How to transferring files between two remote computers without sharing.

I was just wondering if it is possible to copy the remote desktop files (remote desktop allows you to connect to that computer, remote desktop connection allows a user to connect to that computer) from Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 and put them into Windows XP Home so users can connect to the Home edition computer?

A: You can use NetMeeting or VNC to transfer the data. NetMeeting is built-in to XP/Windows 2K and downloadable for other Windows OS from MS. You can get the VNC server and client software from http://www.realvnc.com. The problem with VNC is the data stream is not encrypted.
