>>Hi all
>>
>>Currently we need to have data transferred from 1 site to another and vice versa. This is done by modem using pcAnywhere9.
>>
>>But we have problems with this as pcAnywhere uses a DOS engine and we have no way of knowing whether the data was actually transferred and have not much control of the process.
>>
>>What we need is some way of transferring files using the modems, but NOT by the Internet as many do not as yet have an internet connection.
>>
>>Is there some product out there that we can use or do any of you have ideas to throw my way, I wil be eternally grateful as this pcAnywhere is frustrating.
>>
>>They expect you to run batch files. Another thing is that we have to keep looking for the presence of a file and assume that the transfer went ok.
>>
>>Thanks in advance

RAS I,ve heard of, but don't know how to connect etc. programattically.
VPN have'nt heard of that, or do they go together. Any more info will be appreciated.
