Logging In to Managed Resources Using a Web Browser for O&M
After you log in to a host resource using a web browser, the cooperation, file management, file transfer, and command preset functions are available for you. All operations performed on a host 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 on the pane on the right 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 on a local server or net disk to a host or download multiple files from a host to a local server or net disk, if Host Files is selected as the destination address.
