Screen is visually divaded in three parts: |
13 |
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
1. Display of directories |
15 |
|
|
Which are listed under DIRECTORY NAME in alphabetical order |
16 |
|
|
|
17 |
|
|
2. Display of documents on server |
18 |
|
|
Which are also listed alphabetically |
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
and |
21 |
|
|
|
22 |
|
|
3. Grey area which can be used to create new directory or empty file, |
23 |
|
|
or to upload document from PC to server |
24 |
|
|
|
25 |
|
|
|
26 |
|
|
Basic operations are: |
27 |
|
|
* sending of file to server (by choosing UPLOAD link on bottom area) |
28 |
|
|
and retriving of file (by clicking of filename). |
29 |
|
|
- send file to server: |
30 |
|
|
Choose upload button to get to screen which is used |
31 |
|
|
to upload documents to server. |
32 |
|
|
Press BROWSE and select file from file requestor |
33 |
|
|
which will be displayed on screen. |
34 |
|
|
After that press UPLOAD and you will be returned to |
35 |
|
|
previous screen, but it will now display newly uploaded file. |
36 |
|
|
If you wish to abort sending of file to server choose CANCEL. |
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
- retrieve file from server: |
39 |
|
|
simply click on filename. File will be downloaded to disk |
40 |
|
|
or opened in application depending on file type. However, |
41 |
|
|
after changing of file that file WILL NOT be updated |
42 |
|
|
on server automatically. To update copy of file on server |
43 |
|
|
(and enable other users to see changes in file) you will |
44 |
|
|
have to: |
45 |
|
|
1. save file locally to disk (under same name), and |
46 |
|
|
2. send it to server again. |
47 |
|
|
If you send file to server under different name, you |
48 |
|
|
will have two copies of same file which can be confusing. |
49 |
|
|
|
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
Additional operations available are: |
52 |
|
|
* Detailed informations about file (which can be showed by clicking on |
53 |
|
|
icon which is displayed left from filename). |
54 |
|
|
- filename |
55 |
|
|
- file size |
56 |
|
|
- date and time of last modification and access |
57 |
|
|
- document contents (which you can edit) -- only if document type |
58 |
|
|
is plain text. If file is Word Document of some other binary |
59 |
|
|
format you will have to edit it on your local computer and |
60 |
|
|
upload changed file back to server. |
61 |
|
|
- deleting of file (by choosing of a checkbox located left |
62 |
|
|
from button DELETE and pressing DELETE) |

|
- changes to file with dates, time and user which made the change |
66 |
|
|
|
67 |
|
|
|
68 |
|
|
Planned enhancements: |
69 |
|
|
- locking of files so that other users can't download file while |
70 |
|
|
one user is changing it. This will be accomplished by checking |
71 |
|
|
out (downloading to local machine) of file and checking in |
72 |
|
|
(sending back to server) of file. |
73 |
|
|
- adding of comments to file which can be viewed directly on web |
74 |
|
|
(short notes like: "this is just a working version") |
