To use ClusterDesktop, register as a new user on their website and login. This will allow remote access to your computer via four ports: VNC, RDP, SCP, and noVNC. You can change passwords and configure the number of concurrent connections. If connections fail, troubleshoot by restarting ports or resetting firewall rules. Remote access is available using noVNC, VNC Java, IE RDP, or RDP Java in the browser. Alternatively, use FireFTP or JFTP to transfer files between local and remote systems over SCP. Tutorials provide additional guidance on installation and use.
