Oracle Files supports a wide range of protocols. You can use
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to transfer files, especially bulk transfers, between
a file system and the Oracle Files repository. You can also use the Web Folder
extension to Windows Explorer to transfer files. In addition, you can use FileSync
to synchronize all file changes between a local machine and Oracle Files. This
ensures that the contents of the local folders and the remote folders match.
For this lesson to work successfully, you will need your Oracle
Collaboration Suite administrator to supply you with a Collaboration Suite user
account.
In addition, Oracle FileSync must be installed on your local machine.
