Managing remote connections
For computers to which you connect frequently, Symantec pcAnywhere lets you
select the connection and security settings that you want to use and store this
information in a remote connection item file. Connection item files appear as
icons in the Remotes window. Remote connection item files (.chf) are stored in
the pcAnywhere data directory.
Adding a remote connection item to Favorites
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you manage the connection items that you use most
frequently by adding them to the Favorites window. This window supports folder
management to organize your connections.
