7 Deselect Create Default iFolder, then click Next.
8 Click Finish.
9 In the iFolder dialog box, click View > Refresh, then click linux1_lum-edir_IF3.
Remember that this is the iFolder that linux1_lum-edir shared with the ncp_edir user.
10 On the left under iFolder Actions, click Download.
11 Click OK.
The iFolder is created on the desktop.
12 Double-click the iFolder to open it in Windows Explorer.

Shared Documents
files to the
linux1_lum-edir_IF3
You can do this because ncp_edir has default Read/Write permissions to the shared iFolder.
Make sure you copy (by pressing the Ctrl key) rather than moving the files from the Shared
Documents folder. Otherwise, the files won't be available to other users who log in.

Observing File Synchronization
To understand more about how iFolder works, it is helpful to observe the file synchronization
processes in action.
1 On the desktop in the taskbar, right-click the iFolder icon and select Synchronization Log.
The iFolder Synchronization Log opens.
2 Right-click the iFolder icon again and select Preferences.
3 Change the Synchronization interval to 1 minute.
Normally you would not want to synchronize this often, but for our current purposes it helps to
expedite log activity.
4 Delete the
MyPrivateFile.txt
Within a couple of minutes the change is synchronized with the iFolder server. Notice that
there are various synchronization operations involved to ensure that all changes are tracked in
order and coordinated among the various iFolders on the server and affected workstations.
5 Continue with the next section,
Using iFolder Web Access

Users can access their iFolders through most browsers that support SSL 3.0.
1 Open your browser and enter the following URL:
https://IP_or_DNS_name/ifolder
where IP_or_DNS_name is the IP address or complete DNS name of your OES 2 server.
