Key Things To Know About WebFile

Every time you log onto the server a temporary location is opened for you to move files to and from the server. It is called WebFile.

1. It is Temporary – if you log off /let your session time out for the day, anything left in WebFile will auto-delete from the server.
2. Any file dragged to the Browser Window will appear in [WebFile].
3. Any file you drag, copy, or move to this location while working on the server will trigger a download to your Local Machine.
4. Filenames that include %, ~, #, $, *, and | will cause errors and should be changed prior to dragging to the window or WebFile.
5. WebFile will try to send any file placed in that directory immediately so it’s best to work with files already saved or exported.
6. If you are having trouble printing something using universal printer redirected, you can save the document and transfer to your local machine for printing options specific to your local machine's printer.
