The program essentially consists of a main window. All connections are displayed in a table in this window. All the necessary commands are quickly accessible in the toolbar in order to establish or disconnect connections. The displayed table entries can be sorted or grouped in many ways. The menu contains additional commands relating to data and file management. Within the table, further commands can be executed via pop-up menu.
The table displays the data in different columns. The first two columns show the status of the connection and of the target server. A mapped share can be mapped to either a drive letter or \, which is shown in the Drive column.
The File menu contains commands for managing database files. Here you can create a new database, open a DB and save an existing one under a new name. There is no save command because the program saves all data directly and automatically. The user does not have to worry about it. The settings of the program can also be found under this menu item. The Data menu takes you to the management dialog for all connections. The master password can also be changed here. An information dialog about the program itself is hidden under the Info menu. Toolbar The most important commands for daily use are in the toolbar. Connections can be made and broken here. The status of the target server can be determined (ping). Connected networks can be opened directly in a file manager. You can also group the contents of the table.
This menu, accessible by right-clicking within the table, offers commands for opening a connection in the file manager. Entries can be edited and the target servers can be switched on (wake on lan).
All connection data can be managed in a separate dialog window. It is called up under the menu item Data | data management. A network connection consists of different components, the connection parameters, the groups and the users. These are grouped by tabs in the dialog window. The structure is largely identical in all tabs. There is a toolbar with commands for creating, deleting and changing the data records. Records can be imported and exported. There is also a clone button for connections
On the left is a list of all entries and on the right the data is displayed. If you want to edit an entry, you have to select it and switch to edit mode. This editing mode can be ended by clicking on Save or Cancel.
The following overview table lists all properties and their meaning of a connection. Connections can be duplicated by cloning.
Connections can be managed in groups so that a meaningful overview is possible. However, the title can only be assigned once.
If there is no group yet, one must be created before a connection can be created. All connections contained in the respective group are listed in the right-hand list.
If there are no users yet, one must be created before a connection can be created.
The list on the right shows all connections using this user. The password field has a special behavior here. The password is always hidden. The abc or *** button can be used to switch between the password display. Changing the password is only possible in hidden display mode. If you click in the field, the content is deleted. It is not possible to change the field content, you have to enter the complete password again.
The issue of security and handling passwords is also important in this context. There is a separate chapter for this.
In all three categories, the data can also be imported and exported as a file. The format is CSV. See also the Technology chapter. In all cases, a file must first be selected. Various options can be set depending on the respective import/export process. The overview table provides information on this.
A lot of effort was put into the development of the program to ensure the security of the passwords. The data is all stored in plain text in one file. However, the password is then encrypted. Decryption Success immediately before use when establishing a network connection. As long as no network connection is established or the password is displayed in plain text in the program window, it is only stored in highly encrypted form in the main memory.
In addition to the passwords for the network shares, there is the master password. This encrypts all network passwords. When a new database is created or an existing one is opened, a master password is always requested. At this time, however, no network passwords are processed in any form in clear text in memory.
The master password can be changed. The previous password must be entered first, followed by the new password.
In the File | Settings, some parameters of the program can be changed individually.
In addition to German, English can also be selected as the language for the program interface. If you want to load a database when you start the program, check this box. After restarting the program, the parameters are active.
