Hi,
Is the key file names really correct? Assuming pkey means private key and pubkey means public key, shouldn't the viewer file be called .pubkey and the server file be called .pkey?

They are.
You distribute the server with public and keep the viewer with the private local.
Natural when you distribute the viewer for a local server, then the private should be distributed with the viewer.
Something to thank about, 2 different situations.

Thank you for the reply. I guess I dont understand why because it still seems a bit backwards to me that the viewer has the private key instead of the server. Maybe it does not much difference anyway, I am not sure from a security viewpoint.
