Sending Files without receiver (application deployment)

Question

Hello,

Basically, all I want to do is to type an ip address into a textbox, select a file from my computer, then click a button, so that file should appear on the computer with that ip address. The one condition is that there can't be a receiver on the other machine. I know this is possible because an application called RM Tutor, which runs on RM machines, can deploy the server version to other computers so the teacher can control the students' computers. It gets the names of all computers on the network, and it sends the file to each. If only I knew how to do this!

Please help!

If you have administrative rights and/or the receiver computers are part of a domain this should not be too big of a problem, what is the network configuration? Are these computers on a domain? Do you have administrative rights to them?

All of the computers have their own administrator accounts, including mine. They are all connected to a network, but I don't have administrator rights on those other computers. With RM Tutor, you don't need admin rights, so I don't know why this would need them...

OK, I understand that. All I need to know now is firstly how to get admin rights on the other machines, then secondly how to put files on there without them seeing, because they don't really need to have a UI or anything.

You need to have somebody on that computer give you rights, either create an administrative account for you, or give you the username/password for an existing admin account.

I think you should explain what the purpose of these files are and maybe a little more detail about why you need to this without the user knowing. Right now its starting to sound like you want to hack into other computers and put malicious things on them and we won't help you do that.

I promise it's not malicious. Although it is to control other computers, I will not do it for malicious purposes; it's to ensure people are doing work rather than games
The idea of the file sharing is both to send this receiver to the other computers, and also to help the people at the other computers by sending them additional help files should they require them.

I looked up RM Tutor, and it most definitely has a client side. This must be installed on the client machines in order for the teacher to control the other machines.

RM Tutor 4 User Guide[^] (Look at the installation section under "Client or Student"

The problem here is that systems are designed specifically to prevent you from doing this. Unless you have some kind of access rights to the machines (you have the Admin credentials) or you install some kind of client software on them, they won't respond to your requests. Can you imagine what kind of security hole it would be if all you had was an IP address and you could install files on a target machine?

If you want to do this, you will need admin rights on the target machines or be able to install a piece of software on the client machines that allows you to transfer files.
