Connections dialog
To connect to a SpeedShare Server, the following information is needed:
- The server's name
- The user name
- The user password
- (Sometimes) the server's TCP/IP address
Normally, you will connect to a SpeedShare server using the
Qdea Worldwide Rendezvous. The Rendezvous makes connections between servers and clients by
name. It's easier to use the Rendezvous - all you need to know is the name of the server.
If you want to connect using a fixed TCP/IP address, click TCP/IP Address
and enter the address. TCP/IP addresses look like this: 56.129.247.86, where
each number is between 0 and 255. The TCP/IP address of a SpeedShare Server
is entered in the Log of the server each time it starts up.

Check this box to connect as a Guest to a SpeedShare server. When this box is checked,
no password is needed to connect to the server. If Guest connections are not enabled
on the SpeedShare server, connecting as a Guest will not succeed.
.dmg/Updaters/SpeedShare-1.0.4/SpeedShare User Guides/client_docs/images/CompressFiles.gif/CompressFiles.gif)
Check this box to compress files before they are sent to or from a SpeedShare server.
When you make a connection over a local area network (LAN), file transfers will be
faster if this box is not checked.
.dmg/Updaters/SpeedShare-1.0.4/SpeedShare User Guides/client_docs/images/EncryptFiles.gif/EncryptFiles.gif)
Check this box to encrypt files as they are sent to and from a SpeedShare server.
Encrypted files cannot be read as they are sent over the Internet.
When you make a connection over a local area network (LAN), file transfers will be
faster if this box is not checked.
