Connections...
Use the connections dialog to enter the information necessary to connect to a server.
Connections dialog
To connect to a SpeedShare Server, the following information is needed:
- The server's name
- The user name
- The user password
- (Sometimes) the server's TCP/IP address
Normally, you will connect to a SpeedShare server using the
Qdea Worldwide Rendezvous. The Rendezvous makes connections between servers and clients by
name. It's easier to use the Rendezvous - all you need to know is the name of the server.
If you want to connect using a fixed TCP/IP address, click TCP/IP Address
and enter the address. TCP/IP addresses look like this: 56.129.247.86, where
each number is between 0 and 255. The TCP/IP address of a SpeedShare Server
is entered in the Log of the server each time it starts up.
Check this box to connect as a Guest to a SpeedShare server. When this box is checked,
no password is needed to connect to the server. If Guest connections are not enabled
on the SpeedShare server, connecting as a Guest will not succeed.
Check this box to save the password for this connection in the Preferences for SpeedShare Client.
This information is encrypted, but anyone with access to your computer can make a connection
if the password is saved. For maximum security, leave this box unchecked and type in the
password when the connection is made.
Check this box to compress files before they are sent to or from a SpeedShare server.
When you make a connection over a local area network (LAN), file transfers will be
faster if this box is not checked.
Check this box to encrypt files as they are sent to and from a SpeedShare server.
Encrypted files cannot be read as they are sent over the Internet.
When you make a connection over a local area network (LAN), file transfers will be
faster if this box is not checked.
