Re: FTP Server
I agree with Steve .
anyway secure connection of VNC is through SSH . so why not include FTP
service INSIDE this connection ? i'm trying to include an FTP server
program within this SSH connection .
if it will work I will post it Steve. good idea , keep on the good thinking
.
(and... take things easy... ) :-)

Re: VNC Invisible
I not talking about the "official" VNC compilation , but about compiling vnc-like-versions (= rfb based) . lets say I compile a pre-configured vnc with taskbar icon hidden and no authhost at port 6000. I add it to some kind of app setup (or a simple vb/javascript!) and spread it around. from now on all these machines are seen without notice ! what's the difference from BackOrifice ? - which is rightfully recognized as a virus .. still I think something should be done about this . at least a condition in the license like ...

Re: VNC Invisible
the problem is that this protocol can run on various ports, so if the there was a hidden setup (virus like) of a vnc-like-app , and it runs hidden - than the system will be monitored even via ports that you must leave open (bi-directional reasons). you can wonder why pcAw was never threatened by these issues: first, it's not an open source, so it's not easy to build things based on its protocols. second, it has fixed ports, so it can be blocked. > I have heard no legitimate reasons for wanting to run VNC without the local > user's consent or knowledge. well , virus-like and crackers activities don't have "legitimate reasons" .. I don't want to be a "drag" but I would really urge to give it a second thought. else, I would expect some of these scenarios to occur , and the future app with rfb protocol to be recognized as "Trojans" in the (near-far) future AntiV.

Re: RemoveWallpaper option

Haven't > found a fix or workaround... true , Active Desktop is *not* supported by the "Remove Wallpaper" feature . anyway , the Active Desktop should be mandatory disabled entirely by windows policy , as it known to have a lot of overload and security issues. if Active Desktop is not your case, then maybe you are putting the reg key not in the right branch category.

Re: VNC Connection Freezes / Drops
From: "James ''Wez'' Weatherall" > This sounds like an issue with your network. Sorry James, it does happen. especialy in the followings: if there is high CPU load on the server, if the server side is very low memory, if the connection speed is 56k and below. if there are more than about 20 hoops between sides. you can call these "network issues" but it is tcp after all and packets do get lost. also noticed that other types of tcp-based connections stay alive (ftp, ssh, and ping). using VNC for long time , I just learned to live with it: close the connection (from viewer side) and reopen it.
