Can I Set Up Remote Access on My Steam Deck in Both Modes?

-

I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to get a remote access service, like Anydesk, to start automatically in both desktop and gaming modes on my Steam Deck. Anyone have experience with this?

Getting remote access to work in gaming mode is tricky; desktop mode is much more straightforward for that. If all you’re looking to do is manage files, I’d recommend checking out SSHFS! It’s how I handle file management on my Deck. Here’s a tutorial that might help: [The Complete SSHFS Tutorial](https://youtu.be/2QSpdKcXUww).
