Does file transfer via Cut & Paste actually work?

Does file transfer via Cut & Paste actually work? Once connected to the server, I can "right-click copy" on the file I want, but when I come to paste it to the viewing computer, the paste option is greyed out and hence unavailable.

Please help!

Many thanks,

Prospero

It used to work in early UltraVNC versions... but only over a MS LAN with Netbios protocole enabled.
Furthermore both machines (logged users on both sides) must have read/write access rights to the folders that are copied...
A lot of conditions...
That's the main reason why I've developped the FileTransfer GUI.

You'de better use it instead of copy/paste...

I have to check if the File copy/paste code is still there.
I could try to make it work again if I have time.

I think this would be really hard to do, but if the FT would auto open and send the file you copied that would be awsome.

Totally agree.
