Web Folder Core Settings
Below are detailed descriptions of the core settings available in the General tab for a Web Folder Access Profile:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Search field | The search field at the top of the Settings menu allows searching a specific parameter by its name. |
| Connection Name | The friendly name shown on the Access Profile’s card in the home-page list and on the browser tab when the profile is open. |
| Virtual path | By default, Thinfinity creates a unique URL address for the current Access Profile. If you want to customize it, make sure your address is unique and web compatible and that it has the following format: http(s)://ThinfinityDomain:port/VirtualPath/. You can then create a web shortcut for this specific access profile and bypass the Thinfinity® Workspace web interface. |
| Labels | Access Profiles can be organized into groups (labels) for which you can collectively manage the permissions settings. This field shows the names of the groups (or labels) that the current profile is a part of. For details, see Labels. |
| Profile preview | Use this button to customize the appearance of your Access Profile by choosing an image. Selecting the image will open the Customize Profile dialog window where you can select one of the available images or upload one from your computer. |
| Enabled | When on (default), the Access Profile is available. When off, direct URLs no longer route to it and the profile disappears from the home-page card list. |
| Visible | When on (default), the Access Profile appears on the home-page card list for users who have permission to it. When off, the card is hidden, but users with the direct URL can still open the profile. |
| Default Profile | When on, users who have this Access Profile log in and connect directly to it, skipping the home page. |
| Open in a new tab | When on, launching this Access Profile opens it in a new browser tab. When off (default), it opens in the current tab. |
| Local Server | This option is selected by default and the associated Root Path field displays the path to the folder that is being published. If disabled, an additional Server URL field is displayed and you can enter the corresponding URL. |
| Root Path | Indicates the path to the folder to be shared. |
| User Credentials | Choose credentials to log into the specified remote computer: • Use authenticated credentials: Use the credentials entered in Thinfinity Workspace (from the Permissions tab) to log in. The user will connect automatically after selecting the profile or after authenticating for Thinfinity Workspace. • Ask for new credentials: Prompt the user to enter new login credentials for the computer. • Use these credentials: Enter specific credentials to access the computer. The user will connect automatically after selecting the profile or authenticating for Thinfinity Workspace. |
