Picture sending
 

Ok I'm going to just jump and in say what I'd like to happen (because I'm not sure I'd be able to explain it properly)

What I'd like to do is for my fileserver to take a screen shot every say 10 mins and save it on one of it's hard drives so that I can access it via the network.

What would be the best way to accomplish that?

Basically I want to see who's logged into my fileserver's ftp without having to go upstairs and look.

Cheers - Dilligaf :)

It is windows XP pro. I will have a look for a log file. :) it is called cesar FTP.

Don't want to appear picky, but can we have some more details - eg Server OS & FTP server?

If it's a Win2K/2K3 server, how about using Remote Desktop to keep an eye on it. If it's Linux, then X or vnc to look.

Or do you mean you want to take snapshots periodically to look later? Querying the FTP logfiles would help you do that.

HTH

EDIT - Answered OS & FTP Q before I asked!! WXP also has Remote Desktop if your not logged in.

According to the ACLogic website it has built-in remote control :

Assuming you can access your server from downstairs you should be able to administer it from there.

Link to how to remote control
