Administering FileMaker Server 5-3
Listing hosted files and current guests remotely
Remote administration gives you several ways to list information
about hosted databases and the guests accessing them.
Tips
1 You can see a summary of all folders containing databases, the
number of all databases, and the number of all guests just below the
list no matter which tab is displayed.
1 You can sort information in columns by clicking the column
heading. The triangle in the selected column heading indicates the
sort order: up for ascending (A–Z, 0–n, or shortest to longest for time
durations) or down for descending (Z–A, n-0, or longest to shortest
for time durations).
1 Mac OS: To view database and guest information while working
on the server computer, see “Listing hosted files and guests locally
(Mac OS)” on page 5-9.
