Your question wasn't ignored, at least not by one side of the argument.
The argument seems to be over whether VNC should cater at all for your
needs.
If you have a large set of files and you are happy with using IRC (or
rather, DCC) for small numbers of files, you might want to archive the
large set of files, using eg. ZIP tools. This will create a single large
file, which should be practical to transfer via DCC.
