Browsing a Node
When you browse a node, you will be able to see all directories that exist on that node.
You can
also search for a directory name (using simple or advanced search) and sort the directory list. The following
buttons enable you to perform actions on a directory or directories.
- Bookmark: Create a shortcut to the selected (checkmarked) directory. If you do not check any directory, then the bookmark will be the node's root directory.
- Download: Download the selected (checkmarked) directory or directories using the Aspera Connect browser plugin.
- Upload: Upload a file or folder from another machine to this node using the Aspera Connect browser plugin.
- Delete: Delete the selected (checkmarked) directory or directories.
- New Folder: Create a new directory on the node.
- Rename: Rename an existing directory on the node.
- Create Share: Configure a new share for the selected directory (you can only select one directory at a time). Once you click the Create Share button, you will be taken to the New Share page, which will be pre-populated with the node and directory information. To complete the other fields, see the topic "Shares Configuration".
