Connection Type

Specifies connection type. Available options are Local Connection, Broad Band Connection and Narrow Band Connection. The proper selection will speed up the operations.

Use delta transfer for data transfer

Uses delta transfer for data transfer. Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted supports delta transfer to speed up the transfer of files. In non-LAN connection, it can speed up the file transfer greatly.

Act on projects recursively

Specifies whether Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted acts recursively by default on all projects and subprojects during operations that support recursion. Since performing recursive operations can sometimes be a lengthy process, the default option is OFF.

Make Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted your default SCC Provider

Specify whether to make Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted your default SCC Provider. Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted provides a way for you to toggle among Source Code Control providers when using IDE integration. This option is helpful for individuals who occasionally need to switch between SCC providers and are familiar with the ramifications.

Always request exclusive locks

Sets the default option for the Request Exclusive Lock checkbox in the Check Out dialog box. An exclusive lock on a file means that no one else can check the file in or out while the current user has it checked out.

Check if the socket is valid before network operations

Automatically checks the network connectivity between Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted Client and (Cache) Server when you perform an operation that requires network. If this option is checked, the client will automatically reconnect to the server or cache server when the network is invalid.

Setting folder for temporary files

Specifies the folder you want Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted to store temporary files. Type the full path in this textbox or click Browse to select one.

Delete all temporary files

Clears the folder storing temporary files.

Note: Creating your Temp folder locally, rather than on the network, may increase the performance of Dynamsoft SourceAnywhere Hosted.
