Remote File Transfer
RMIAdmin allows you to transfer files between local and remote computers in one single interface, much similar as if you are using Internet Explorer to connect with the FTP Service over various file system.


For example, when you want to upload a file/folder from local machine to remote machines, you could simply do this in just one interface of RMIAdmin, regardless of the target computer platform, moreover FTP Client/Server is no longer required since RMIAdmin is capable to handle transfer of data across network.

For example when you want to transfer files from one Windows computer to another Windows computer, you must either use FTP or map the remote network drives (which must be shared initially).

The same applied to unix-like computer, you have to start the NFS / FTP / Samba service before you could really connect with these remote file system, which is therefore raising a great deal management issue such as specific settings, as well as security concern. While RMIAdmin keeps you away from this burden by means of the RMIServer program in which configurations is guaranteed to be consistent even across various computer platforms.

The usage of RMIAdmin File Browser is fairly easy and much alike to Windows Explorer.
  1. Select "Tools" -> "File Browser", this will brings you to the File Browser Workspace.
