Do I need Win2k SERVER to host Terminal Services?

From Microsoft's FAQ it sounds like standard win2k can't act as the
"server".

If so, I am back to products like PC/Anywhere. I have used that
before. Is there anything a lot better? PCA works OK but I wonder if
the screen transfers are well enough optimised.

I just want a remote desktop from win2k-SP4 as the "server", and file
transfer.

Any tips much appreciated.

Peter.

Currently there are two flavours of Windows that support Terminal Services:

- Windows Server
- Windows XP Professional

And yes, you're right: Remote Desktop appears to be far better
optimised than either pcAnywhere or WinVNC.

You could set up a VPN to transfer files.
