I've been using RSM (PolyPM) and Netop for remote control and file transfers, but file transfers with these apps are painfully slow compared to FTP. Netop being the worst even when disabling graphic mode. None of these apps achieves even half the speed of FTP. Besides, development of RSM stopped years ago, and local support of Netop hardly exists when you mention OS/2, even though they still develop the server part.
Would like to know what programs others use for these tasks.

Hi,

I use VNC (Virtual Network Computer) http://www.os2site.com/sw/internet/remote/ on the server I have here downstairs as well as some Win boxes at a clients, and PM-VNC pmvnc104_ow.zip on my main PC here. Also allows me to sort out stuff on my wifes Mac elsewere in the house which comes with VNC as part of the latest Mac OSX versions.

For file transfers, I um, have a local network for that :-)

For one remote client I simply use FTP, plenty of FTP servers around and its easy enough to start from the server via VNC.

I use Peter Moylans FTP Server, available from Peters website at http://www.pmoylan.org or various other places including http://www.os2site.com/sw/internet/ftp/

Cheers

Tks for info.
I have already tried Peter Moylans FTP Server and it works great so I'll stick to that.
Some time ago I also tried VNC, but had some issues setting it up correctly.
Will give it another try.
