Which is fine when you have access to the remote server and firewall.
But unfortunately most of my customers machines are inside secure VPN
access where often even the IT department don't know how it works, so
all you get is a local windows desktop and no install permission. I've
been lucky so far in that VNC of some sort is available on all of them,
and most provided a browser with internet connection so I can upload and
download files, but even THAT is blocked on a few sites. They have to be
transferred via the IT department :(

Life can be a pain when dealing with these 'IT Professionals' ;)
