server software on your desktop PC computer, and leave it running. Then, you connect to your PC2Me Server from your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, and view or control your desktop remotely. PLUS you can listen to Audio from your PC.

Your PC2Me Server has a unique Personal Server Identity that is created when it is installed on your PC. You provide that identity to the PC2Me Plus Native App on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, so it knows where to connect.

You can also connect from the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad through Safari, with this address: http://your-identity.pc2me.net

For more information, see topics in the PC2Me Guide at PC2Me Guide.
