How data exchange implements

The file exchange mechanism is realised by means of creation of folders which will be accessible to other users. After a log into the application, you get to your User control panel in which all folders accessible to you are presented. Your personal folders, and all folders assigned on groups into which your account belongs are accessible. You can view contents of accessible folders, add there new files or delete files therefrom and lock contents of folders for exclusive usage.

Accessing folder data

To access the folder data, click Open button. A new window of your browser will be opened, in which you can perform operations with files and directories (what operations are available depends on your browser). You also can use any FTP client for access folder data. For this purpose you should open once at least the folder from the application as described above. Access to folders is limited to IP addresses, and when you open folder from the aplication your address is added in the allowed list (therefore at access from other address it should be repeated). Further copy path to the FTP directory from the browser address bar, specify it in your FTP client and work with the folder without logging into the application.

Creating new folders

You can create new folders to organize file exchange with other users. To create a new folder, click New folder. In the appeared panel specify folder name, its description and the owner - the group to which members you wish to give access to the data, containing in this folder. (You also can specify yourself then it will be your personal folder, and nobody except you can work with it). At last you can set option "Conceal FTP directory name", in this case the consealed name of the FTP directory (like "a172d31e-13a2-4be1-8341-9a1282190ba3") will be generated. It is more safe, and as guarantees constant path of the directory, even at name change.
