I agree with Steve .
anyway secure connection of VNC is through SSH . so why not include FTP
service INSIDE this connection ? i'm trying to include an FTP server
program within this SSH connection .
if it will work I will post it Steve. good idea , keep on the good thinking
.
(and... take things easy... ) :-)
