Navigation Buttons
Connect/Disconnect
To establish the drive redirection please press the Connect button once. If all the settings are
correct, the status bar displays that the connection has been established, the Connect button is
disabled and the Disconnect button is enabled.
On an error, the status line shows the error message. The drive redirection software tries to lock
the local drive before it is redirected. That means that it tries to prevent the local operating system
from accessing the drive as long as it is redirected. This may also fail, especially if a file on the
drive is currently open. In the case of a locking failure, you will be prompted if you want to
establish the connection anyhow. This should not be a serious problem when the note above is
respected. If the write support is enabled, a drive which is not locked might be damaged by the
Drive Redirection.
With the Disconnect button, a connection via Drive Redirection connection is stopped.
Exit/Hide
If the Exit button is pressed, the Drive Redirection software is closed. If a Drive Redirection
connection is active, the connection will be closed before the application terminates.
Using the Hide to Tray button the application is hidden, but not terminated completely. That
means that an active connection will be kept active until it is closed explicitly. You can access the
software by its tray icon. The tray icon also shows whether a connection is established or not. A
double click on the icon shows the application window, or with a right click you may access a
small menu
