ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for debugging a computer program executing on a remote computer physically distant from a local computer are provided. The local and remote computers are connected via a network. The remote computer includes a redirection device operative to transmit the video output of the remote computer to the local computer via the network connection. The redirection device may also receive user input commands generated at the local computer and provide the input commands to the remote computer as if the input commands were physically generated by a user at the remote computer. The remote computer also includes a software program to be debugged and a debugger program. The local computer includes a remote control software application operative to receive and display the video output transmitted from the remote computer. The remote control application also receives user input commands, such as keyboard or mouse commands, received at the local computer and transmits the commands to the redirection device. The remote control application may be utilized to execute commands on the debugger application and to debug the software program executing on the remote computer from the local computer.
