-
The names for files which can be accessed via the normal Windows file system (i.e. using Notepad) are displayed just as
they would be in any Windows application.
-
In order to achieve this level of
transparency when dealing with remote servers however, Magic C++ deploys
a naming convention for file names similar to the internet URL. Each file name
is display in UNIX format regardless of OS type, and is prefixed by the name of
the server profile which defines the server connection details.
-
It is important to understand that the
server profile name is not necessarily the same as the server's host name,
although this is a popular choice. The profile name is assigned by the user and
can identify any host name or IP address.
-
For UNIX compatible operating systems (IBM
AIX,SUN Solaris, HP-UX,SCO Unix,LINUX or FreeBSD etc.) the file name displayed
is identical to native file name, with the server profile prefix. For example:
/dev/usr/example.txt
Assuming the server connection details were defined in profile hpux, this
file name becomes:
//hpux/dev/usr/example.txt

The Add Server Wizard provides a
step-by-step guide to defining how Magic
C++ can connect to a server, which network protocols to use and how to
successfully authenticate the user.
-
Before using the Add Server Wizard the
user must know the name or address of the server and have a valid user account
(username and password).
-
The wizard has two distinct stages, the
first stage creates a connection from which files can be transferred to and
from the server. Using this connection files may be browsed, opened, edited and
saved. The second stage attempts to open a terminal session (just like the
command prompt in windows), this is used to compile files and interface with
any server tools such as a debugger.
-
You
can define a remote check interval. Magic C++ checks
remote server to see
if any file has been modified with a default interval. You can however define your own query interval.
