Using Server-to-Server Sharing
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
ownCloud supports server-to-server sharing. By mounting a share from another
|
|
ownCloud instance, this feature enables you to:
|
|
|
|
* Seamlessly collaborate and share files from within two ownCloud instances.
|
|
* Combine two private clouds into a single public cloud.
|
|
* Locally synchronize the folder through the client.
|
|
* Eliminate the need to create user accounts on multiple instances.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Server-to-server sharing requires that both servers are running
|
|
versions of ownCloud that support this feature.
|
|
|
|
For information about managing server-to-server sharing functions for internal
|
|
and external users and groups see the following section.

Sharing Files and Folders Across Servers
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Server-to-server sharing is enabled on new or upgraded ownCloud installations
|
|
by default. However, you need to share folders in a particular way for
|
|
server-to-server sharing to function. When sharing files and folders across
|
|
servers, two primary steps are required. These steps include:
|
|
|
|
1. The originator sharing a file or folder from their server using a link.
|
|
|
|
2. The receiver(s) of the shared file or folder adding the file or folder to their ownCloud instance.

Sharing From a Server

|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
To share a file or folder across servers as an originator:
|
|
|
|
1. Access the Files app on your server.
|
|
|
|
2. Select and share a file or folder by link.

**Sharing a link**
|
|
|
|
3. (Optional) Specify an alphanumeric password that you want others to use in order to accessing this share.
|
|
|
|
4. (Optional) Specify an expiration date for the share.
|
|
|
|
If set, the ability to access the link expires on the date specified.
|
|
|
|
3. Send an email to the user or group to indicate the shared link.
