Opening remote event list configurations

You can open a remote event list configuration file in order to open one or more event lists that are located on a remote server. The server must be accessible using HTTP or FTP.

1. From the Event List monitor box window, click File > Open. The Open Configuration window opens.
2. Complete this window as follows: In the File name field, type a Web address for the remote file and click OK. You must use one of the following formats for the Web address:

   http://servername[:port]/path/filename.elc

   http://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elc

   ftp://servername[:port]/path/filename.elc

   ftp://username:password@servername[:port]/path/filename.elc

   The optional port number :port needs to be specified only if the server is not using the default port. For HTTP, a Web server must be running on the remote host.

   You can optionally specify an IPv4 or IPv6 address for the servername value. When specifying an IPv6 address, enclose the address within brackets []; for example:

   http://[2003:13f8:206:190:204:baef:fe6a:6af0]:2880/mydir/myfile.elc

   For FTP, the path is the relative path from the home directory; for example, /mydir/myconfig.elc.

   A copy of the remote file is written to a local cache. On Windows systems, when you specify a remote file that you have previously opened, the cached copy is used. If the remote file cannot be retrieved, an error message is displayed.
