3. Since transferring files is a preferred way, is an FTP process or something within Real VNC the preferred way to move files? RealVNC doesn't include any file transfer utility. One advantage to using ssh for the tunneling is you should be able to use scp or sftp to securely

Where are the checksums for the vnc 4.1.2 distribution?

2006-12-14 Thread ogg
Hello, I was wondering if checksums exist for the vnc 4.1.2 distribution files. I would prefer to get them directly from the RealVNC site. Do they exist on the site and if so does anyone know the URL that will get me to them? The latest ones I can find are for the 4.0 distribution.

Guys, Actually, they're available via http://www.realvnc.com/download.html However, in this instance using older versions won't help, since the problem was (as has been previously discussed) with building the X server for the target system, not with VNC. Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
