Exchanging Files with Remote Computers

With Timbuktu Pro's Exchange service, you can copy and move files and folders between your PC and another Windows or Macintosh computer. Exchange provides more flexibility than the Send Service by allowing you to copy, move, and delete files and folders from any directory on either computer. (Send allows you to copy files only to a predefined location on the remote computer.) You may also create new directories on either computer.

You will use the Exchange Window to copy and move files.

You may grant the full the Exchange privilege or only certain sub-privileges to Guest Users and Registered Users: Exchange (Read), Exchange (Write), and Exchange (Delete). Windows NT Users can have full Exchange privileges only.

Warning: If you grant the Exchange privilege to a remote user, the user will be able to access the files on your hard disk, as well as files on any network drives that you are currently logged into. DO NOT grant Exchange privileges if your computer contains sensitive or confidential information.

If necessary, you may disconnect a remote user who is using Exchange to transfer files to or from your computer.
