Connecting to a remote device

Ensure AnyDesk is installed on both local and remote devices. You need the remote device's AnyDesk ID (9–10 digits) or Alias to start a session.

🦉 Learn more about ID and Alias in this article.

Depending on the remote device’s configuration, you’ll either:

• Enter the Unattended Access password, or
• Wait for the Remote User to manually accept the session.

To connect to a remote device

1. Get the remote device's AnyDesk ID or Alias.
   
2. On the local device, from which you want to connect to the remote device, enter the AnyDesk ID in the Remote Address field and click or press Enter.
   
3. When prompted:
   • Enter the Unattended Access password that you previously set up on the remote device, or
     
   • Wait for the remote user to manually Accept the request.

Once connected, the session will start and you will see the Remote Desktop. You can now control the device, transfer files, and more.
