Amazing! Do you know any variants of these which squeeze out the maximum transfer rate over a high quality connection? Thinking about data transfer from a VPN/RDP remote desktop where I want to grab the screen output on the client with very little loss in quality (basically only limited by the chosen video encoder).

Using it to transfer files over a remote desktop connection is like a graphical version of zmodem [0].

I don't think I do?

I'm not 100% sure I understand your example. Is it RDP server (remote) -> RDP client (local) -> cell phone?
