I am assuming you mean on Windows, because ssh works pretty much everywhere else(and then xwindow forwarding or whatever you want riding on top.)

If you dont need the other user logged in, have you tried RDP? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17463/windows-7-con...

I have (in the distant past) paired this with a little dynamic dns script (so they had a hostname) and some firewall rules to make sure RDP wasnt available to the general internet.

This has quite a few limitations but if you are looking for free, it does work.
