A friend introduced this to me yesterday and I think this is a pretty good tool and easy to use. I have tried others like Remote Desktop Sharing through NetMeeting, MS Remote Desktop Connection, VNC, Go to Meeting but surprisingly, this is simple and easy to use.
You just have to go to the web page (http://www.showmypc.com/) and select the link “Show my PC to remote user” . It will ask you to download a small program and then give you the option to share your desktop or just view your desktop. Then when you click OK, there will be a password generated.
For the person who wants to view the desktop, start from the ShowMyPC page and click on View Remote User’s PC. You will be asked for the password and immdiately get connected. Simple as that.
Go here for screenshots on setting it up (http://www.showmypc.com/ShowMyPCUI.html)
It looks like it works over SSH and TightVNC back to the main SSH server in the HQ.
