A remote communication system and method are disclosed. An environment is identified defining a plurality of semaphore flags communicated between a first and a second computer as part of a remote session (i.e., the first computer remotely controlling the second computer via the remote session), with each semaphore flag defining an action associated with the remote session. A first application, via a unidirectional communication with the environment, modifies at least one semaphore flag associated with the environment (e.g., modifying commands to open or close files, keyboard scan codes, cursor position, mouse position, clipboard data, screen resolution, or channel administration), wherein the modified semaphore flag is extracted by an interceptor associated with the second computer and, the interceptor, based on a look-up, executes a pre-defined action affecting the remote session, wherein the pre-defined action being different than the modified semaphore flag's associated action.
