help re file transfer

[James Weatherall]

Mike,

Slightly off the topic of your questions, but FYI - the VNC Personal and
Enterprise Editions both provide full in-built encryption and file-transfer
support, amongst other enhancements over the current VNC Free Edition, and are
of course fully cross-platform.  And yes, all of our VNC Viewers can be run
stand-alone from a pen-drive!

HTH,
