Abstract

A consistent and familiar user interface for managing files within hub workspaces (tool sessions).  

Features:

  • Standard file/folder features (create, open, rename, delete, cut/copy/paste, sort, etc.)  
  • Run as a standalone file management application or as an open/save dialog for another tool
  • Native hub upload/download features 
  • Connect to an SFTP server 
  • Connect to iData datasets
  • Stage files from remote, unmounted filesystems in a local directory. After local access, write changes back to remote location.
  • Provide shortcuts to existing folders (session, sdata, for example) 
  • Compress or extract ZIP or TAR archives
