It’s full speed ahead for Meshcentral as we start the holiday season. This week we for another stack of big improvements that continue to drive Meshcentral as a leading solution for open source computer monitoring and management.
- WebRTC file transfers. For a long time, we could manage and transfer files to any Mesh computer. This has been a wonderful feature for being able to access your remote computers and devices and used for anything from getting school work and pushing patches. For a long time, we have had WebRTC support for the control channel of the file feature, but file upload and downloads would still be relayed thru the server. This week, we improved the software so that file transfers are done over WebRTC. As a result, file transfers are faster and Mesh servers deal with a lot less traffic.
- Twitter integration. The Mesh Social Server is making a comeback this week. Ages ago, Meshcentral had Twitter integration, but it was dropped when Twitter changed its API’s. This week, we have a new and improved server with updated Twitter API and an updated Meshcentral Twitter page. It’s still work in progress, but users of Meshcentral.com can now associate their Twitter account once again.
- Improved Mobile Site. Meshcentral’s web site as had a mobile version of the site for a long time, but it was not well known and poorly supported. This week, we completely ditched the old mobile site and replaced it with the Meshcentral mobile application. This is the same code base that run the MeshCommunicator application, the “My Friends” tab and other links. We also fully integrated the mobile site so your don’t have to login again if already logged into the desktop site, and you can easily switch from one to the other.
- Mobile App Remote Files. This week, we also added remote file access to the Meshcentral web application. This new feature joins remote desktop and remote terminal and makes the Meshcentral web application a quite powerful application for remote management from phones and tablets. Just hit the new “Mobile Site” link on the bottom right of the web site.
I could go on, we have countless improvements made by user requests. For example: improved MeshCommand.exe so it can work on any mesh server automatically, improved Intel AMT activation from the cloud, improved mesh agent with local management configuration, fixes for Windows Domain authentication and much more. Many thanks to people who report bugs and help me fix them.
Questions and feedback appreciated,
