Thanks for replying people, also sorry for not giving my original message a Subject, only realised after I had sent it. Although I think that VNC is a really good little application I think I may go with PC anywhere as I do not know very much about security and so on so I would not want to have to set up VNC and worry about SSH and so on. I assume that as PC Anywhere is sold by a big company to the masses it will be easy to set up. I would also nee file transfer and I think PC anywhere has this but VNC does not. Is PC anywhere the same format i.e. you can see the remote desktop and do anything you like?
