Getting Started with Timbuktu Pro for Macintosh | 19
Timbuktu Pro Connection Documents
Timbuktu Pro connection documents are shortcuts that allow you to start a Tim-
buktu Pro connection to a specific remote computer, using a specific service, sim-
ply by double-clicking a desktop icon or opening the shortcut with the File menu.
Connection documents are created with the Save Connection command in the File
menu.
Drop Senders—Customizable Send Destinations
When you open a Send window, Timbuktu Pro adds the Save Drop Sender com-
mand to the File menu. When you choose this command, Timbuktu Pro creates a
Drop Sender desktop icon that records the destination and the files and folders
you selected. In the future, simply double-click the Drop Sender icon to send the
same files and folders to the same destination.
You can also drag other items onto the Drop Sender icon, and they will be imme-
diately sent to the remembered destination.
Address Books
You can use Timbuktu Pro’s address books to help you organize the IP addresses
and phone numbers of the remote computers you connect to frequently. An ad-
dress book is a collection of Timbuktu Pro addresses. They save you time because
you don’t have to enter an IP address or phone number every time you make a
connection—simply select a computer from the list.
Create address books by adding addresses from the New Connection window or
by importing an address list from a text file. You can drag an address directly from
a transport tab to an address book window or from one address book to another.
Activity Log
Timbuktu Pro keeps a list of all connections made to your computer. The activity
log shows each user’s Timbuktu Pro name and network address, records when
the user connected or attempted to connect, and specifies which services the
user accessed.
The Timbuktu Pro log file is stored in the default Mac OS X log-file folder, and you
may view it with the Console application.
