Re: Is there a VNC server that supports file transfer function for tinycore?

In the afternoon, I tested x11vnc on a 64 bit system and used the command line: (x11vnc -permitfiletransfer) to run VNC server normally, but the file transfer function is still not available!
These extensions have been installed on the system. I tested 64 bit mainly using x11vnc, but the results were not satisfactory. It still does not support VNC file transfer function!

Checking the manual page
There are other options related with file-transfer, maybe they are related ?

-tightfilexfer
Enable the TightVNC file transfer extension.

Oh~, almost forgot, have you check the permission of the target directory ?
permission of the target directory?  What does this mean? According to the current test results, under tinycore in X64, X11VNC is installed, and only commands such as [sudo x11vnc -forever -loop -ultrafilexfer], when combined with UltraVNC's vncviewer.exe, can achieve file transfer functionality! But it cannot be copied and pasted, only VNC-Viewer-7.13.0-Wdows-64bit.exe and TightVNC's tvnviewer.exe can achieve the copy and paste function! Other parameters such as [-permitfiletransfer -tightfilexfer] do not take effect!

By "target directory", I mean, the location where you are copying from or to.
Are you copying files from windows to /mnt/sda1 ?
Usually, the ownership of /mnt/sda1 is root:root, so you can't just copy into it.

only commands such as [sudo x11vnc -forever -loop -ultrafilexfer], when combined with UltraVNC's vncviewer.exe, can achieve file transfer functionality

This means you CAN transfer files, right ?

But it cannot be copied and pasted, only VNC-Viewer-7.13.0-Wdows-64bit.exe and TightVNC's tvnviewer.exe can achieve the copy and paste function!

Are you expecting that by dragging files from windows, it'll just pop up on TC desktop ?
If that's the case, that would be a total different issue.
You'll need a much heavier desktop environment.

No, just copying and pasting the clipboard content! At present, testing shows that only X11VNC under X64 can achieve it, and there seems to be no VNC SERVER available on 32-bit.

Maybe a clipboard manager would help? It wouldn't hurt to try. Parcellite is in the TCL15 repo (both x86 and x86_64).
