Using Server-to-Server Sharing
|
|
==============================
|
|
|
|
ownCloud 7 introduces a powerful new feature, server-to-server sharing. With
|
|
just a few clicks you can easily access shares from other ownCloud 7 servers,
|
|
link them to your account, and create your own shares. This feature enables you
|
|
to:
|
|
|
|
* Selectively share files or directories.
|
|
* Combine two private clouds into a single public cloud.
|
|
* Eliminate the need to create user accounts on multiple ownCloud servers.
|
|
* View files in a Web browser or ownCloud client.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Server-to-server sharing requires that both servers are running
|
|
versions of ownCloud that support this feature; currently this is ownCloud 7.
|
|
|
|
Creating a New Share
|
|
------------------------
|
|
|
|
Server-to-server sharing is enabled on new or upgraded ownCloud 7 installations
|
|
by default. (See "Configuring Server-to-Server Sharing" in the Administrators
|
|
Manual.) Follow these steps to create a new share:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to your ``Files`` page and hover your cursor over the file or directory
|
|
you want to share to expose your administration options. Check the ``Share
|
|
Link`` checkbox to create the share, and to expose all of your sharing options.
|
|
|
|
2. Set any options that you want to apply to your new share: send an email
|
|
notification, add password protection, allow users to upload files to the share,
|
|
or set an expiration date.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/s2s-create_public_share.png
|
|
|
|
And that's all there is to it. Your new public share is labeled with a chain
|
|
link. If you do not protect it with a password, it is visible to anyone who has
|
|
the URL. (ownCloud server admins have the option of requiring users to set
|
|
passwords on shares in ``Admin > Sharing.``)
|
|
|
|
|
|
Connecting to a Remote Share
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
1. Open the share link in your Web browser.

|
|

|
|
|
|
2. Click the ``Add to your ownCloud`` button, and enter the URL of your ownCloud
|
|
server. If you are not already logged in you will get a login window.
|
|
|
|
3. After logging in you will see a dialogue asking you ``"Do you want to add the
|
|
remote share [share name] from [remote server name]?"``
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/s2s-add-remote-share.png
|
|
|
|
4. Click the ``Add Remote Share`` button, and enjoy your new share. It is marked
|
|
with a share icon, and the name of the share's owner and originating server.
|
|
|
|
.. figure:: ../images/s2s-remote-share-labeled.png
|
|
|
|
Remove your linked share anytime by clicking the trash can icon.
