24.2 Usage of the SSL-VPN interface

367

Right under the navigation tree, actions available for the specified location (i.e. for the se-

lected item or folder) is provided. The basic functions provided by the SSL-VPN interface are

download of a selected file to the local host (the host where the user’s browser is running) and

uploading a file from the local host to a selected location in the remote domain (the user must

have write rights for the destination). Downloading or uploading of more than one file or of

entire folders is not possible.

For files and folders, any standard functions, such as copying, renaming, moving and removals,

are still available. Files and folders can be copied or moved within the frame of shared files in

the particular domain. In the current path, new folders can be created and empty folders can

be removed.

Antivirus control

If at least one antivirus is enabled in WinRoute (see chapter

13

), all files transferred by the

SSL-VPN interface can be scanned for viruses.

In default configuration, only files uploaded to hosts in remote private networks are scanned.

For connection speed reasons, files downloaded to local hosts from remote networks are not

scanned by antiviruses (files downloaded from private networks are considered as trustwor-

thy). Settings of antivirus check can be changed in antivirus configuration — see chapter

13.5

.

Bookmarks

For quick access to frequently used network items, so called bookmarks can be created. Book-

marks work on principles similar to the Favorites tool in Windows operating systems.

The Add to bookmarks option creates a new bookmark for the current path (the path displayed

in the URL entry). It is recommended to label by a short unique name — this will help you

with the bookmarks maintenance, especially if more bookmarks are used. If the name is not

specified, the bookmark will be listed in the list of bookmarks under the UNC path.

The Folder administration option allows editing or removing of created bookmarks as well

as creating of a new bookmark for any path (folder). The destination path can be specified

manually or it can be browsed in the folder tree and it is also possible to use an existing

bookmark as a starting point.
