vncviewer toolbar- no file transfer option! icons missing!

[marf999]

it seems are if icons may be missing. I remember once there were many, like this, including a file transfer option. 14 icons !

I could reinstall and see what happens, but I remember having 14. I'd rather know the cause and solution, and avoid it happening again.

if you connected to some vnc flavor, this normal to not see unsupported feature like chat and filetransfer

so how do I get the file transfer option ?

I have used the file transfer feature before. I'm sure it was with uvnc, and that uvnc picture I linked to from the web, with the 14 icons, confirms that it was.

you, maybe, disabled file transfer on server

both image are same exact url and same picture check your first post.

ok.. well that was a pic of the 9 icons.

Yet what I want is 14 icons, like on this standard uvnc link

If you say it's disabled, then I ask you. Where precisely is the option to enable it?

thanks. though it turns out that wasn't the solution..

problem with missing icons including file transfer one missing, was because RealVNC server was also running. As soon as I turned that off, it worked. I may have had to then close and (re)start the UltraVNC server (after closing the realVNC Server).

disabling file transfer still leaves the file transfer icon, infact, all 14 icons, there. (The message that file transfer is disabled comes up in the file transfer window. ) So that option doesn't cause the symptom I had.

It was the realVNC that caused it.

Side note - I was actually running in a 'limited' account in win xp. So couldn't close realVNC from that account. It meant loggin in as administrator, deregistering the realVNC service. (this affects all accounts, stops it in all ). Then going into the limited account, starting the ultravnc server (With runas). The problem was far clearer when testing it from an admin account.
There was a minor thing where from the admin account I closed RealVNC, connected, got 14 icons. Logged off and into the limited account, connected and got 14 icons. Even though REalVNC was still running. Then I restarted, it went into the limited account(still loading realVNC), and I got 9 icons. So, still though, aside from a silly workaround that breaks after restarting, the real solution to this, is , as mentioned, to just close realVNC or perhaps other / all other VNC Servers.


Now we know a symptom of VNC servers clashing.. Is 9 icons instead of 14.
