Re: [Sheflug] copy files off a vnc connection

[Patrick Beaumont <lizardloop [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One option would be to install an ftp server or web server of some sort on the windows98 machine. I believe xitami web server might suit your needs. http://www.xitami.com/
Using samba would also solve the problem but I have no idea how to set it up. Maybe the SAMBA website has some sort of documentation.
