Now to connect to another computer, the client gives you a section to place the ID of the computer where you are going to connect and will ask you for a password that it must provide youIn the same way, it gives you an ID and a password that you will use to connect remotely to your computer.

You must place these and on the machine that you are going to control remotely you must accept the incoming connection.
