To anyone with networking expertise, I have a remote computing problem to deal with. Perhaps it is very simple deal with Norton PC Anywhere software. But, I want to know if I can do it within Windows 95 and/or NT. Here is the deal - I have large chunks of data to be uploaded frequently to a remote computer. Right now I am using dial-up (long distance phone call) networking in to the NT server. The process often takes 90 minutes or longer. I could zip the files locally and send the zip file by dial-up. But the problem is with unzipping at the other (server) end (help on the other end is minimal to get it unzipped.) That is, I have to use the local (my end) CPU to unzip at the server end which in essence means that it is a double transfer on the phone lines. Perhaps taking twice as much time as a down load. Now, the question is, "Is there a way I can use the server CPU to execute the unzip command and restore the zipped files on the server side?" i.e. as if you were using something like a VAX mini. BTW, I have LIMITED privilege on the server. Any ideas? Is the Norton PC Anywhere is the way to go? -Mohan
