1. What the program does.
========================
SCREENSPY lets you get a screen shot of a remote computer running Windows 95/98/NT
via any web browser through the Internet. The remote computer has to run NOT behind the
firewall. SCREENSPY is an ideal lightweight solution for technical support and assistance
over the Internet.
3. Installation.
===============
No installation is required. Just copy the program: scrnspy.exe to a directory on the remote
computer's hard drive.
4. Running the program.
=======================
Use Windows Explorer, File Manager or Start/Run menu to launch scrnspy.exe from the directory
where it was copied during the installaion.
ScreenSpy accepts 2 command-line arguments:
/port [port number] - specifies the port on which ScreenSpy is listening to browser's request.
if this parameter is not specified it defaults to 80 - standard HTTP port.
In this case the URL of the ScreenSpy is:
http://[remote computer name or ip address]
If port number is different from 80 the URL is:
http://[remote computer name or ip address]:[port number]
/quality [1-100] - specifies the quality of the screen shot. Hihger quality images take
longer time to transfer. In the unregistered version
of ScreenSpy this option is disabled with quality defaulted to 10 which
still displays legible screens. In the registered version the default value
for quality is 50 which is a good compromise between speed and quality.
When the program is running a blue computer monitor icon is displayed on the taskbar. Right mouse
click on the icon brings a pop-up menu which lets the user terminate the program.
