Remotely access your GoToMyPC host computer

Once GoToMyPC is set up on your host Mac or PC, you can access it immediately from almost any other Mac, Windows PC or mobile device that is connected to the internet.

To access your computer using GoToMyPC, do the following:

  • Ensure that your host computer is accessible (turned on and connected to the internet with GoToMyPC running).
  • Be at a separate computer or have a mobile device at hand.
  • Know your email address, password, and access code.
  1. Go to www.gotomypc.com and sign in to your account with your email address and password.
  2. If you have multiple GoToMyPC accounts associated with one email address, choose the account you want to access and select Go.
  3. On the My Computers page, choose the computer you want to access and select Connect.
    Note:
    • If a Mac or PC's status is Offline, you cannot access that host.
    • If you are a GoToMyPC Corporate user and your host is a shared PC that is being accessed by another GoToMyPC user, In Session appears as a connection option. If you choose to connect to a PC while it is in session, the session in progress will be terminated. Keep in mind that the In Session notification is displayed until the first user terminates the connection with the host PC and you refresh your browser.
  4. Select Run, Always, Allow, or Trust to download GoToMyPC Viewer.
  5. When prompted, enter your access code for the host computer and select OK.
    Remember: An access code is unique to each host computer and is different from the account password.

    Result: You are now connected to your host Mac or Windows PC. You can access all your files, applications, and emails as if you were physically there.
