    As of Oct/2005 and May/2006 x11vnc enables, respectively, the TightVNC
    and UltraVNC file transfer implementations that were added to
    libvncserver. This currently works with TightVNC and UltraVNC viewers
-   (and Windows viewers only support filetransfer it appears).
+   (and Windows viewers only support filetransfer it appears... but they
+   do work to some degree under Wine on Linux).
 
-   TightVNC file transfer is on by default, if you want to disable it use
-   the [756]-nofilexfer option. UltraVNC file transfer is currently off
-   by default, to enable it use something like "-rfbversion 3.6
-   -permitfiletransfer"

+   UltraVNC file transfer is off by default, to enable it use something
+   like "-rfbversion 3.6 -permitfiletransfer"
    options (UltraVNC incorrectly uses the RFB protocol version to
    determine if its features are available, so x11vnc has to pretend to
    be version 3.6). As of Sep/2006 "-ultrafilexfer" is an alias for these
    two options. Note that running as RFB version 3.6 may confuse other
    VNC Viewers.
 
+   Sadly you cannot do both -tightfilexfer and -ultrafilexfer at the same
+   time because the latter requires setting the version to 3.6 and
+   tightvnc will not do filetransfer when it sees that version number.
+
+   Also, because of the way the LibVNCServer TightVNC file transfer is
+   implemented, you cannot do Tightvnc file transfer in -unixpw mode.
+   UltraVNC file transfer does work, however.
+
+   The UltraVNC and TightVNC settings can be toggled on and off inside
+   the gui or by -R remote control. However for TightVNC the changed
+   setting only applies for NEW clients, current clients retain their
+   TightVNC file transfer ability. For UltraVNC it works better, however
+   if an UltraVNC client has initiated a file transfer dialog it will
+   remain in effect until the dialog is closed. If you want to switch
+   between UltraVNC and TightVNC file transfer in the gui or by remote
+   control you will probably be foiled by the "-rfbversion 3.6" issue.
