Remote Update of Software without a Disk?

[Seak, Teng-Fong]

	If your VNC's are connected across Internet, that would be quite hard because Windows doesn't support NFS nor does it accept "mounting" an ftp directory as a disk drive ......

	Maybe you have to setup a VPN tunnel.  Then share your local CD drive so then remote machine could mount (connect) your shared drive.

	I don't know if SMB could work across Internet or what port it's using.  (BTW, is SMB based on TCP/IP?)  You might need to find documentations yourself.
