I'm in Belgium this weekend, so I'll raise a glass of Hercule[^] to him.
If, that is, we can get the barman to understand. Every time we ask for it, whatever bar we're in, the barman claims that he can't understand our accent. We go through several iterations of "Hercule", "Pardon?", before giving up and pointing to the menu, at which point he replies, "Ah! Hercule" with no discernible difference between his pronunciation and ours.
Bloody Belgians! Why can't they just speak English?

I use PC Anywhere to support some clients' systems. But PC Anywhere doesn't work well on my Windows 8.1, and the Symantec site says it does not support 8 or 8.1.
I can use Remote Desktop for routine configuration, but RD cannot transfer files.
What do you use when you need to transfer files to a remote machine?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

ummm ... are you sure mate ?
What you do is this
a) Bring Up the RDP Panel
b) Expand Options
c) Click Local Resources Tab
d) Click 'More'
e) Expand 'Drives'
f) select the drive you want (local) to be mounted to the remote session
g) finish the connection
h) when you're on the remote machine (Im a bit fuzzy on this bit), in Explorer, you'll see the local drive mounted
copy/whatever
yes ?
[update : at point 'h' the bit Im a bit fuzzy on is 'where'/'how' the local drive shows up in explorer]

well, no blush required - its not obvious, but darned useful, especially when its the only way you can get software onto an (otherwise) secure server for a build process

I just tried it, and it worked really well. Thanks, you really saved me a big headache.

no worries mate - btw, I think RDP manager saves the settings/persists them, so check them when you next fire up RDP and untick the boxes so to speak if you dont want the mapping

Great in its days but I thought it died long ago.

Nah, it works great in Windows 7. It's up to version 12.5, but it's been a long while since there has been a new version.

I've seen you've succeeded so congrats and some extra thoughts just in case you wouldn't have pcanywhere there:
1. Skydrive in both computers.
2. Dropbox.
3. Teamviewer.
4. RealVNC.
5. FTP server (filezilla).

The RealVNC and FTP might work, but the machine in question does not have internet access.

Why not a pendrive or a shared folder?

The target machine does not have internet access. Plus, their firewall would block any attachments that contain executable code.

There's a simpler option than Garth's workaround:
- Open Windows Explorer on the source computer;
- Select the file(s) you want to transfer and copy them: Ctrl+C;
- Open Windows Explorer on the target computer;
- Navigate to the destination folder and paste: Ctrl+V
It works in both directions, and even works for nested RDP sessions.

Just very, very busy. How are you guys doing?

I also appear to be undead.
But without a fixation on necks, or a craving for brainzzzz.
I could go a chocolate Hobnob though.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger.
English doesn't borrow from other languages.
English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.

They do look good.
But...Chocolate Hobnobs were in the kitchen - those in the supermarket.
Proximity trumps quality in this case!

Very very busy, too - But it involves the CodeProject, and I need some distraction once in a while (That is when I come here).

I am dead.
Dead tired anyway.
Getting over a cold*
Back at work now, though.
* Cold. Noun. Runny nose, sore throat, general malaise. Known as Flu' to many an Aussie woofter who haven't had flu before.
