While I was messing around the remote control software I decided to look at FTP servers as well. I'd been thinking for a while that I should really install an FTP server on the 'Server in the Cellar.' Because I want to keep that server separate from the other computers at home I've been using old fashioned 'sneakernet.' That is, I've been putting the files I want to transfer onto disk and running up and down the stairs exchanging files from one computer to the other like that.

This is the server being controlled by another computer using UltraVNC FTP Servers The 'Server in the Cellar' desktop on top of another computer's desktop.

Remote Home - This is FTP server software. I had trouble getting NR_server working but NR_server2 worked first time. On the other machine just start the client software. On the machine you want to remotely control just open the zip file and start one of the servers. Programs without links are no long accessible (2022). When you use this software ensure you remember to set the passwords as these programs can give full control to anyone who needs it. I found the following products and installed them on the 'Server in the Cellar'. I've used PCAnywhere by Symantec before but I wondered if there was a cheaper (or free) solution.

I was talking to an accountant, it seems she had a client a couple of hours drive away and asked me if there was a way for me to have access to the client's files and do the accounts from home. At college, we were given demonstrations of Proxy by Funk Software and Citrix. During October 2003, remote control of computers seemed to have been a subject that cropped up a lot in my life.
