Allowing Remote Access
Remote users can only see and access projects from the local computer that you configure for remote access. If you want to permit remote access to one or more projects, but not to other projects, be sure to place those projects in separate folders. When you configure remote access (either for project editing or the runtime), you configure it for an entire folder. All projects in a folder configured to permit remote access will be accessible to remote users. For information about accessing a remote project, see
Running Projects.
The software installation includes a web server (TWebServer) that permits remote access between computers with FactoryStudio installed. No other configuration is needed. If you are using the Microsoft IIS web server, see
Installing services on IISTo find projects and manage remote access:
