Send a File

The Send File operation is an excellent way to install new versions of software on remote machines. For example, if Neon Software produces a new version of the Responder client, you can use Send File to distribute the new client software without having to physically visit the remote computer.

Select the file you would like to send and click Open. After the file has been selected, specify the destination to which to send the file you have selected. If a file with the same name already exists in that destination on the remote computer, the old file will be moved to the remote computer's Trash or Recycle Bin before the new file is sent from the LANsurveyor machine.

Select the Launch file after sending option to automatically launch or open the file on the remote computer.

If you send a file with a ".sit" extension to a Mac OS or Mac OS X system, LANsurveyor will automatically extract the files from the StuffIt® archive.

Software Distribution

Use Send File in conjunction with the Send a Message, Quit a Process, and Launch an Application operations to install a new version of a running application.

Or, simply Launch file after sending for silent installs.
