    Just to clarify your question... you want some recommendations for software that does this?

    I think something like GoToAssist is what you want - Citrix Systems » Citrix GoToAssist

    I have used both and I think GoToAssist is the better of the two - both are relatively pricey for low use however.

    A colleague of mine seems pretty impressed with Team Viewer: TeamViewer - Free Remote Access and Remote Desktop Sharing over the Internet

    Teamviewer's alright if both parties are on Windows.

    I use logmein because it works from my linux desktop here to support windows clients, not sure about GotoAssist.

    How about WebEx? I'm sure they're all relatively pricey though...

    If you go to the team viewers website it is multi platform ( at least between windows and OS X ) not sure on linux.

    CrossLoop Sounds Just About Right

    Hi,

    Why not look at CrossLoop (http://www.crossloop.com)?

    It is slightly different to what you wanted; the client requesting support has to download a small client (could be hosted on your website though) but said client removes itself after you have finished.

    I have used it with friends and family and it saves a lot of time!

    I use Secure Meeting by Juniper Networks.

    You do need their SSL VPN also mind you as its a bolt on to that so not a cheap option
