Features/Sharing Journal Entries Via School Server

Basic Usage

• This feature helps share Journal/Documents/Mounted-Drives' entries across XOs, via the following two mechanisms
  • Peer-to-Peer mode
    • In this mode, an XO acts as a server, and another XO acts as a client. Thus, each XO has the ability to don the server's hat (when it wishes to allow other XOs to have its shares); and don the client's hat (when it wishes to access other XOs' shares).
    • Peer-to-Peer sharing is possible, only when the server and client XO(s) are on the same networks. Thus, peer-to-peer sharing would work on
      • XOs connected to the same Access Point.
      • Adhoc-Network connections.
  • Via School-Server
    • In this mode, an XO uploads an entry to the central School Server; from where the client XO(s) may download the entry.
    • This mode of sharing works as long as the School-Server is HTTP-pingable between the server and client XOs. Thus, this mode of sharing would work when
      • XOs are connected to the same Access Point (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
      • XOs are connected to the different Access Points (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).
      • XOs are conencted to Adhoc-Network (as long as school-server is pingable throughout).

Ensure that "Shares" view is empty.

Choose the files to upload to the "School-Server".

Enter passphrase for first entry, and choose "Ok". Note that passphrase repeats for uploads are allowed.

After the first entry is uploaded, passphrase needs to be entered for the second entry. Then choose "Ok".

Both uploads finished.

Confirm by looking into the "Shares" view, that the entries are present.

From the "Shares" view, choose an entry to copy (download) to Documents.
