GatRed Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) Hi, We use the Project sharing server functionality which is very useful to guarantee the consistency of the workflow when several people are working on the same project. I installed a Docker image on a synology server. For remote work, I opened the port used by the project sharing server. It works very well. But for now, no password is required. Is it possible to set a password to access to the folder ? (within Vectorworks or in another way ? ). @Tolu Edit : for technical reasons, I can’t set a VPN service, which was my first idea.

Christiaan Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 The answer is no unfortunately. It's designed to work over a local network, even though you can make it work over the net like this, so it wasn't designed with such security in mind. I have asked for such a feature, but that was on the mistaken belief that project sharing server over the net has performance/integrity advantages vs file sync, but it doesn't. Now we just use file sync, but I think there's still a case for password protection of project sharing server, and that use case is your one. 2 Quote Link to comment
GatRed Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Mmmh… Thanks for the crystal clear answer. For big project, it is a must have ! and would be a great enhancement for Vectorworks. Quote Link to comment
