Filetransfer Tool

Hi, we currently plan to replace our Remote Control Tool (PC-Duo if anyone wants to know, quite cool, but also expensive) with VNC. Nearly all features of PC-Duo are also in VNC, though it is a bit slower. What I miss is a Filetransfer Tool, since our users need that (all on Win platform), and pe

Tight Encoder

Hi, did anyone use the Tight Encoder Version a lot? Is it stable enough? The author states on his homepage, that he didn't run or test it, and that there's no support for it availible. Bevor we deploy it to LOTS of machines, I'd like to know, if there are any known issues with that version. Since

Tight Encoder and Win2K?

Tight Encoder + Win2k -> no connect before Logon

Hi, what I found out now, is that one can't connect to a Win2k Machine when there's noone logged on. I guess this is not a fault of the tight encoder version, but a generic VNC problem? Could anyone clarify this? Lars -- Lars Oeschey - Media Saturn GF

Win2k logoff disconnect

who is connected?

Hi, is there any plan, to implement a feature that tells you WHO is already connected to some client? What I mean is, if you connect to a client, where someone already is connected, you can set "CennectPriority" to "2" to deny the new connection, which is good. But since we have quite a few admin
