that is one way to use VNC to machines behind a firewall?
what is another?

i don't understand. i merely meant you'd run an ftp server
on one end and move files that way. Q55 in the FAQ suggests
"use the standard file transfer built into Windows, or use
FTP, or netcat, or the web, or rcp, or ssh, or... ". when
it refers to 'std file xfer build into windows" aren't they
talking about mapped drives? m not sure what u mean by
'moving' HTTP on the client end. can u plse explain?
