other clients might attempt connection through scanning of IP addresses using various
scanners. The same is said for password, there also might be a need to close

set the connection time in the same format as the remote's time ie. 24hr or
12hr clock including colons and spaces(09:09:00 AM) .It is also case sensitive
for the "AM/PM" the easiest way is to just edit the numbers by
selecting that portion of the time and changing it and try not to take out the
colon with the highlighting of the time, if so replace it. If you are not sure
whether you have enabled the call enabled or set again it won't hurt. The

any queries can be made to the webmaster and can be emailed at XtraAccess@remote-security.co.uk
FileListing Popup Menu
Reset to C:\ If
you are way up the directory structure then this is a quick and easy way back
down to the root directory of "C Drive". Also sometimes internet
traffic cause interruptions or remote machine might be bombarded with
information(nuked) thus interrupting the requested data causing no display of
Directory list or file list. The Reset to c:\ can resolved this error, you may
also try refresh directory.

upload, rename or delete etc, or for reasons in Reset to C:\ .Failure to
refresh dir might required a rest to c:\ or even Initialize file system.

Server Install Notes
Running of the XtraAccess server can also be
accomplished by using the XtraAccess "Remote Call Monitor 2000"which
allows you to dialup your remote computer enter a secret PIN number and this in
turn will connect to the specified connection and notify you of this. Upon
connection the server can be instructed to execute giving you full(XtraAccess)
to your machine. See http://channeltechnology.com for further
details.
Installing the remote is simple, the server must
be executed on the remote computer. Once the server has been run, if in stealth
mode it will launch itself from then on until remove server command is sent
from the client. Upon connection to the internet the notification to the
pre-assigned icq number will be made and information required to connect to the
server displayed. Connection can be made and access aquired. Then if desired
the server can be closed and the internet connection closed as when as the
machine shutdown.
The server is supplied with the default name of
XtraServ. When executed as this filename the server displays a window stating
that server is running(Non Stealth), however you will not be able to connect to
it until it detects that it is online to a connection. This server running like
this does not auto fired up on its own when windows is started next time. To
obtain steath mode the file has to be renamed(to anything and run)you will be
doing this of you own accord though and XtraAccess cannot be held responsible
for you actions as this program is supplied to you for your own personal use on
your own personal computers. But stealth mode is required sometimes if you are
worried about certain activities at home or at place of work etc. (for this
reason stealth was added). To removed the stealth server the easiest way is to
connect to the server whilst online(whether it be the same machine you are on
or not) and remove server from the Advanced/server function.
Causing Errors
The mains cause of errors on the client/server
application is when you overload it with functions to execute. To prevent
overload please wait for a command to complete before commencing with another.
If a command hangs, use the abort button before closing application. The client
and server can also only run as good as the machine it is on. So if there is a
fault on the remote or local computer it could reflect on the application.
Other checks that should be made are to make sure that the remote or client are
not already installed with the server or have been infected with a trojan etc
that might capture data meant for the client or server. You may have installed
the server to yourself by accident. To check this connect to the internet wait
30 seconds and try and connect to 127.0.0.1 (local computer) if you can then
you have installed the server to run in stealth mode on yourself. If connect is
established then go to the advanced/server option on the client and removed
server.
