This is meaningless... If I restrict file transfer on my network, this program can be running inside my network - because I have to close the ports to try to prevent any file transfers. Security is not just passwords and encrypted data streams. It is about placing into the network checks to be sure functions that are NOT allowed are not going to happen by some accident. I have servers that are behind firewall from the users, because the vendor code to connect to the servers has extra features that we do not allow. The vendor was thought full to place each feature on different ports, so we block the ports for features that we do not allow. This way, even though we turn off the ports on the servers... If the happen to be missed on turned on by accident, we still have a line of defence. That is what security is about. Making away to protect, even if accident happen. Setting that extra hurdle. jackb _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
