Can this software let me control a remote computer and have

the owner of that remote computer actually see what I'm doing? I want to be able to take control of a computer that is 700 miles away, and I want to see his computer on my screen, and I want to be able to control his computer and have him see exactly what I'm doing on his end, on his monitor. So he wouldn't be able to use his mouse or control his computer at all while I have control of it, but he'd see me moving the mouse around and opening folders and stuff. Will this software allow that, or will it only allow me to control the remote computer without the remote user seeing what I'm doing, sort of controlling it behind the scenes?

Can I use this software to do file transfer between the two remote computers?

Lastly, will this software allow me to play a music file on one computer and have it be heard on both computers?

thx!

Yes for the control and file transfer.
No for the music. Audio is not supported in current version.

If you want an opensource solution to the audio part of the question check out the videolan project. I have used it in the past for streaming audio and video.
