Do one of the following:
To store the file locally on the host computer, under Folder to store record
files, type the location on the host computer in which you want to store
the record file.
To store the file on a central server, click Browse, and then select the
network computer and file location on which you want to store the record
file.
Some host servers require a password to save files on the system. Click
Advanced, and then type the logon credentials that are needed to access
the directory in which you want to store the recording.
Recorded sessions are saved as .rcd files in the pcAnywhere data directory unless
you specify another file location. Sessions are played back in a replay window,
which shows the host screen and each action that you performed during the
recording.
During the replay, you can control the speed, skip to another session, pause, or
take a snapshot. You can control these actions from the Playback Control Panel.
Figure 10-1 shows the Playback Control Panel.
