Address Book (List View)
StingRay stores all remote site addresses and address groups centrally in one of the server’s
databases. The advantage of this setup is that all remote site addresses can be accessed
regardless of which workstation or user profile is used to log onto StingRay.
There are however two different types of address book that can be used to enter and store
remote site details. The first, referred to as the ‘Global Address Book’ contains addresses and
groups that are shared with, and can be accessed by all StingRay users on the internal network.
The second option is the ‘Local Address Book’ that individual local users can use to save
address details personally to their profile, prohibiting access to other StingRay users within the
internal network.
Addresses can also be grouped together, which allows files and folders to be sent to several
addresses in one job. More significantly, each address entry within a group can be configured
to use a different file transfer protocol and upon sending a single job to a group; separate jobs
will automatically be created for each individual remote site. This enables local users to
independently monitor the transmission status of jobs sent to each remote site within the group.
The address book is an integral part of the StingRay file transfer server as in order to send and
receive file(s)/folder(s); the remote site details must be entered accurately.
PLEASE NOTE:
If these details are not correct, you will encounter
problems when sending and receiving file(s)/folder(s)!
