7.6.8 Performing operations on files of a remotely controlled computer
When you perform operations on files of a remotely controlled computer from the controller, you cannot only call and perform operations from the computer view, but also use the File Transmission window.
If you open a computer file from the File Transmission window, the file is transferred from the computer to the controller. Therefore, the computer user is not affected when you edit the file. The file is transferred to the folder that was specified in the options of the File Transmission window.
When files with the same name are opened from different computers, the controller receives the files in the same order as the files are opened. In this case, a newly received file overwrites the file received earlier, and the file received last is opened.
To edit a computer file from the File Transmission window:
-
In the File Transmission window, select the computer file you want to edit, and then select File and then Open from the menu.
- Tip
-
You can also open a file by double-clicking the file.
-
Edit the displayed file.
-
Close the file after editing it.
-
In the displayed dialog box, click the Yes button.
The file edited on the controller is transferred to the original location on the computer, and overwrites the old file.
You can set a file to be automatically transferred, removed, or kept on the controller. To do so, click the Options button on the toolbar, select the File tab of the displayed dialog box, and then change the settings for remote files.
If the file is not set to be automatically transferred or removed, the controller file is not transferred when you close the file, but remains in the temporary folder.
To manually transfer or remove a file:
When you open a computer file from the File Transmission window, the file is temporarily saved on the controller. If the file is not set to be automatically transferred or removed, the controller file is not transferred when you close the file, but instead kept on the controller.
You can check the files kept on the controller in the File Transmission window of the remote files list. In this window, you can transfer the files kept on the controller or remove them from the controller.
-
From the menu of the File Transmission window, select View and then Download Manager.
-
From the menu of the File Transmission window of the remote control list, select Edit and then Transfer Files or Delete After Transfer.
The edited file is transferred to the original location on the computer.
When Transfer Files is selected, the processing is the same as when copying the file, so the file is also kept on the controller. When Delete After Transfer is selected, the processing is the same as when moving the file, so the file is not kept on the controller.
To remove a file from the controller, select File and then Remove from the menu. A dialog box showing the deletion progress is displayed, and the file kept on the controller is removed.
