When you want to use inFlow in multi-user mode, you will need to choose one computer as your server. The server will host the inFlow data, whilst other computers (called clients) will connect to the server. The server computer should typically be:
- Powered on most of the time, allowing clients to connect
- One of the fastest computers you have available
To set up inFlow in multi-user mode, you need to do the following on the server computer:
- Install inFlow on the server computer.
- From the inFlow menu, choose Multi-User Mode under Settings.
- Click the "Server" button to set this computer up as a server
- When it's done the program will give you the connection info you'll need to hook up your other computers. You can click the save this file for use on other computers or simply write it down (this is always accessible through the change connection option when logged into an admin account as well).
Then to set up the other computers with inFlow
- Install inFlow on the computer you've chosen and be sure to select "client mode" during the install.
- Once it is complete you will be prompted to connect using the settings file you saved when setting up your server of by filling in those details manually below.
- Once they've been entered click "Connect."
If you are conneccting from a computer that was previously running a standalone copy of inFlow simply click the "Multi-user mode" option under Main Menu > Settings and choose "client" instead of "server", then proceed with steps 2 and 3 of the client instructions above.
The multi-user mode of inFlow is designed primarily within a local area network (LAN) environment. Click here to see information on connecting inFlow over the Internet.
