Thanks Alan for your comments. As stated I've not used anything other than VNC and it has served me well. As I have outline for the small amount of file transfers I need I use network neighbourhood either directly from my pc or from the VNC'd end. Of course what is unique I guess is I work for a reasonably large Government Department and thus my VNCing is mainly on our side of the firewall, although do use VNC via VPN when on the otherside and no problems.
