Missing file transfer function

[linoter]

Hey Rudi

I'm wondering if you are going to implement the file transfer function in PHW?
If yes could you tell me something about the schedule?

Thanks.

You have filetransfer functions, but it work a little different.
Instead of a seperate filetransfer interface, we use the clipboard for it.
copy file == ctr-alt-c
paste file == ctrl-v

You use it the same way as local copy/paste of files, you only need to remember to use ctrl-ATL-c instead of ctr-c to copy.

Hi Rudy,

2 followers:

a) do copy&paste work for whole directories?
b) will a seperate filetransfer interface be implemented in the near future
you know, I'm a big NortonCommander junkie

@Rudi:
I'm quite impressed. Next time I should have a closer look...

[Rudi De Vos]

a) do copy&paste work for whole directories? yes

There is a limitation in size ( 100Mb). For big file transfer
there exist other and better tools, you need resume.

b) Not by me.
Using the clipboard the file transfer doesn't require a gui, simple to implement. I wante to avoid making a gui, lots of work. But you can use
your NC to select files...if you want.

thanx for your clarifications, Rudi.

For me the file transfer function via clipboard does not work.
I press Ctl-Alt-C for a marked file in Window Explorer of the server PC and see a "File Copy in Progress (recv)" window which never ends.
Of course, on the viewer side I cannot paste the file in Window Explorer. An error message appears saying that the file cannot be read.

Could it be that this function requires administrator rights? I haven't tested that yet.

I do a Ctrl-Alt-C and it says it's RECV and then it SENDS and there is nothing on my clipboard. Then it overloads the connection and the connection is dropped. I am using a 10MB UltraVNC Repeater V014 to proxy the connection. The repeater is a linux repeater of course and is working great to create connections. I don't have problems sending files from the viewer to the server (host) but getting files from the host is not working.
