Lets you transfer files between a host and remote computer using
a two-pane window that functions like Windows Explorer.
You can navigate to the files and folders that you need, transfer
files and folders to and from another computer, and synchronize
content. Files transfer in the background so that you can continue
to work or queue other files. A file transfer session uses less
bandwidth than a full remote control session because only the
data needs to be transmitted between the host and remote
computers.
See
“About pcAnywhere File Transfer”
on page 155.
File transfer
You can optimize performance by starting a connection in remote management
mode or file transfer mode. These modes suspend video transfer to allocate full
resources to the data transfer. If you do not select a start mode, pcAnywhere
defaults to remote control mode. You can switch to a different mode at any time
during a connection.
About the Session Manager
After you establish a connection and log on to the host computer, the Session
Manager window appears on your computer screen. You switch between the
Session Manager modes to perform remote control, remote management, or file
transfer tasks. The tasks that are displayed in the middle of the Session Manager
window navigation bar are only available during a session.
Figure 3-3
shows the Session Manager window during a remote control session.
