1) First go to the machine on which the file is located. (It may be LINUX machine also).
This machine will act as the Server and all the clients will connect to this machine to fetch the required file which is present on this machine.
Any Computer that has the file which is to be transferred has to act as the Server.
On that machine , move to the Server directory by typing...
cd TENDS\server -
2)Now execute the server by giving the command.....
java TENDSServer (Windows)
or /usr/java/bin/java TENDSServer (LINUX)
-
3) Now from the client machine run the TENDS Editor and go to...
Features > Import Manager > Import a File. A dialog box similar to above one will pop up. Fill in the IP Address of the Server. By default it is 127.0.0.1 NOTE: For Windows NT Networks you may use the WINS naming conventions
eg. MR1-PDC (Do not use \\MR1-PDC). -
4) The Server runs on the port 5998 by default so the slider provided will not work.
-
5) Next fill up the File name of the file you want to import. It is important to fill the FULL filename of the file you wish to import
eg. D:\My Documents\Text file.txt (Windows)
/home/anurag/documents/text.txt (LINUX) -
6) The TENDS Server displays all the infprmation about the Connection attempts made, files reequested , IP of client etc...
WARNING :
Generally
almost all of the Linux distributions come with some form of Free Security
Packages like Firewalls etc. As you know , Firewalls are supposed to Block
all of the Incoming/Outgoing traffic, so any attempt to connect to a Linux
Server protected by a firewall will Crash TENDS Editor.
If you want to connect to the Linux Server then first
disable the firewall and make sure that the port 5998 is not blocked and
then import the file using the client TENDS Editor.
