The central repository
The FTP central repository allows sharing of the created algorithms
within a user community.
All the FTP servers I had the opportunity to test have been compatible
with AlgViewer.
Two types of connection to the ftp server are possible, respectively
a User and an Administrator connection. Both require that you first
set the Sync menu Configure options.
Configure
Id, password, host address and port of the FTP connection are
entered through the Config window. Clicking the submit button verifies
that the connection configuration is appropriate (see configure
window picture Config_pic ).

User sync
The User sync is started with the User ftp_sync option of the
Sync menu.
When selected, it will add to the local repository all the algorithms
and directories present in the central repository and absent in
the local machine.
All the algorithms present in the local and not in the central
repository are uploaded to the Alg_candidates remote directory.
Algorithms with the same name are considered in the current
release identical. Algs are identified as new only if they
have different names. Modification time is not taken into account.
Modified algorithms with an unchanged name will not be uploaded
to the server.
Synchronization time will vary according to the number of files
needing to be transferred, to the server load and to the speed of
your connection. The cursor icon will become a small spider during
this process.
Administrator sync
The Administrator sync is started with the Administrator Ftp_sync
option of the Sync menu.
When selected, it will add to the local repository all the algorithms
and directories present in the central repository and absent in
the local machine.
All the algorithms present in the local, and not in the central
repository, are uploaded directly to the main Algs_dir working FTP
directory, and not to the Alg_candidates directory.
Again, algorithms with the same name are considered in
the current release identical. Algs are identified as new
only if they have different names. Modification time is not taken
into account. Modified algorithms with an unchanged name
will not be uploaded to the server.
Synchronization time will vary according to the number of files
needing to be transferred, to the server load and to the speed of
your connection. The cursor icon will become a small spider during
this process
