SOFTWARE TIP OF THE WEEK
Remote Desktop: Accessing Your Towson Computer Remotely
The Towson Remote Desktop feature allows faculty and staff at Towson University to connect remotely to their Towson computer from any other computer (home, hotel or different location on campus). Once connected, you will see the desktop of the computer you are remotely connected to. You will have access to all software and data, just as if you were actually sitting at the computer. For information on how to access Remote Desktop, go to the following links to view the self-help documents:
