they do over a TCP/IP connection.
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 by double-clicking a desktop
icon or opening the shortcut with the File menu. Connection documents are cre-
ated with the Save Connection command in the File menu.
For example, if you have a file that you update and send to a number of other us-
ers on a weekly basis, you could put that file in a FlashNote, enter a message,
choose the destinations, and save a connection document. The next time you
need to distribute that file, simply update the file, open the connection docu-
ment, and click Send.
To create a new Connection Document
1.
Establish a connection to a remote computer using the service you wish to
save in the connection document. You may make the connection using any
available protocol. If necessary, log in to the remote computer as a Registered
User or Ask for Permission User.
2.
With the connection and service active, open the File menu and choose Save
Connection.
3.
Specify a name and location for the connection document.
4.
If the Save Password on Keychain checkbox is available, you may select it.
This will streamline your next connection by sending your user name and
password automatically.
