Thanks.

Transferring files between computers was always possible, even without
remote control software. You could do it via the Microsoft File and
Printer Sharing protocol, also known as SMB. You also could do it
through standard TCP/IP protocols like FTP and NFS.

However, the remote control software does make it even easier to
transfer files between computers. Once you get remote desktop protocol
working between the computers, then it's guaranteed that file transfer
would also work between them as a side benefit.
