Using File Shares

This section provides an example of a folder that is copied from a remote machine onto the local machine’s desktop, deleted from the remote machine, and moved back from the local machine unto the remote machine, all from the File Shares Applet.

Step 1 Launch the File Shares Applet by clicking on a bookmark in the Virtual Office portal.

Step 2 Double-click the C:\ drive, double-click the Documents and Settings folder, then double-click a specific folder, for example, the one that holds the Desktop folder.

Step 3 The current directory shows the Desktop folder. Select a file or folder from the remote machine and drag its icon onto the Desktop folder in the local machine. This will copy the item from the remote machine directly onto the desktop.

Step 4 Once the transfer is complete, double-click on the Desktop folder. The folder copied from the remote machine will display in that folder.

The SSL VPN 5.0 also supports multiple authentication methods, enhancing security while maintaining ease of access. It includes support for two-factor authentication (2FA), which adds an extra layer of protection during the login process. Administrators can configure various authentication schemes, including RSA SecurID, LDAP, RADIUS, and more, to meet organizational security policies.

Another notable characteristic of SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0 is its scalable architecture. Organizations can easily expand their VPN capabilities as their workforce grows.

In addition to security, SonicWALL SSL VPN 5.0 provides comprehensive access control options. Administrators can create policies that restrict user access based on roles or groups, making it easier to manage permissions and safeguard sensitive information. This granular control helps organizations enforce compliance with regulatory standards.

Moreover, the solution includes advanced logging and reporting capabilities that allow administrators to monitor user activity and access patterns. This insight not only aids in troubleshooting but also helps to identify potential security threats.
