Activity Menu

Users

The Users tab in the Activity tree item allows you to monitor and communicate with selected users. The following are the Users Activity Menu options:

When this option is selected the user information for the selected server or domain is reloaded or updated.

$image\butt_send_message.gif$ Send Message

This option allows you to send a message to the selected user. Not all FTP clients support this feature, so there’s no guarantee that the user receives the message.

$image\butt_send_broadcast_message.gif$ Broadcast

This option allows you to send a message to all users for the selected server or domain. Not all FTP clients support this feature, so there’s no guarantee that the user receives the message.

This option stops the selected user’s file transfer. This option is not available if the user is performing no transfers or no user is selected.

This option disconnects the user from the server. Use with care since this is an abrupt disconnect and it will interrupt whatever the user is doing.

$image\butt_spy_on_user.gif$ Spy on User
