Creating a new administrator host item
The administrator host connection contains the connection and security
information needed to allow a remote administrator to connect from the
pcAnywhere Host Administrator console. You must include a caller item.
This file has a .bhf extension. Caller files have a .cif extension. You can add these
files to the CMS folder to use them with the pcAnywhere Host Administrator or
you can include them in a packaged installation.
