File transfer

The File Transfer dialog box is for remote users of client-only installations to connect to the host server. This is accessed in the IDE by selecting File > File Transfer.

After this is finished, those users can manipulate the files on the remote machine.

You can copy files to a fixed directory on the server called shared_files. This directory resides within the root. A status dialog box opens during the operation showing progress. It includes the file name and the percentage of the operation that is complete and remaining.

The shared_files folder is the top-level folder from which users manage files and folders.

The shared_files directory is automatically created the first time you use File Transfer.

Users cannot manage files and folders outside of the shared_files root.

Note: Only one file copy operation can happen at a time. Multiple users can transfer files to the server simultaneously and manage separate folders on the server.
