Tutor File Transfer settings

You can configure the File Transfer settings in NetSupport School. From the File Transfer window drop-down menu, choose {View}{Settings - File Transfer}or click the Settings icon in the toolbar. Here, you can alter the way in which information is displayed, and set safety features such as confirmation before performing a damaging operation.

Settings for Client: xxx dialog

Display Options

Show System/Hidden files: Check this box to display all files with system and hidden attributes. By default, this option is unchecked.

Show file details: Select this option to display multiple columns of information for each file in the list. These show the file size and modified date. You can toggle between this state and the file names only state, by using the list style buttons in the File Transfer User Interface.

Show file names only: Select this option to only display file names in the file lists. This allows you to display more files at the same time than with file details. You can toggle between this state and the Details state, by using the list style buttons in the File Transfer User Interface.

Confirm: When you perform potentially dangerous file operations, such as deleting a directory or file you can make the Tutor display a Confirmation dialog box. This helps prevent accidental loss of data. If you are familiar with the User Interface, you can turn these options off as required. By default, all the confirmation settings are turned on.

• Directory copy: Make the user confirm before copying a directory structure.

• Directory delete: Make the user confirm before deleting a directory structure.

• File overwrite: If checked, displays a Confirmation dialog before overwriting an existing file. However, if unchecked the confirmation message will still appear if system/hidden files are about to be overwritten.

• File delete: Display a Confirmation dialog before deleting one or more files.

Use Compression: Check this box to enable the use of compression. When you are communicating with a Student, whether it is a File Transfer, View or Chat session, the data being sent and received will be compressed. This also provides a means of security, as the data will also be encrypted.

Delta File Transfer: Delta File Transfer improves performance by skipping the transfer of information that is unchanged. If the file being transferred already exists in the destination directory only the changed parts of the file will be updated.

Delta File Transfer is enabled by default.

Automatically close progress when copy finished: Closes the File Transfer progress dialog automatically on completion. Un-tick this option if you want to see the File Transfer results.
