Using the Capture Frame as a Guest
To begin any outgoing Control or Observe session, launch the service normally. If the Use Capture Frame
option is enabled on the host computer, the screen-sharing window will be blank until the user of the
host computer clicks the Play button in the Capture Frame. Once the session begins, the screen-sharing
window will display only the portion of the host computer’s desktop that appears inside the Capture
Frame. The host user may move or resize the Capture Frame at any time.
When the Capture Frame is enabled, you will be able to use the Control and Observe services normally.
The only exception is that you will not be able to move or resize the Capture Frame, even when you con-
trol the host computer.
Using the Capture Frame as a Host
When you have enabled the Use Capture Frame option on your computer, you must be present to allow
the an incoming Control or Observe session to proceed. For details, see
Controlling a Macintosh Computer
Controlling a Macintosh computer is usually the same as controlling a Windows computer. However, Win-
dows and Mac keyboards are slightly different. If you need to send a Command (
a
) keystroke to the Mac-
intosh, press the Window key on your Windows computer.
You may also use the Map Ctrl-> Cmd option, which appears on the screen-sharing window’s system
menu when you control a Macintosh. If you enable this option, press
CTRL
on your Windows keyboard to
send the equivalent of a Command keystroke to the Macintosh. If you disable this option, pressing
CTRL
on your Windows keyboard will send
CTRL
to the Macintosh.
The Exchange Service: Copying and Moving Files Between
Computers
Use the Exchange service to copy and move files and folders in both directions between your computer
and another Timbuktu computer. Exchange provides more flexibility than Send, but it also allows the
guest user to view and navigate the host computer’s file system.
The full Exchange service is a combination of three sub-services: Exchange (Read), Exchange (Write) and
Exchange (Delete). The user of the host computer may grant you any combination of these sub-services.
For example, you may be able to view (Read) files on the remote computer or copy (Write) files to it,
but may not have permission to delete files.
