Subject: Newbie Support - Automating File Transfer(s)
< snip >
What I need is a way to automate a file upload from their business
computer
to my server every night. Does VNC offer this type of functionality? If
so
which product do I purchase?
Thanks so much.

Tom:
What U need is a scheduled job that copies this file from your
customers's computers to your server. VNC is meant for visualizing
the desktop of a remote computer, not file transfer. There are
some remote desktop visualization packages out there that will do
file transfer, but there are usually better options (sftp, ftp
through an SSL tunnel, etc.) which U can set up on a
customer-by-customer basis. Since there are only five or so
variations, U could write an install script that automates
installation of an upload script, with email notification upon
failure (customer changed default folder, etc.). The upload script
can run using "Scheduled Tasks" on WinXP, or cron using Linux (and
possibly Mac).
Thx, Phil Long
