The Exchange Menu
When you open an Exchange session with another computer, the Exchange menu
appears on the menu bar. The Exchange menu includes many of the options you
control by buttons in the Exchange window.
In addition, the Exchange menu includes the following options:
• Rename renames the selected file.
• Get Info displays basic information about the selected file, including file size
and location.
• Find Original resolves the selected alias and positions the file list on the orig-
inal file. If you select an alias and attempt to copy it, the alias will be copied
instead of the original file.
• Find opens the Find Files window to search for files on the local computer.
(See the online Help for information about the Find Files window.)
• Custom Icons turns custom icon display on and off.
The Exchange!Go To menu includes the Mac OS X Go menu shortcuts: Home,
Desktop, Favorites, and Applications.
Remote Control: Controlling or Observing a Remote
Computer
You can use Timbuktu Pro to control or observe a remote computer. The desktop
of the remote computer is displayed in a window on your screen. The window is
updated as the other computer’s desktop changes.
While you are controlling another computer, you can perform any of the tasks that
you could perform locally, including opening applications and creating new files.
This means that a user with the Control privilege can remotely create, modify, or
delete files without restriction, and can erase data from the host computer. This
privilege, therefore, should be granted with caution.
While observing another computer, you can see the activity on its screen, but you
cannot control it. This privilege is useful for diagnosing problems on a remote
computer or giving a presentation.
