    Teamveiwer is a client and sever program in one. No ports needed to be configured or opened and includes free file transfer. Starting out - highly recommended.

    I use LogMeIn and would heartily recommend it. I wouldn't advise opening 3389 for RDP unless you can firewall it to a known external IP, just opening it to the world will provide a honeypot that hackers can just hammer away at. There have been a few vulnerabilities identified with RDP over the years so better to avoid it if you can, LMI has a completely free version that works perfectly for most uses. Go for that.

    Thanks to Fallstaff

    I've used Logmein and Teamviewer and both are very good.

    I've also used some port forwarding (pick a random external port not 22) on my Router which is forwarded internally to a SSH daemon running on one of my devices, then using SSH tunnelling I can access RDP or VNC installed on the local machines. But as mentioned above this still opens up the possibility of someone trying to hack the SSH daemon.
