Send files during remote control
Click to send files to the managed computer that is remotely controlled. Enter the name
of the source file to be copied and the destination path on the managed computer.
Select the required compression and encryption options.
If you are controlling multiple clients within a single window, this dialog sends a file only
to the master client.
Source filename. Enter the name of the file to be sent.
Destination path. Enter the path where you want the file to reside on the managed
computer.
Compress Data. Select to compress the file during the copy process to decrease
network traffic.
Encrypt Data. Select to encrypt data package for security.
You can also drag entire folders from the Deployment Console computer to the remote
control window, which copies the files to the remote client computer.
Remote control properties
Color Depth. Click to specify the color depth (number of colors) used by the Remote
Control window. This setting applies only to the Remote Control window at the console,
not to the display of the managed computer. There is no benefit of setting a color depth
on the Remote Control window greater than that of the managed computer. The benefit
of lower color depths is improvement in speed.
Use specific image resolution. Click to specify the width and height of the image that
represents the client display.
Update Interval. Select to specify how often the image in the Remote Control window
is updated (in milliseconds). The more frequently the display is updated, the more
bandwidth is required.
Only update foreground window. Select to refresh only the selected window in the
remote control session.
Set remote control permissions
Deployment Solution provides multiple features for ensuring privacy and security when
a managed computer is remotely controlled. Before a managed computer can be
remotely controlled, the Remote Control preferences on the Deployment Agent for
Windows must be set to allow remote control access.
You can also lock the keyboard and mouse of the managed computer or set a prompt for
the user, asking for permission to initiate a remote session. This lets the user accept or
reject the request. In certain environments, such as a lab or classroom, using a prompt
to ask for permission might not be preferred.
To remotely set security options on each managed computer, use
from the console or open Properties on the Deployment Agent on the client computer
(you must access Admin properties).
1. After opening the Deployment Agent property page, select the Remote Control
tab.
2. Select Allow this computer to be remote controlled to provide access from the
Deployment Server Console.
