Hi all.
This is a half Mac half Casper issue I need to get worked out.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent users from being able to transfer files while using screen sharing between 2 macs.
If so, can this be controlled or enforced with Casper?

Loads of info online about how to share files but not how to prevent it.
Thanks,
Matt

I just had a quick try with the Screen Sharing app preferences, and all of the options in the Sharing system preferences. Nothing made a difference, I could always drag a file to and from the remote screen.

The only thing that did work was using a separate VNC client. I tested Chicken VNC which prevented file copying.

I found the same thing.
I'll definitely look into 3rd party VNC clients
