I just wanted to state, before someone else recreates the wheel, that ULTRA VNC has file transfer (for windows) built in. It works great, and I have even noticed that it is as fast if not faster then windows smb file xfer. Also, ultra has a wonderful video driver that can be installed on 2k/xp machines. Now I have been using this for months now with out problem, and over a 128k link, it is just as fast if not faster then Xvnc on Unix. Now I could go on and say that there is also a nice toolbar in the viewer window, it has a status screen that tells you current encoding and speed, nifty button on the toolbar called start button that clicks the remote start button. Ability to block remote keybord/mouse and blank the monitor on demand, and nicest feature, you can change resolution or take control of a single window on the fly. Now I could go on and on, like with built in chat, but it is stable as realvnc if not moreso.
Just my $.02. http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/ Steve Palocz -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Breland Sent: Wednesday, July 23, 2003 8:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Roasting old chestnuts While I agree that file transfer is needlessly complicating VNC, it is the most requested feature and will help VNC become more popular. For instance, Terminal Server doesn't have file transfer built in. You have to use regular SMB file sharing to transfer files. To this end, I thought I would mention that the next major version of TightVNC 1.3.0 will have file transfer included. Currently Constain is working to get 1.2.9 out this week then he plans to release a beta of 1.3.0 shortly thereafter. You can always get the CVS right now and try it out. BTW, it is only for the Win32 viewer/server. > Oops, I forgot to send this, I'll post it anyway ... > > On Sun, 6 Jul 2003, William Hooper wrote: > >> >> Just because it is requested doesn't mean it is a good idea.
