2. I tried running my the Realtime-Spy application I configured, but nothing
happens.
"Nothing" is happening because RTS operates in
TOTAL STEALTH. Without any visual queues, RTS has already installed itself and
is monitoring all activities. You will only receive a notification that the software
installed if you chose to enable the 'alert user on startup' option while configuring
Realtime-Spy.

3. I configured Realtime-Spy, now how do I deploy the software remotely?
You will need to distribute the Realtime-Spy module you created while running
the RTSConfig.exe application. This file you created is the file you will send
and run on other PC's. For detailed e-mail and network deployment steps please
refer to your product documentation that was installed with Realtime-Spy.

How long does Realtime-Spy take to download over a Network or via Email?
Unlike other monitoring packages, Realtime-Spy is VERY small in size (93KB)
and will take only a few seconds via email(even on dialup) and only an instant
over cable/network connections to download. Back

5. Will users know Realtime-Spy is installed when they run it?
No - unless you chose the "alert user" option - users will not know
any software is being installed when they execute the Realtime-Spy module you
created.

6. How do I view my logs?
To view your activity logs for Realtime-Spy
simply point your browser to http://www.realtime-spy.com/username - where
your username is replaced by the username you received after purchasing. You will
be prompted for your username and password - enter these as given to you when
you purchased RTS.

7. Can others access my Realtime-Spy logs?
Absolutely not! Every
user has their own unique username and password that only THEY know. You must
specify your username and password to login and view activity logs for your Realtime-Spy
software.

8. Can I archive my Realtime-Spy logs?
Yes, you can use the included Realtime-Spy archive utility to download
logs from your webspace for future viewing and saving.

9. Will Realtime-Spy work with ANY and ALL Internet connections?
Absolutely. Unlike other remote monitoring products, Realtime-Spy does
not care if the monitored PC is behind a hardware firewall or router,
or if the PC is on a network, cable, or dialup connection. You will be
able to ALWAYS access your logs via your webspace. No need for IP addresses,
port numbers, or directly connecting to the remote PC!

10. My Realtime-Spy webspace only contains a "Parent Directory"
listing - no logs - what is wrong?
Nothing is wrong - this just means
you have not deployed Realtime-Spy on a remote PC to monitor. Once you start monitoring
a PC your logs and web interface will appear in your webspace! Please wait 15-20minutes
from when the file is first executed for the first sets of logs to appear.

11. How do I change my Realtime-Spy password?
Simply use the form HERE
to change your password. This password change will effect remotely deployed
Realtime-Spy modules - if you change your password they will not longer
update your webspace with logs until you reconfigure their passwords.

12. How do I remove a User from my Realtime-Spy webspace?
Simply use the form HERE
to remove an unneeded logged user from your Realtime-Spy webspace.

13. Can I Install Realtime-Spy with a Floppy Disk?
Yes, just
copy the Realtime-Spy file you configured to a floppy. Then copy it from the floppy
to the PC you want to install it on - then run the file.

14.
The software is not accepting my username/password?
Make sure
you are entering the username/password EXACTLY as given to you (the password and
username are case sensitive). If this still does not work make sure you have no
firewall blocking outgoing FTP traffic on port 21.

My Logs do not seem to be
updating anymore, how do I fix this?
First you should ensure that the software is still running on the remote
PC.
If it is not, then re-run the logging module you created to restart monitoring.
Second, verify that you have not changed your password after creating
and installing the module on the target computer. Changing your password
will cause the remote module to be unable to access your log storage
account.
It is advised you first run the stop-rts.exe file on the remote PC (this
file is in your :\program files\realtime-spy folder) - once you run this,
wait a minute or so - then re-execute the logging module you created on
the remote PC - this will restart the monitoring.
Back
to Top 16.
The Administrative commands do not work?
To use the admin commands
you must be on the same network as the remote PC (if it is indeed on a network)
- otherwise they will not work. Also make sure the remote PC is online at the
time, since the admin commands use a direct connection to the remote PC.

17.
The attachment I am sending is being rejected - what do I do?
Some email clients/servers reject executable (.exe) attachments. To circumvent
this you can zip up the .exe you created using a zip program (such as
Winzip) and then send it. You can also place the .exe into a document
file (just drag the .exe icon into the document and save it) and send
it this way.
