About the included File Transfer Utility
The file transfer utility that is included in this package is used to transfer files to DeBoard running on a remote computer. This program assumes you have the RELOAD option set in the current running version of DeBoard. This program uses timers to send the files to DeBoard. Time ranges from 1 second to 4 hours. It will replace the current text files running in DeBoard. You should make backups of all text files before using this program. 

Required:
The remote machine is the computer running the File Transfer utility. It is assumed that you have the proper security settings on the computer running DeBoard. You must have 'file create and write" rights on this machine (running DeBoard) from the remote. You may need to map the DeBoard drive to the remote machine's directly using drive letters. In testing we did not have to do a mapping.

To map DeBoard's drive to the remote machine do the following:
Click on 'My Computer" and select [Map Drive]. Locate the DeBoard machine on you network and map it's drive to the remote machine using any drive letter. The options are explained below.

See the options on the Help page in the file transfer utility for more information.
