Logging In to Application Resources Using a Web Browser for O&M

After you log in to an application resource using a web browser, the cooperation, file management, and file transfer functions are available for you. All operations performed on an application resource are recorded by CBH for audit.

  • Cooperation: This function allows the session initiator to invite other system users to participate the current session by sharing the session link with them, implementing O&M collaboration.
  • File management: This function allows all session participants to manage files or folders on hosts and host net disk after they obtain the operation permissions. In addition, they can:
    • Create new folders.
    • Change the name of a file or folder.
    • Delete files or folders in batches.
  • File transfer: This function allows session participants to download or upload files or folders on the host or host net disk after they obtain the operation permissions. They can:
    • Upload and download files.
    • Upload folders.
    • Upload multiple files or a folder to a host net disk or download multiple files from a host net disk to a local host, if Netdisk is selected as the destination address.
