File Transfer :: Beyond Remote Working - WOW
Still working on transferring files between two computers.
Decided to go back and try Beyond Remote again.
I looked up a working port on a internet site, it looks like my port 1030 will not work for some reason, maybe the firewall is shutting it down.
Port 5424 looks like it is working and so I change the port to 5424.
Then I remembered that I did not turn my firewall off, after I turned zone alarm off on my main computer and set it up as the server the other computer could make a connection and it asked me for the password.
That’s when I remember that I installed this software several months ago and obviously I put in some unique password that I have no way of remembering now.
I should just uninstall the software and then install it again, I know that would be a lot faster… But I just keep trying one more password at a time.
I looked though my password book but this password didn’t make it into the book.
After a lot of tries I was able to guess the password and I got it working.
It will transfer one directory at a time, it will not transfer two directories.
So it looks like I have to do 50 or 80 transfers I am not sure how many directories there are.
On the up side it does transfer fairly fast about 1 or 2 minutes where the ftp program was taking 10 or 20 minutes one way.
I don’t really like sending each directory separately but it’s the best solution I have at the moment. The real problem is just keeping track of which ones I have sent and which ones are left.
The old notebook method is what I come up with, I write each directory down when I send it that way I can keep track of where I am in the process.
Every time it finishes sending it makes a little tone, so I can work on something else for 2 minutes then click on the next folder.
It’s hard for me to believe this is the only way, out of the dozens of methods I have tried, that works at all – that’s really sad.
