The one thing worth noting about this is that file transfer capability _is_ a usage feature which goes hand in glove with remote session control; that's why it is always eventually integrated into such tools. There are definite advantages to having this kind of functionality piggybacked on VNC.
Unfortunately, the current architecture of VNC won't easily support it; worse, from my viewpoint, is the fact that attempting to implement it would cause dramatic divergence in the cross-platform core of VNC, due to the differing security models of various operating systems. In the long run, I suspect we will see a solution available via plugins, by exposing VNC's functions; this would give developers the opportunity to add specific functionality without having to rewrite the entire application... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Boyd Ebsworthy" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, 2002-05-20 08:27 Subject: Re: File Transfer with WinVNC? > What is good ?
