this might already be in the works but did not see it. It would be nice to be able to open up the devices C drive without connecting to the device. to copy and paste files in the back ground.

THE ABILITY TO COPY/PAST/MOVE WITH OUT BEING IN A SESSION LIKE TEAM VIEWER

New Features

Hello! Please add the following functions:

1. File transfer without connecting to the user.
2. Run files on behalf of the system without connecting to the user.
3. Correct the incorrect display of Russian text in the console


Thank you.

Make an option to disable file explorer opening on the host when sending/receiving files.

Similar products have the option to modify the installer for unattended hosts so that you can send/receive files without any visual confirmation on the host. It would be nice to be able to turn off the opening of file explorer on windows hosts when transferring files to/from hosts. This enables the remote control of kiosks and infoboards without interrupting whatever service they run when transferring files.

Deploy files to a specific location on remote machine

CW Admin to deploy files/folder to a user's computer without starting a session.

Option to do data file transfer even without logging in to a session
Side by side file transfer

Similar to how most remote support tools work like LogMeIn, etc

View local file system on left, view remote file system on right, transfer files or folders in either direction

Display option to select destination of file

Partner would like an option to select where a file is sent instead of the default folder.

Has there been any movement on this?  This is a feature we used to use a lot with UltraVNC (which was free). I find it hard to believe that other users have not been asking for this. Is this even being worked on?

This is actually (one of) the most requested features in the past say 6 or 7 years, other users not asking for this seems not to be the issue here ;)

I really don't know why a company like this don't care about the requests of the users that makes their business alive !

Isn't RunCommandOutsideofSession how the ransomware encryption is happening? Seems like file transfer also would be a really, really bad idea. I have disabled my RunCommand and SwitchLogonSesion settings....

In what way are these things connected in your opinion?

Any RMM can have this problem. Screenconnect/ConnectWise Control is very well protected as far as i'm concerned.

Offcourse if you run it on premise (instead of hosted) you are responsible to keep a server well protected and up to date.

The known problems with RMMs and Ransomware where all servers that where not secure enough, not infected through the RMM itself.

Works with screen connect. No issues with file transfers, no need to bother the user:

Works in backstage as well.

Rather than using Explorer++ in Backstage, I recommend using Just Manager. It's fully featured, efficient, and I have yet to run in to a bug. It also doesn't flicker in Backstage as some apps do.

I tried posting a link but the post went into moderation, and based on past experience I think it will never exit moderation, so instead google "Just Manager" and it will be the first hit.

Just Manager has a domain with a .ru tld.   That is no doubt what triggered moderation.  I'd be cautious with any .ru source.

As far as I tell, the problem with the screenshot you are showing, is that you first have to connect to a session and possibly disturb the user on the other end. It would be great to launch a File Transfer Session directly. There are a lot of times when we need to transfer data files without interrupting the other user.

Its been 2 years since the last person requested or posted on this but so many other RMM's allow this now and this really can't be that hard as to just have an option using the same module built into the control screen as as something easily run since "File Explorer" already exists..i mean just enable us to download via that, it really cant be that hard.
