I'm trying to use PCAnywhere in my application to transfer files and execute remote commands. I originally tried using the command queue but this won't really work for me because the paths I'm sending and receiving from are not going to remain the same. I have the OLE stuff working just fine, I can transfer files, receive them then execute a command at the end. When this whole process actually runs it works perfectly, however it does not work 100% of the time. Very often when I run this process it will just hang at one point and not do anything. It doesn't always hang at the same point, sometimes it's during the upload, sometimes during the download. It appears to finish the transfer but then just sits there. I can't cancel it or anything and have to force quit PCAnywhere on the host and remote machine. When I first started playing with PCAnywhere I found a few things that were causing hanging, such as if there was a path that I was trying to upload to that didn't exist or if it was trying to download a file and the file already existed locally. I was able to get around these problems but it's still hanging very often and I can't figure out what could be causing it. The hanging just happens randomly so I can't figure out if there is anything causing it that I can fix or if PCAnywhere just has these issues. It's also crashing every now and then, but I'm mainly concerned with getting the hanging problem solved first.
I was on version 11 but heard bad things about it so I went to 10.5 and I'm still having the same issues. My application is going to be used in a POS system that will be remotely managing hundreds of stores so this behavior is not acceptable. We have been struggling with these issues for months and don't know what else to do, this has delayed our release date considerable. Has anyone successfully been able to get PCAnywhere to work reliably for an application like mine? If so, how well has it been working and what can I do to get mine working? If not are there any other applications I can try instead of PCAnywhere?
Please let me know if any of you can help.
Thanks.
