Alternatively, if we helped the VNC team improve VNC's ability to do what
it was designed to do, we could remove that visual lag, and you could edit
the file in place on the remote machine. Or we could distract them with
file transfers that it was not intended to do, and continue to have slower
than necessary screen updates. This distraction is my primary reason for
not wanting to put file transfer in VNC. Let VNC get better at what it was
designed to do, and let file transfer programs get better at what they were
designed to do.
