Hello all, We've added HTTP based file transfer (up and download) capability to the stock VNC and improved the user-interface. By extending the existing HTTP server that is used to serve up the java applet to also allow file transfer means that no additional ports and/or software needs to be download at the client side. A "My Files" button is added to the java viewer that opens up a browser window to your files on the remote computer with a familiar "explorer" interface.
Give it a try and let me know what you think... This version also includes a dynamic DNS client so that you can use an Internet domain name rather than an IP address to connect to your computer remotely. Early next year, I should have a "standalone" version available. http://www.planetdns.net/client/pdnsrem32v116.exe Regards, Stephan. -- Stephan A.
