Right now MATLAB COM Automation Server does not support transferring non-cell/array or 3D cell/array in Remote Procedure Calls. This program is a temporary get around.

The updated version also supports converting arbitrary file into data stream. This comes in handy when you try to transfer a file through COM calls.
