Gitso

Source
Usage
First, the person giving support needs to:

1. Launch Gitso.
2. Click on "Give Support"
3. Click "Connect"

Second, the person who needs help, needs to:

1. Launch Gitso.
2. Click on "Get Help"
3. Type in the "IP Address" provided by the supporter
4. Click "Connect"

Now the person who needs help sits back and watches as someone else moves their mouse and operates their pc from afar.

Note: The person who is giving support needs to have port 5500 open to their machine which requires a port forward on a NATed network.

How it Works

Using Python and wxWidgets, Gitso utilizes other applications for the actual VNC work:

• Getting support relies on x11vnc -connect (varies per platform).
• Giving support relies on vncviewer -listen (varies per platform).
