Remote Administration

I know this sounds very dodgy, but basically, i want to develop some server-client software that will allow me to view the contents of a friends computer screen via the internet/his ip address, that is updates every 5 seconds for example. I have been thinking of using winsock for this.

Just wondering if this an easy task? Any advice? Any examples/urls for information?

This is purely for use on a friend, and is not some vicious virus!

Thanks

it is sure not an impossible task ( but sure as #$^#
not an easy one in anny programming language )

but why would you develop something like that ??

if there are somany tools around that can do the samething and more .....commercial ones likeÿ pcanywhere etc etc ,,,,


and here it comes :-)ÿ yes it exists a product that is superiour to the commercial onesÿ a freeware product that can even control linux , unix , solaris machines , macintosh , and even CE
(oh yeahh uhhh windows 9.x and NT is suported )

it is called VNC and is developped by AT&Tÿ i have used this product for years for remote administration purposes ( it is like a terminal server session , so iow you can control evything you like and works even on win 9.x systems wich terminal server can`t )

here is the link to download
