Hello,

I'm not sure that taking a screenshot and transfering it from Pc1 to Pc2 via tcp is the best option, maybe you should set up a VNC like solution.. no?

However, using the VI attached you can generate keyboard events - select "SNAPSHOT" in the dropdown menu - and then use the beautiful code published here to retrieve the data from windows clibpboard and the you just have to save it to disk and transfer it.

Hope this helps
