Navigation Buttons:
Connect / Disconnect
To establish the drive redirection, please press the
Connect
button once. If all the
settings are correct, the status bar displays that the connection has been established,
the Connect button is disabled and the Disconnect button is enabled.
On an error, the status line shows the error message. The drive redirection software
tries to lock the local drive before it is redirected. That means that it tries to prevent
the local operating system from accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. This
may also fail, especially if a file on the drive is currently open. In the case of a locking
failure, you will be prompted if you want to establish the connection anyhow. This
should not be a serious problem when the note above is respected. If the write
support is enabled, a drive which is not locked might be damaged by the Drive
Redirection.
With the
Disconnect
button, a connection via Drive Redirection connection is
stopped.
Exit/Hide
If the
Exit
button is pressed, the Drive Redirection software is closed. If a Drive
Redirection connection is active, the connection will be closed before the application
terminates.
Using the Hide to Tray button the application is hidden, but not terminated completely.
That means that an active connection will be kept active until it is closed explicitly.
You can access the software by its tray icon. The tray icon also shows whether a
connection is established or not. A double click on the icon shows the application
window, or with a right click you may access a small menu
