Server

  1. Go to the root folder and create a Server instance by selecting 'Server' in the 'Add new item' list. The object must be added in the root folder!
  2. You can now enter a name and a password for your server (both optional). The password is currently not used, but might be in a future release.
  3. Change to the new created Server object (the id 'Server' must not be changed!). In the upper part of the edit screen you can edit the server settings (but as mentioned, they don't have any effect anyway).
  4. In the lower part of the screen you can manage the clients that you wish to give access to your server. Enter a login name and password for the client, the URL of the client, including the port (e.g. www.myclient.com:8080 or 192.168.0.100:8080) and an optional path.
  5. The path specifies a folder in your root folder which is used as the base folder for your client. If you leave path blank, the server root is equal to the client root.
  6. You can add, edit and delete the clients with the buttons below the clients list.

Client

  1. After you installed the new ObjectManager.py and importExport.dtml in your OFS folder (and made backups of the old files!) you are ready to transfer object to the server.
  2. In any folderish object you have an 'Export...' button. When you click it you see, that a second export method has been added to the import/export screen. Enter the URL of your server (e.g. www.myserver.com), the port of the zope application on this server (e.g. 8080), the login and password (as entered in the client-edit screen on the server).
  3. You can additionally choose, if only the selected object should be transferred to the server or if you want to transfer the whole object tree below the selected object aswell (like when you locally export an object).
  4. The ExtFile upload selection is used in conjunction with the ExtFile/ExtImage product to upload the external files. It can be ignored if you don't have that product installed.
  5. At last you can choose, if you want to backup existing files on the server. If the transfered objects already exists on the server, it is renamed to <objectname>_backup_XXX (where XXX is a running number) before the new object is imported.
