Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh | 15
Send—Sending Messages
You can send FlashNotes TM —instant text messages that pop up on the recipient’s
desktop—and attach files and folders to your FlashNotes. To quickly send files,
you can drag files and folders to the Timbuktu Sender desktop icon. File transfer
is carried out in the background while you continue to work at your computer.
The Send service also supports file recovery. If your Send session is interrupted,
As long as Timbuktu Pro remains running, it can resume the transfer at the point
at which it was interrupted rather than having to start over from the beginning.
Exchange—File Transfer
Timbuktu Pro makes transferring files between computers easy. With the Ex-
change service, you can copy, move, and delete files across the network—even on
Windows computers—just as if they were on your own computer.
The Exchange menu appears whenever you connect to another computer with the
Exchange service. In addition to the Desktop, New Folder, Open, and Remove op-
tions, the Exchange menu also provides a number of options not listed in the Ex-
change window.
Notify, Chat, Intercom, and Invite
Communicating with other Timbuktu Pro users is more convenient than ever with
Timbuktu Pro’s Notify, Chat, Intercom, and Invite services. Notify alerts you when
a remote computer becomes active. Chat allows you to have a keyboard “conver-
sation” with another user—even with multiple users simultaneously. Intercom
lets you have a voice conversation using your computer’s microphone and speak-
ers—no telephone required. And Invite allows you to invite another user to access
your computer using the Timbuktu Pro service you specify.
Profile
The Profile service allows you to run the Apple System Profiler on a remote Macin-
tosh computer and automatically save the output to a text file on your computer.
Skype
the Skype service accesses the Skype internet-telephony application to let you
speak or text-chat with a remote user. It includes two subservices: Skype Call and
Skype Chat.
